I dont condone the dirt either but I also didnt see any feces in the crates and Ive hit slow on all the different videos and photos that Ive seen. Every kennel smells! I walk into dog kennels of any kind and the smell bothers me . And the smell of my dogs bothers me when I come to get them (which is one of the reasons that the kennel that I use bathes my dogs before I pick them up) . I have heard (yes its hearsay) that one of the dogs that was seized is owned by a breeder from Holland who had sent him over for use as a stud. How is she supposed to get her dog back? Those dogs all look healthy, happy and well socialized especially for abused GSDs. The one that balked at being dragged by a sliprope, looked to be about 10 months old and terrified...which I would expect with all the commotion that went on. She looked slim but not skinny. These are West German Show Line dogs (one is a Zenevredo and one is a Bad-Boll both names that Im very familiar with) and I thought that they were all stunning looking animals. And the puppies looked healthy, pudgy and gorgeous. Sorry yes, Dawn is a pig but her dogs sure looked good to me.

I will say after watching both videos that the dogs looked pretty healthy to me. And... how do you confiscate so called "sick" dogs and the day after they're up for adoption? The puppies looked pretty healthy too! Liana ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
