  • 2017 Horrible Hundred Report
    The Horrible Hundred 2017 A sampling of problem puppy mills and puppy dealers in the United States May 2017 For the fifth straight year, The Humane Society of the United States is reporting on problem puppy mills, including some dealers (re-sellers) and transporters. The Horrible Hundred 2017 report is a list of known, problematic puppy breeding and/or puppy brokering facilities. It is not a list of all puppy mills, nor is it a list of the worst puppy mills in the country. The HSUS provides this update annually, not as a comprehensive inventory, but as an effort to inform the public about common, recurring problems at puppy mills. The information in this report demonstrates the scope of the puppy mill problem in America today, with specific examples of the types of violations that researchers have found at such facilities, for the purposes of warning consumers about the inhumane conditions that so many puppy buyers inadvertently support. The year 2017 has been a difficult one for puppy mill watchdogs. Efforts to get updated information from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on federally-inspected puppy mills were severely crippled due to the USDA’s removal on Feb. 3, 2017 of all animal welfare inspection reports and most enforcement records from the USDA website. As of April 20, 2017, the USDA had restored some Puppies at the facility of Alvin Nolt in Thorpe, Wisconsin, were found on unsafe wire flooring, a repeat violation at the facility. Wire flooring animal welfare records on research facilities and is especially dangerous for puppies because their legs can become other types of dealers, but almost no records on entrapped in the gaps, leaving them unable to reach food, water or pet breeding operations were restored.

The blue in “pit bull”. The blue in “pit bull” became a point of controversy. Various information extracts about the “Blue” in Pitbull’s – as with so many reasoning’s about “out” breed, this is what we have to work or deal with. Wayne D. Brown's book “History of the American Pit bull terrier” - on pages 25 and 26 he notes: That in the late 1930's one of the most important bloodlines of Pit Bulls was the Lightner dogs. He illustrates that in the conventions of 1936 and 1937, there were Lightner dogs of the dark variety and Lightner dogs of the red nose variety, and a classic confrontation of the two. When Bob Hemphill wrote to Lighter that they were going to use Hall's Searcy Jeff, of the red nose Lightner strain, in the Oklahoma Convention of 1936 at Medicine Park Oklahoma, Lightner wrote back that the red nose blood in Jeff was as game was would ever be bred and, further that the black and blue breeding in (Runyon's Colorado) Imp (II) was as game as would ever be bred. So, the contest between Hall's Searcy Jeff and Runyon's Colorado Imp II at the Oklahoma Convention of 1936 was a classic confrontation between the red nose Lightner dogs and the dark and blue Lightner dogs.

  • 2019 Horrible Hundred
    The Horrible Hundred 2019 A sampling of problem puppy mills and puppy sellers in the United States For the seventh year in a row, the Humane Society of the United States is publishing a list of 100 problem puppy mills and dog sellers. The 2019 Horrible Hundred is a list of problem dealers in the United States that the HSUS is aware of, published annually to warn consumers about common problems at puppy mills, and to urge government oversight agencies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture, to live up to their enforcement obligations. It is not a list of the worst operations, because many puppy mills are not inspected at all and thus operate in secrecy. Since our last report was published in May 2018, some of the dealers listed in that report appear to have closed their doors, including the notorious Laughlin Kennel (Robert Fink) in Massachusetts, Georgia Puppies (Craig Gray aka Reason Gray) in Georgia, and Samples Creek Kennel (Pam Baldwin) in Missouri. A few other Missouri dealers, including Pup 4 U, aka Cedercrest Kennel (Marilyn Shepherd aka Above: State inspectors found filthy conditions and an emaciated Marilyn Williams), have been penalized by the Great Dane at D and S Puppies in Cumby, Texas.

  • What You Wanted to Know About Buying & Owning English Bulldogs
    What You Wanted To Know About Buying & Owning English Bulldogs But Didn’t Know Who To Ask… Special Free Report Prepared By: Benjamin from ChampionBullies.com The Leading Breeder of AKC Champion‐Sired English Bulldogs www.EnglishBulldogBreeder.com 321‐276‐1159 1 If you are considering an English Bulldog puppy, you are in for a real treat with this breed. The English Bulldog, also affectionately known as a “Bullie” or “Bullies”. The bulldog is a muscular heavy dog with a wrinkled face and a distinctive pushed‐in nose. The bulldog is a breed with characteristically thick shoulders and a matching head. There are generally thick folds of skin on a bulldog's brow, followed by round, black, wide‐set eyes, a short muzzle with characteristic folds called "rope" above the nose, with hanging skin under the neck, drooping lips, and pointed teeth. The coat is short, flat and sleek, with colors of red, fawn, white, brindle (mixed colors, often in waves or irregular stripes), and piebalds of these. In the US, the size of a typical mature male is about 45 pounds and that for mature females is about 45 pounds for a Standard English Bulldog. Bulldog Temperament Despite their famous "sourpuss" expression, bulldogs are generally docile although can prove to be very fast movers over a short distance. They are friendly and gregarious but occasionally willful. The phrase "stubborn as a bulldog" is loosely rooted in fact. 2 Breeders have worked to breed aggression out of the breed, and as such the dog is known to be of generally good temperament.
