The Shocking Truth About Balihara Ranch Kennel: Probable Dog Trafficking and Unethical Practices, PART II

by | Jan 16, 2025

Balihara Ranch was once thought to be a safe haven for dogs. However, the truth lurking beneath its facade is far more sinister. Unlike ethical breeders, who ensure female dogs have only only 3–4 litters in their lifetime, with mandatory breaks between heats, Balihara Ranch’s practices reveal a stark contrast:

  • Inadequate owner screening: There’s little to no verification to ensure that the dogs are going to responsible and loving homes.
  • Lack of contracts and oversight: After the sale, there is no follow-up to guarantee the dogs are being treated well.
  • Repeated breeding without rest: Female dogs are bred continuously, leading to severe physical and psychological exhaustion.

A Plea to Dog Owners

We urge individuals who bought puppies from Balihara Ranch through intermediaries to come forward.

Context is Crucial

While some cases may not seem shocking on their own, they must be viewed in the context of all the information we have gathered so far.

Lack of Regulation and Oversight

The absence of government or regulatory oversight, including cynological organizations and breeders’ clubs, allows breeders like those at Balihara Ranch to exploit loopholes in existing regulations, to the detriment of the animals.

Health Impact on Dogs

Unethical breeding practices lead to serious health issues for dogs. Continuous breeding without adequate rest results in both physical and psychological exhaustion, causing long-term health problems.

Potential Puppy Mill Connections

Potential links between Balihara Ranch and known puppy mills need to be investigated. These operations have a devastating impact on the welfare of dogs.

Public Awareness and Deceptive Practices

People are often misled by unethical breeders. It is crucial to identify reputable breeders and protect oneself from deceptive practices.

A Call for Change: What Can We Do?

Although we have not yet disclosed all the evidence of dog trafficking occurring at Balihara Ranch, the data revealed so far is alarming enough to call for change. Each of us can contribute to protecting animals:

  1. Support transparent breeders: Verify the dog’s origin, contractual conditions, and the transparency of the sale.
  2. Advocate for regulation: Authorities should scrutinize breeders and enforce strict breeding and sale regulations.
  3. Stay informed: Follow new revelations and be an active part of the effort to protect animals.

The situation at Balihara Ranch appears deeply troubling and unacceptable. All animal lovers must unite to demand change. Stay informed and be part of the movement to protect our furry friends.
