I am sorry folks, but I don't usually tend to use profanity, but this really did it to me. This is a bunch of crap. This man is smart, he knows how to get to people, draw out their money and talk about God. The Golden Lamb perhaps. What goes around comes around and I am convinced that some day he will pay his dues starting with burning his lil' ol' tootsies.

Certainly is an intersting article. Puke is a good word. Sharon Allbright Hunte feels strongly that there is a difference between animal rights and animal welfare. "Animals don't have rights," he said. "They do deserve to be provided and cared for, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that animals have rights, and that's the book I operate by." Indeed, it is Hunte's spiritual conviction that has set the tone for his business success and growth. "I got saved in 1991 just as I was beginning to build this company," he explained. "I was 47 years old and delivered from smoking. It came on a night that I thought I might die from bronchial pneumonia and I asked God to help me give up this habit. The need was taken from me and within three days the desire for a cigarette was gone and I had no withdrawal problems at all. I knew then that God did exist." Hunte decided to invite God to be a part of his latest business venture. "I never in my wildest dreams knew what God had in mind. There was no one else to follow or model ourselves after, except God." So how did it happen? "We did it by trial and error. We established criteria that we would use when we would accept a puppy to sell. We hung on by the seat of our pants and just went for it." Gina Hunte smiles and adds, "We also had our previous experience of running pet stores and knowing what customers wanted. We knew what we wanted them to experience when they came in the store and we began to create that in our own way." Andrew agrees and acknowledges his wife's work, "she was the top salesperson and was out on the floor talking to the customers. She was able to inform the staff as to what the needs were and created the ways to meet those needs." Today Gina oversees all aspects of the financial dealings with the company and other family members are on staff as well. The company's motto is Doing What's Right. "That requires some hard decisions," said Andrew Hunte. "You have to ask 'what would Jesus do' for the puppies, our customers, our breeders, the finances and our employees." It's a mission that drives the Huntes daily to fulfill. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Madlung" <stormygsd@xxxxxxx> To: "ShowGSD-l" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 4:13 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] This will make you puke.. http://www.showmetheozarks.com/Templates/UpdatedStandardHeader.aspx?PostingI D=537&EditMode=False&ReturnUrl= Apparently, it was God who told Hunte to go into the puppy business..
