Default Want to know what German Kennels look like?

This is one of the many "Oh so great&reputable" breeding facilities in Germany. The documentation is in German. However, it is not the only breeding facility that looks like that and you'll get the idea.

People have tried for years to bring him down and the only way to get the attention of the authorities was to inform peta. Sad part is, the breeders wife is an official Veterinarian working with the County Animal Control.



The dogs don't get to go out of the kennels, the dogs get water ONCE a day. They all have diarrhea, they lay in their own poop, the kennel facility is falling apart... and those are the so called "reputable" breeders people buy from. He's charging over a 1000 Euros for his puppies. 20 Dogs are out there...

Not even going to watch the video--anything by PETA is a biased lie IMO. If it was up to them, dogs would not be owned by people, period. We all know what they think of breeders in general. Nothing put out by any breeder by them is going to show anything in an even remotely positive light.

Who is the breeder in the video?

No, this is not biased at all. Peta Germany is quite different from Peta in the US and everything said from Peta is the truth. I've been following this breeder and the story for more than one year before Peta was even contacted and investigated the case. It's one of those breeders who shouldn't be breeding.

I"ve watched documentaries all over the world by PETA. I don't buy that Germany happens to be different.

Who is the breeder? You can PM me.

I am 100% positive there are "breeders/kennels" in both Canada and the United States that have the same conditions. They are all over.

Unfortunately until people stop buying from them nothing is going to change - both here in Canada, the USA and Germany (and many, many, many other countries).

That is why educating people on what to look for in a reptuable breeder is so important.

Places like this forum and the like need to be educational tools in not only the breed but in choosing a puppy or dog.

I only watched bits and parts of the video and have to say it wasn't anything different than I have seen before. It happens very close to my house in an amish community (NOT saying all amish are like this so please do not sterotype as it has been proven in THIS particular community animal hoarding/puppy mills are active) but education the people in MY community about it, about how to choose a reptuable breeder, etc. is extremely important.

I do not know that we really can call out the breeder, that would be breeder bashing.

The kennels are small, and some have two dogs in them.

there is poop and we saw the same group of piles about 18 times. I have seen worse, but it is obvious that providing crappy care and accomadations for dogs is not just a US thing.

Trust me, that one is for real. I know quite a few people who know that guy not only personally from the Shows but seen the place, know the dogs, know the practices. He's been admitting quite a few of the things they are saying online in his own forum, I talked to him personally myself as well.

This is going on for years and nobody did anything because his wife is in the position she's in. She's a Vet with the County. None of the organizations, except for Peta wanted to do something about it. They took him to court, they went to the press, they filmed everything, took photos, put them up on the internet... it's an ongoing topic for many many months now and in this case, many dog handlers thank Peta for taking the initiative. If this is the only way to get attention... more power to Peta! At least SOMEBODY is putting it out there...

There is a second part coming out next week. I've seen more than what was shown in the video. Much more and trust me, you don't want to see it.

The wet floors is soaked with Urine, the poop used to be on the walls and worms were all over the place. The food he's feeding, you don't want to see that either and you do not want to know how he is admittingly treating his dogs.
