The harsh reality behind the scenes of the pictures published from Balihara Ranch kennel

by | Jul 25, 2024

In the world of dog breeding, there are those who prioritize the welfare of their animals, and then there are those who prioritize profit over the well-being of these innocent creatures. Today, we turn our attention to a kennel that has been raising eyebrows and concerns among animal lovers – the Balihara Ranch kennel.

A Picture-Perfect Illusion

On the surface, the owner of Balihara Ranch paints a picture of idyllic life for her dogs. Images of dogs frolicking in meadows are shared, creating an illusion of freedom and happiness. However, a deeper look into the practices at Balihara Ranch reveals a starkly different reality.

The Harsh Reality Behind the Scenes

Balihara Ranch kennel is home to around 70 adult dogs, not to mention dozens and dozens of puppies. Many of the bitches are in heat, pregnant, or nursing. The sheer number of dogs raises questions about the quality of care and attention each dog receives. It’s hard to imagine that each dog gets the individual care, socialization, and exercise it needs to lead a healthy and happy life.

It makes sense that the dogs must be locked in pens, and their freedom is severely restricted. Even if they were allowed into an enclosure like the one depicted in Balihara Ranch’s photos for a few minutes each day, it’s a far cry from the free and fulfilling life that every dog deserves.

It’s clear that Balihara Ranch is misleading people by owning around 70 adult dogs, yet only displaying a photo of 6 dogs in a field. One can’t help but wonder why it doesn’t share images of the rest of the dogs. It’s disheartening to see that it has to rotate them in groups just to give them a brief respite from their pens. Or is it just doing it for a nice image on social media?

The Reality Behind the Picture

The picture the owner of Balihara Ranch shared of dogs running freely in a meadow paints a beautiful scene. However, when we consider the sheer number of dogs at the Balihara Ranch kennel, this image becomes questionable. With around 70 adult dogs and dozens of puppies, it’s hard to believe that each dog gets the opportunity to run freely in a meadow on a regular basis.

Why is this unlikely? Let’s break it down

  1. Time and Space Constraints: Given the number of dogs, each would need to be let out individually or in small groups to avoid conflicts and ensure safety. This would require a significant amount of time and effort, which seems improbable given the number of dogs in the Balihara Ranch kennel.
  2. Care and Supervision: Allowing dogs to run freely requires constant supervision to prevent fights, injuries, and potential escape attempts. With the number of dogs at Balihara Ranch, providing adequate supervision during these free-roaming sessions would be a daunting task.
  3. Contradictory Evidence: The reports of dogs being locked in pens contradict the image of freedom portrayed by the picture. It’s hard to reconcile the image of dogs running freely with the reported reality of dogs living in confined spaces.

In conclusion, while the picture of dogs running in the meadow may be visually appealing, it’s important to question its authenticity. It’s crucial to look beyond the surface and consider whether such a scenario is realistically possible given the conditions and practices at Balihara Ranch kennel. We must not let such images distract us from the pressing issues of animal welfare and ethical breeding practices.

The Need for Ethical Breeding Practices

Ethical breeding practices are not just about the physical well-being of the dogs. It’s also about their mental and emotional health. Dogs are social animals that thrive on interaction and exercise. They need space to run and play, and they need companionship – both from other dogs and from humans. They need stimulation and training to keep their minds sharp. The conditions described at Balihara Ranch kennel fall short of these standards.

A Call to Action

We must hold breeders accountable for the welfare of the animals in their care. We must demand transparency and adherence to ethical breeding practices. We must not let breeders like Balihara Ranch continue to profit at the expense of the dogs’ well-being.

The information available at balihararanch.review is a step in the right direction, shedding light on the conditions at Balihara Ranch kennel. However, it’s up to us – the consumers and dog lovers – to take action. We must make informed decisions about where we get our pets and support breeders who prioritize the health and happiness of their dogs above all else.

Let’s stand together for the welfare of all dogs and work towards a world where every dog gets the love, care, and respect it deserves.

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.
