Poor babies :( people make me sick and ashamed. All to make a buck too... I hope she gets punished for those conditions and is stuck in poor conditions of her own

We think that's why Mitzy pees on the porches outside and the tile inside because she basically spent her puppyhood in a crate :(

That is just terrible. Hopefully, the news attention will get this person out of business for good. Those poor little ones didn't ask for any of this but they live in pain all their lives or are emotionally scarred.

Thanks for posting the story! Hopefully someone will benefit from the information and NOT purchase one of her puppies. It is so very sad to think that anyone can treat such "innocent creatures this way. . . . . and get away with it for sooooo long!:mad: I hope the authorities will see that justice prevails!!!

im glad someone is exposing them. Peter and I went to a local petstore, their puppies came from Hunt. Hunt corp really covers their butt. I asked who the breeder was, they gave me a name, they had all their vaccination papers, and a predigree certificate. If I had no idea what an AKC certificate looked like then the stores predigree certificate looks legit enough. I asked what happens to the puppies if they dont get adopted out. She was very nice and young. She said that they would go back to the breeders or send them to the pound. I figured since the economy is bad no one is willing to cough up hundreds of dollar to get a puppy. They had a couple of puppies that were 6-7months old. Real sad~

The story is really about the pet store and the Breeder is in MN.
So its really about 2 sets of losers that are perpetuating this.

One thing I found Very disturbing besides the animal cruelty was that Laughlin Kennels ads show up in the ads by Google at the top of the page !!!

Everytime I read or hear about or see something about a mill, I try hard to just think about what is going to happen to the humans that did this to those doggies. OH what they have coming to them....

It's far, far worse than that story shows. Since it's here in Minnesota, one of our local news crews did a few stories on it. The worst part is that they say she could continue doing it even if she's convicted.

I'm providing a link to the video from last night's newscast where they show the hidden camera footage. Be forewarned, it's heart-crushing to watch this.

The breeder here is Puppies On Wheels.

Their website is http://puppysonwheels.com/

I post the link here in hopes that anybody searching for them will find this and will understand the kinds of horrible things they do to the dogs. As the news story says, it's possible she could continue profiting from the way she tortures these animals even if she's convicted. That's why it's important to let any prospective customers see the video for themselves.

That was absolutely horrible. I watched her grab that poor dog and dip it into that solution. What a miserable person she is to mistreat such innocent and loving creatures. Something has to be done before she cause any more injury and misery. YOU are soooooooooo right, it was heart-crushing to watch.:(:(:(
