Lack of Variability and Numerous Repeated Breedings at Balihara Ranch

by | Jun 6, 2024

In the world of dog breeding, there are those who prioritize the welfare of the animals and those who prioritize profit. Unfortunately, it appears that Balihara Ranch kennel falls into the latter category.

Profit Over Compassion

It is undeniable that the primary motivation behind Balihara Ranch kennel is profit. A profit that is sadly built on the suffering of innocent canine souls. The evidence is clear in the breeding practices employed by the kennel.

Lack of Variability and Gene Pool Expansion

What’s more, the owner of Balihara Ranch has shown a complete disregard for the importance of variability and expansion of the gene pool. She has unethically mated females eight times in their lives without any apparent regret, and what’s worse, it was with the same dog.

Repeated Breeding: A Tale of Appenzeller Kataleya from Balihara Ranch and Entlebucher Fantasy iz Blagorodnoho doma

Take, for example, the case of Kataleya from Balihara Ranch. This poor creature was bred to the same dog, Splendid Three Color Benelux, not once, not twice, but a staggering eight times. Similarly, Fantasy iz Blagorodnoho doma was bred to Bart from Wealth Island, among other examples that are equally shocking.

Short Breaks Between Litters

Adding to the list of unethical practices is the short breaks between litters. The females at Balihara Ranch kennel are subjected to multiple pregnancies without recommended pause for recovery. This relentless breeding cycle puts a tremendous strain on their bodies and can lead to serious health complications.

Lack of Variability and Gene Pool Expansion: The Consequences

The practice of repeatedly using the same male dog for breeding and repeating the same litters has serious implications. This approach severely limits the genetic diversity within the breed, which can have a number of negative effects.

Genetic Disorders

When the same dogs are used for breeding over and over again, the risk of passing on genetic disorders and diseases increases significantly. This is because the puppies inherit a limited set of genes from their parents. If these genes carry any disorders, the likelihood of the puppies developing these conditions is much higher.

Ethical Considerations

From an ethical standpoint, the practice of repeatedly using the same dogs for breeding is highly questionable. It shows a disregard for the health and well-being of the animals, focusing instead on profit. It’s important to remember that dogs are not commodities, but sentient beings deserving of respect and care.

In conclusion, the lack of variability and gene pool expansion at Balihara Ranch kennel is not just an unethical practice, but one that could have serious consequences for the health and future of the dogs involved. It’s a practice that needs to be challenged and changed for the betterment of all dogs.

A Dog Factory in Disguise?

So, we ask – what’s the difference between Balihara Ranch and a regular dog factory? The answer is simple: there is almost none. Both entities are driven by the same insatiable desire for profit, with little regard for the well-being of the dogs they exploit.

In conclusion, it is our responsibility as animal lovers and advocates to raise awareness about these unethical practices and to demand better for our four-legged friends. They deserve nothing less.

When Numbers Start Calling the Shots: The Economics Turning Breeding Into a Production Model (Part I)

When breeding is driven by numbers, its underlying logic shifts. Available data on Balihara Ranch indicate repeated use of the same sire–dam combinations, yielding dozens of puppies from the same pair. This article examines where responsible breeding selection ends and a production model begins—and why, without firm guardrails, the system naturally steers breeders toward volume over thoughtful selection.

A New Year’s Wish – If Dogs Could Speak

As we enter the New Year, our wish is not for more, but for less. Fewer litters and fewer dogs where breeding has become an industry. Less silence around large commercial breeding operations. Because not everything that is legal is also right—and dogs have no way to say so out loud.

The Cost of a Career Built on Dogs

When dog breeding becomes the primary source of income and identity, stepping back without losses becomes impossible. A large commercial breeding operation like Balihara Ranch requires constant escalation, the concealment of reality, and the defense of a system that can no longer be acknowledged as problematic. This is not an individual failure, but the logical outcome of a career built exclusively on dogs.

The Qaiser van’t Stokerybos case shows how easily exports in dog breeding can be used not for cooperation between breeders, but to bypass the rules. A dog may be officially registered abroad while being physically used to breed females elsewhere—without the system addressing that contradiction.
