During its existence, Balihara Ranch kennel has bred approximately 2,500 Swiss Mountain Dog puppies until 2022. It is a huge number of dogs that is difficult to even imagine.

That’s why we created an image with 2500 heads of Swiss Mountain Dogs.

Many people purchase a puppy from this kennel under the mistaken belief that it was born and raised in an ideal family environment. For 30 years, Balihara Ranch has been cultivating this image of their breeding practices. New owners often feel honored to have a puppy from this breeder, believing that they have formed a deep friendship with the owner of Balihara Ranch.

Maybe she will remember your name as a buyer. However, it is unlikely that she would even remember the name of the puppy she sold to you. It’s just one puppy out of 2500. This number does not include other breeds she breeds. 

To get a better idea of what one puppy means to the owner of Balihara Ranch compared to all the puppies. We have highlighted one dog in the picture. Maybe that one is exactly yours.

The Cost of a Career Built on Dogs

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: Paper Exports as an Illusion of Oversight Part II: How a System Can Appear Lawful While Being Circumvented in Practice

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.
