Frauds due to greed: The owner of Balihara Ranch also trades Norfolk Terriers on a large scale

by | Aug 8, 2024

The unethical breeding practices of Balihara Ranch kennel have long been a topic of concern. Her actions have raised other significant ethical questions. This article delves into the disturbing practices observed at this kennel, focusing on the exploitation of Swiss Mountain Dogs and Norfolk Terriers.

Exploitation of Swiss Mountain Dogs

As previously highlighted, the Balihara Ranch owner’s unethical breeding practices are not limited to just four breeds of Swiss Mountain Dogs. The exploitation extends to other breeds, revealing a pattern of greed and disregard for animal welfare.

Norfolk Terriers: A Case of Greed and Neglect

Upon visiting the Slovak Terrier Club’s website, where studbooks are posted, it was discovered that the owner of Balihara Ranch had at least 17 Norfolk Terrier females from 2011 to 2023. Similar to the Swiss Mountain Dogs, these females were overbred, and often mated without the necessary rest periods, sometimes even during consecutive heat cycles. The sheer number of Norfolk Terrier puppies bred will be detailed in a future post. This small breed has also fallen victim to her relentless pursuit of profit, showcasing her blatant greed and lack of empathy for dogs.

It is important to note the fact that the studbook does not list the number of male Norfolk Terriers that she owns. So the number of dogs of this breed that she owns is still certainly much higher.

Uncovering the Deception of the Balihara Ranch Owner

Our investigation into the practices of the Balihara Ranch owner revealed a disturbing fraud. By searching for information about her, we found that her name and contact details, including her email and phone number, had long been displayed in advertisements for the sale of Norfolk Terrier puppies. Intriguingly, these puppies were listed as being bred at another kennel, Mara’s Home, a clear attempt to obscure the fact that they were actually bred and sold by the owner of Balihara Ranch. This deception continued until 2022, as evidenced by an advertisement dated March 19, 2022, on the website cz-pes.cz.

Evidence of Deception

A picture of a famous white box, regularly used by the owner of Balihara Ranch to take photos of her Swiss Mountain Dog puppies, further confirmed that the Norfolk Terrier puppies came from the same household. In October, she posted on her private Facebook profile, announcing the first litter of Norfolk Terriers bred under her name.

A comment on this post from a confused puppy owner, who had previously bought a puppy directly from Balihara Ranch, further highlighted the deceptive practices.

Conclusion

The owner of Balihara Ranch in question is not only guilty of abusing dogs for financial gain but also of devising elaborate schemes to cover up these actions through deceit. Unsuspecting buyers, misled into believing they are purchasing puppies from a small, ethical kennel, are in fact supporting one of the largest pedigree puppy factories in the world. This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of thorough research and vigilance when purchasing a puppy, to ensure that one does not inadvertently support unethical breeding practices.

The Cost of a Career Built on Dogs

by | Dec 18, 2025

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.
