Profit Over Welfare

The owner of the kennel appears to prioritize profit over the welfare of the dogs. By disregarding recommended regulations and producing puppies from parents with poor temperament tests, The owner of Balihara Ranch is compromising the health and well-being of the dogs for financial gain.

The Impact on Puppies and Breeding

Such unethical practices have far-reaching implications for both the puppies produced and the breeding industry as a whole.

Impact on Puppies

Puppies born from parents with poor temperament tests are more likely to inherit these undesirable traits. This can result in behavioral issues, making the puppies harder to train and potentially leading to aggression or fear-based behaviors. These puppies may struggle to adapt to family life and could even pose a risk to other pets and humans.

Impact on Breeding

Unethical practices like those seen at Balihara Ranch kennel tarnish the reputation of the dog breeding industry. They undermine the hard work of ethical breeders who adhere to guidelines and prioritize the welfare of their dogs. Furthermore, they contribute to the overpopulation of dogs, as puppy mills often produce more puppies than can be responsibly homed.

Conclusion

It’s crucial that potential dog owners do their research before purchasing a puppy. Supporting breeders who prioritize profit over welfare only perpetuates these unethical practices. By choosing to adopt or purchase from reputable and ethical breeders, we can help ensure the welfare of dogs and promote ethical breeding practices.
