Local puppy mill busted.

I have heard of this business and was surprised to see them in the news. But, any time I see a "reputable" breeder with this many breeds of dogs being bred, I think to myself oh, oh...

The irony is if you look and listen to their site you'd think they were simply the best.

Don't judge a book (site or a kennel) by its cover.

When you look at the Hunte Corporation's website you'd think they were the best until you read between the lines. Some have even been allowed membership with some of AKC's breed clubs.

This place, and most puppy mills, go for the botique or the "in" dog, this happening to be Marley lately.

This little miniature breeds are not cheap. And this place was requiring an $800 deposit per pup!

I was very glad to see the Sherriff dept take it seriously and actually send undercover agents to purchase one of the puppies after many complaints. Unfortunately, the puppy they purchased was one of the pups that died.

Authorities seized 98 dogs/pups.

Hope they spend as much time in cages as their dogs did.
