Hunte Brand Products were developed to meet an important need not previously met. These are: Puppy Aid- A lactobacillus based product that regulates the intestinal tract and corrects stress related diarrhea. It is added to the water and may also be added to food. It contains lactobacillus (containing a source of live naturally occurring microorganisms), dextrose, and electrolytes flavored with coconut and vanilla for palatability. Totalcide II- A disinfectant that is the most effective (according to the EPA) and economical disinfectant available today. It is in tablet form and mixes using one tablet per gallon of water. Hunte Foaming Hand Sanitizer- Most brands of hand sanitizers are alcohol based and will dry and irritate the skin; because of the aloe vera in this product, it actually makes skin feel smoother and conditioned. As a sanitation strategy, this product has real benefit for the health of puppies by limiting the transmission of viral and bacterial infection. Hunte puppies are healthy. The documented death loss of animals sold by The Hunte Corporation is seven tenths of one percent. Please compare that to other sources, and you may draw your own conclusions. Breeders who supply puppies to The Hunte Corporation follow an extensive program of requirements determined by our Veterinary team as it relates to immunization, worming, vaccination and other aspects of animal care. Puppies are examined by our veterinarians between eight and nine weeks of age. Every puppy is subjected to a complete musculoskeletal examination. The Hunte Corporation's criteria for acceptance must be met. We never accept a sick puppy. Puppies not accepted are sold to others or placed in homes by the breeders. When I entered this business 15 years ago we were able to accept approximately 70% of the animals we examined. Because of constant, ongoing breeder education, and continuous improvement of the animal husbandry and animal care standards practiced in the professional pet industry, we are now able to accept about 90% of the puppies breeders offer to sell to us. Hunte enjoys an excellent working relationship with Pfizer Animal Health. On several occasions that company has utilized our facility for testing. Royal Canin Dog Food is used exclusively and we recommend this food to breeders, including Royal Canin's German Shepherd dog food, which is excellent. Photos of my dog Champion Kaleef's Arno of Greenleaf at nine months old, are an example. The Hunte Corporation is a licensed professional pet distributor. We operate the most advanced puppy distribution facility in the world, designed and built with the welfare of puppies first and foremost in mind. Special care is paid to sanitation, temperature control, air quality, nutrition and socialization of each puppy. In addition to world class kennel facilities, our veterinary facilities are without peer in the fancy or the pet or veterinary industry. We are regulated by the federal government under the Animal Welfare Act, and by the State of Missouri. Our compliance record is excellent. Federal and state officials recognize The Hunte Corporation as a national leader in animal care. Hunte Kennel Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hunte Corporation operates Professional Breeder Supply Pet Centers in two locations. We manufacture turnkey kennel buildings for breeders and make available for purchase almost anything that a breeder would require in their kennel operation, including kennel building supplies and equipment, vaccines and wormers, and an array of pet products. We recommend Royal Canin but also offer Iams, Eukunba, Science Diet, Purina, Pro Pack, Pro Plan, Nutro and other dog food diets. The plastics division of Hunte Kennel Systems manufactures puppy display fixtures, nebulizers and holding compartments for veterinarians, and other products made out of HD, HM, polyethylene plastic accessorized with stainless steel doors, floors and plastic trays. The Hunte Kennel Systems' ventilation design is unique, and provides tremendous health advantages for our puppies. We have spent many years developing a germicidal ultraviolet with titanium air purification system that kills airborne bacteria and viruses; it also virtually eliminates odor. Efficiently and economically, we are able to remove stale air and bring in fresh air while maintaining constant air temperature. We provide these products and others to veterinarians, Pet Stores and breeders nationwide. We do not breed or broker puppies. Sometime ago we did own a breeding facility known as Sunrise Kennels; which was managed by one of our staff veterinarians. We started that breeding operation in 1994 so that we could gain first hand knowledge and experience of professionally ran kennel operations so that we could know how best to assist professional breeders improve their animal care practices and their operations. In 2001 we exited the breeding business in order to concentrate on our core puppy distribution business. As I mentioned previously, I am personally committed to breeder education and improvement. That is a major focus of The Hunte Corporation. In 2006 we held our 7th Annual Breeders Educational Conference in Joplin, Missouri This has become the largest breeder education conference in the world, as far as I can determine. There were over 2,000 breeders registered to attend the two-day event. Key-note speakers featured renowned veterinarians and other industry experts. The 8th Annual Breeders Educational Conference will be held in Joplin, Missouri on September 28-29, 2007. Of course, you are all invited to come to this event, and to see in action my commitment and that of my company to breeder education and improvement. Professional commercial breeders, hobby breeders and breeders from the "fancy" attend this conference to learn things such as: ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
