"The visit turned up 18 bichon frise dogs that were "living in unsanitary conditions and had heavily matted coats, long nails and open tumors on some of the dogs that were untreated," police said."
AND
"On April 28, Aguirre returned to the kennel, where Winkler relinquished "an emaciated and sickly border collie," police said."
AND
"The three dog wardens then returned June 4 to the kennel and discovered three Neapolitan Mastiff dogs "in health conditions that indicate that necessary vet care had not been provided...The wardens returned June 7 to find "two of the Neapolitan mastiffs were deceased, one of which was disposed of outside of the kennel in a wheelbarrow," police said."
As a person who comes from an extensive AKC background, this makes me really sad.

It's a shame that people who "should know better" are the first to be the biggest abusers.
ReplyDeleteI did not hear about this until just now.
ReplyDeleteThis is horrible. Just horrible.
Shame on them.
Maybe that is one of the reasons why the sport of dog showing is on the decline.
What wrong have those furkids done that they are treated so badly by these so called 'judges'? This world has gone crazy nowadays! I'm sad!
