Ugh... I just drove six hours yesterday to go and get my friend and Texas a puppy from another Border Collie breeder. I didnt get to see much of anything because it was so pitch black but I should have know better when I got there. This guy was a ****ing puppy mill.
1. His dogs were locked up in small kennels with 2 dogs in each cage.
2. The cages were disgusting and as soon as you pulled up you could smell ****.
3. He had like 5 litters of NEW BORN puppies in his TRAILER with five other full grown Border Collies.
4. He kept on trying to sell me a dog.
5. He also kept on trying to make me breed my Lyrik with one of his dogs.
So what was wrong with the puppy you wonder.... Well...
She's covered in ticks. I've taken her to the groomer and they cant even get them off of her. I tried bathing her myself last night and got about only 14 off of her. I just came back from the groomer like two hours ago and I sat there pulling ticks off of the poor girl. I've pulled off atleast 100+. We've also put some K9 Advantix on her. She'll be going to the vet tomorrow.
She's got some serious eye drainage coming from her eyes. Which this has me like seriously worried about her but I'll just have to see what the vet says.
Alot of people are questioning if she's even a pure Border Collie. I've compared her to some of my pictures when my babies were 14 weeks old. They look nothing alike if you ask me.
When I looked at her pedigee eariler I noticed that the parents were registered one number away from each other. So I'm thinking that she could be inbred. With further research I have found that her breeders has been banned from the ABCA.
Hopefully it doesnt get anyworse for this little girl. =/
