Witch Hunt or Exposing the Truth? The Balihara Ranch Case

by | Jan 30, 2025

When the Truth Becomes Inconvenient, Threats Begin

Imagine being accused of fraud. You have two options: either present evidence proving it’s false, or start filing lawsuits, throwing accusations, and trying to silence critics. Which option would an innocent person choose?

In recent days, we have seen an interesting development – our website is being labeled as fraudulent, we are being threatened with legal action, and we have even received an anonymous message urging us to “step out of the shadows.” Coincidence? We don’t think so.

The owner of Balihara Ranch has publicly stated that she has filed a criminal complaint against an unknown perpetrator. According to multiple sources, she has a long history of threatening lawsuits against anyone who expresses an opinion about her or her breeding practices. She has also publicly labeled our website as fraudulent, yet has not provided any specific evidence to counter the claims made here. Instead of answering concrete questions, we see attempts to suppress those who publish information.

If the facts on our website were false, it would be easy to disprove them with evidence. Instead, we see threats, anonymous messages, and attempts to remove inconvenient information.

An Anonymous Message Urging Us to Reveal Our Identity?

We received an anonymous message urging us to “step out of the shadows,” claiming that otherwise, this is just a witch hunt.

Curiously, the wording of this anonymous message is strikingly similar to comments posted by the owner of Balihara Ranch on Facebook. Could it be a coincidence? Or is someone trying to corner us?

It is paradoxical that an anonymous sender is demanding that we stop being anonymous.

However, we are not hiding out of fear – we are protecting the functionality of this website because we know that there are active efforts to silence us.

Who Runs This Website?

The More Important Question Is Whether the Information Is True.

We understand that people are curious about who runs this website. However, we are merely mediators of information, gathering it from reliable sources such as the Slovak Swiss Mountain Dog Club website, breeding databases, and public statements made by the breeder.

The most valuable source, however, is the information we receive directly from people – submitted through forms on our website, sometimes signed, sometimes anonymous.

There are people who are not indifferent and want the truth to come to light. Many of them even sign their names (even though they could remain anonymous) and simply ask us to keep their identity confidential.

People sign their names because they trust us never to reveal their identity. And we will never betray that trust.

If certain information keeps repeating, we verify it and connect the dots. Whenever possible, we cite our sources. We do not fabricate facts – we simply piece them together, and the results speak for themselves.

So the question of who is behind this website is not as important as whether the information on it is true.

What We Have Learned About Balihara Ranch

To date, we have received only negative information about the breeding practices at Balihara Ranch. Many of these reports come from sources that have not been publicly shared before.

While the breeder thanks her “supporters” online, none of them have reached out to us to dispute the facts we have presented.

We would be more than happy if someone could prove that any of the information on our website is false. If that were the case, we would gladly correct or remove it. Because that would mean less suffering dogs.

Digital Footprints That Cannot Be Erased

The owner of Balihara Ranch is reportedly trying to erase her tracks, just like someone trying to sweep bloodstains in the snow. She can cover them, but the marks underneath remain.

The truth cannot be erased.

A Dog Is Not a Puppy-Producing Machine

Breeding females at Balihara Ranch have up to 8 litters in their lifetime. Some are bred again just a few months after giving birth, while others are impregnated at an age that is either too young or too old.

Puppies bred for rapid sale often do not receive proper socialization and care during the critical first weeks of life. Their well-being does not seem to be the priority – only their sale.

This is not love for dogs. This is a production system where profit takes precedence over animal welfare.

And we will fight to change it.

If you have any information or experiences you’d like to share, you can submit them anonymously through the form on our website.

Dogs cannot speak for themselves. But we can.

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.
