pesh Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi All Has anyone ever sold their breeding kennels? As in, all 25 bitches, and two stud dogs, water bowls, beds, blankets, name rights etc etc etc. Come across an advert yesterday and I've never seen anything like it before. Is this the norm? Thx Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevafollo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Id say no... Id find it odd and Id also wonder if they are a registred breeder or not???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesh Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Id say no... Id find it odd and Id also wonder if they are a registred breeder or not???? What really court my eye was the $60,000 they wanted for it. That's no land, just the dogs and the rest of their gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevafollo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Wheres the add I want to have a look? Sound like puppy farmers or BYBers $60,000 is crazy but if they have that many bitches the new owners could make that back in a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesh Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was just googling dog washes, having a look see at what they have and it appeared in there somewhere. Should have kept a link to it, sorry. If I find it again shall put it up. Puppy farmer is what I was thinking, as there was no mention of showing or anything really positive. I really don't want this to turn into a hate, hate thread, was more interested in the chances of it being a true registered breeder and if this was a done thing.

dancinbcs Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Definitely puppy farmers from that description. No reputable registered breeder would talk about their dogs or breeding like that. Their own stud dogs, no mention of health testing, no mention of breed standard, breeders prefix, shows, performance, only mentioning profit and there are no dogs over 5 so obviously put them down when they can no longer produce. All hallmarks of a puppy farm business. I have never heard of any registered breeder selling the whole kennel like that. Normally they would be sold and placed individually with other breeders and in pet homes if the owner has to let them go.

LizT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Purely a business. And as a business appears to be well run and humane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 http://www.genuinecanine.com.au/ Have to say despite it being a business that all looks & sounds pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazzapug Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I know a reg breeder who sold the lot...when she got some medically bad news and couldnt leave her husband with such a burden...but the good news is she survived and has now had to start again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 In the case of a medical problem or death . . . or other mishap . . . sale of the business as a unit may be the kindest thing for the dogs. I've never come close to 25 dogs, but my dogs get pretty attached to one another. If their stimulation and exercise has come largely through interaction with other dogs, they may not immediately take to a home situation with one or no other dogs.

Ellie Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I couldn't find any mention on the website of any health testing of parents (happy to be corrected if someone else has found it) or whether they are registered breeders. $950 for a byb puppy is a lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I couldn't find any mention on the website of any health testing of parents (happy to be corrected if someone else has found it) or whether they are registered breeders. $950 for a byb puppy is a lot of money I got the strongest impression it was a business and not an interest/hobby/passion. And they appear to have lost interest in the business and are looking for a lifestyle change. Let's face it, that many dogs take a big chunck out of your life. I don't think I could do it if I didn't have it counter balanced with showing and getting together with like minded people who share their interest. And BYB abd puppy farms don't have that.
