A pedigree is not a guarantee. Even a registered purebred dog can be the product of a puppy mill.

An open letter was sent to the owner of Balihara Ranch. Now, we are publishing it for the public to see. If she can prove even one of our claims to be false, we are prepared to take down our entire website.

When a breeder earns hundreds of thousands, but still claims it’s all “for the love of the breed”… It’s time to ask: Where does love end—and where does business begin?

The website BaliharaRanch.review is not a personal attack. It’s a response to years of silence. We’ve gathered publicly available facts about the practices of Balihara Ranch kennel—and laid them out for the public to judge.

The owner of Balihara Ranch claims the dogs are her family. But when that “family” has produced nearly 3,000 puppies — generating approximately €200,000 a year — is this still love? Or just profit wrapped in a leash of sentiment?

The owner of Balihara Ranch cultivates the image of selling only to carefully vetted homes. In reality, she advertises en masse, sells through brokers, limits in-person contact and misleads buyers about why a proper visit isn’t allowed – and exports dogs without knowing who is on the receiving end. Can this still be called ethical breeding – or is it simply canine mass production?

The owner of Balihara Ranch kennel may promote it as a responsible breeder, yet the reality tells another story entirely. Puppies handed over at the gate, dogs hidden from buyers’ eyes, and dams bred over and over without rest — that is the true face of their so-called “responsible breeding.” The evidence is public. It’s there for anyone to see.

You can’t fake care. At Balihara Ranch, some females give birth up to eight times—whelping after four months, often before reaching the recommended age. Nearly 3,000 puppies have been born under the “carefully planned” breeding program overseen by the owner. Are we witnessing responsible breeding—or a relentless drive for production?

A heartwarming image meets the harsh reality of high-volume dog breeding. This investigative article pulls back the curtain on Balihara Ranch’s practices—and invites readers to question what truly lies behind the kennel’s polished image.

According to the owner of Balihara Ranch, all the dogs “live with us on the ranch.” But where do you house dozens of adult dogs—and at least 75 puppies—at once? And where do the ones go once they stop breeding?
