This is how one of our beautiful Afghan Hound puppies was taken care of by the people who bought her. She was 9 months old, living outside, with a small dog house that had a hole in the top and no floor, in an area with no shade. She was tethered to a stake - tangled to the point where she had about 2 feet of line. She had a horse water bucket that was filthy.. She was full of worms. Her beautiful black coat was severly matted and bleached red by the sun. When I approached her she started screaming, she was so affraid of me. This continued for about 5-10 minutes - no one came out of the house to see if she was okay. I brought her home and she enjoyed nine months of playing with her littermates and basking in the love and attention she so deserved before succumbing to a bone cancer which vets we consulted felt was most likely induced by trauma. The excuse for her cruel treatment - she was peeing in the house.
There are not enough words to express our thanks to a fellow breeder and friend, who checked on her serveral times for us and was there with us when we brought her home.
Under no circumstances will we tolerate our puppies being treated in this manner or subjected to any other form of neglect and/or abuse.
On October 19'th, Journey presented us with 1 male puppy.
Although we were hoping for more, this little boy is adorable!
