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 the Same Pairings Are Repeated to Exhaustion: What the Numbers Reveal About Breeding at Balihara Ranch

Publicly available records through 2023 show that at Balihara Ranch, identical parental combinations were repeated as many as four, six, or even eight times, producing dozens of puppies from a single pairing. Such a degree of repetition is not standard in conventional breeding practice and raises questions about where selective breeding ends and systematic multiplication begins.

In the first part, we showed where the system fails in the field — in limits, inspections, and exports. This second part uncovers something even more serious: club-level exceptions, conflicts of interest, and lax oversight by the Slovak Cynological Union (SKJ), all of which have allowed kennels like Balihara Ranch to grow to a scale that today’s mechanisms can no longer effectively regulate.

When the System Stops Protecting Dogs:The Blind Spots in the FCI System and Breed Clubs That Enable Extreme-Scale Breeding (Part I)

Current rules of the FCI and breed clubs contain fundamental blind spots: no limits on litters, no meaningful welfare inspections and weak oversight of exports. These gaps create the conditions in which extreme-scale kennels can thrive. And the only way to stop them is to change the system itself — not to address individual cases, such as the Balihara Ranch kennel, only after they grow beyond what today’s club and legislative mechanisms are capable of handling.
