Puppy Mill

Basenji Talk
  • I received an e-mail last night from the BRAT adoption coordinator that we got Jojo from. She said that a puppy mill in MO was closing and BRAT, who doesn't normally go to puppy mills and purchase pups but they thought this was different, went and got 2 mamas and 13 puppies!!! She also said that if you make a donation to the vet bill that you get to name a pup. Four already have names! There are pics on Yahoo abd she put the link in the e-mail but first, I don't know how to add a link and second, I read in the admin section of this forum that you are not to add a link unless approved by them. I would love to have you see this link. Any help? Terry

  • Terry,
    There are pictures of the pups in the "Rescues" section of this forum. It isn't the group of pictures that Liz posted with Brat, but group pictures and puppy pile pictures. They are great.

  • Thank you Alkite. There was a sad story included in my e-mail but not sure if it is "out" there. The ones I am talking about are individual pics of the puppies in a basket or standing side view. I will check the "Rescues" section out. Thanks again. Terry

  • The individual pics are great and they are not on this site anywhere, just group shots of the same pups. Lady's and Isabelle's. They are just the cutest little things. I've picked the one I want :D Unfortunately there just isn't anymore room in the inn.

    @dagodingo - Note that if flying, most airlines have age limits and when I fly American (in cabin) age must be 10wks.

    @lvoss: It has been raining most of the day here and L'Ox has been unenthusiastic to say the least about going outside. He has been doing really well on potty training and is starting to ask to go out but you could tell every time he actually got outside he was horrified by all the wet. So his remedy was to run to the edge of the covered porch and pee and rush back in. His dilemma was how to do the rest of his business without melting in the rain? So while I was in the kitchen gathering up the dog dishes I hear a clatter and see a little puppy butt escaping into the garage through the cat door. I follow him out there only to find him pooping near the cat's litter box. I guess I should be glad that he seems to be using his brain for good rather than evil right now. My little girl was like that but got out of the habit. She realized that going in the house was naughty (she wouldn't go on the toilet training mats we got her) and even though she hated her feet wet she went on the grass anyway and when she came inside she did the basenji thing and she licked it off her feet.

    @agilebasenji: You really, really do not want to bring a puppy home that is younger than 8 weeks old. In many states it is illegal AND the puppy misses out on learning valuble puppy skills, most importantly bite inhibition. Many breeders even suggest taking a new puppy home around 10 weeks. This is SO TRUE!!! 7 wks is way to young to be bring home a puppy and taking it from his/her littermates…. I don't let puppies go till they are 10wks... And please do not just take someone's word for it that there is no Fanconi.... please check it out for yourself. This is not to say that people are not honest.. but as they always say "Buyer Beware".... it is your responsibility to verify. Also were there any other health tests done? As Kathy pointed out, most of the responsible breeders all know each other... so I would have to ask the same thing? Who has 7wk puppies? I have not heard of a litter.....
