Jefferson, TX Border Collie Rescue

edited June 2011 in Vent
Rescently i have learned about a puppy mill out in Jefferson, TX that had ALL Border Collies which in real life is my "breed of choice". Iv been reading about it and its HORRIABLE! They filed their teeth down so they wouldn't bite while breeding. They never had baths before in their life (BCs are long haired too), most were under or over fed, BCs are working dogs with tons off energy and they were living in tiny x pens and crates, they all had wire floors so they were standing on wire 24/7, they were all fithy, covered in urine and fecies, they were overbred, had tumers and deises, some even were missing limbs, and just horriable puppy mill conditions. In total they rescued 183 dogs but 16 were dead. It is just a horriable thing. A person i know a an 8 month old puppy she adopted from a rescue over there and had him shipped over here said that when she got him he wouldn't even stand he was so scared, he would just pee on him self when he had to go to the bathroom because he was to scared to move. Now he is able to walk around a socitlize a little bit but is still very fear full. I am planning to hopefully adopt one of the puppies that transported out to near where i live. He is a tiny red tri-color and i hope to get a picture off of pet finder to show you. It just makes me sad that people can be so mean and cruel. I am glad that they were all rescued though. :cry: I litterly cried while watching videos of it. :cry:

  • I think that you wanting to adopt one of the puppies is great! I will give this warning though.<br><br>Make sure he is very well socialized! Considering that he is coming from a puppy mill who knows who his parents were. For all you know he could have been inbred and that could lead to temperament and behavioral problems. <br><br>Also, have a good vet on hand. We found a 24/7 vet and so when Clover gets sick or hurt (which is never-very rarely [KNOCK ON WOOD!]) we can avoid those nasty emergency fees. We are also able to consult with our vet by phone free of charge. Again, because he/she is coming from a puppy mill he might have serious health problems, so having a good vet is handy.<br><br>I only added this from what you told about your friend's pup. It's very sad that these places exist and I wish you all the best of luck with your (hopefully) new addition!
  • Thank you but this pup is also much younger. I am pretty sure he was in one of the two litters from the pregnate females so right now he is about 7 weeks old. I can't wait! He is the smallest of the four but i like him the best. I will definatly find a 24/7 vet and i think there is one a little while from where i live. Our vet also has border collies and does agility so that will help and also he won't be the first BC iv had.

  • Omg.. That's terrible.. Sad thing is I know where that is... I drive by there at LEAST twice a month... Its a terrible place :/
  • I personally think he's adorable Em N Em! Runt or not, he's perfect, his size will give him speed anyway, your dog emme might have a run for her money when he gets trained. xD

  • Did I tell you we bred Bully??? Before he gets too old. He's gonna be a daddy! He may not be competing anymore, but I bet one of his sons will be amazing. And you never know, I never thought any of my dogs could ever get close to being as good as Bully, but LaLa is doing amazing, she just brought in 4 thousand yesterday. When you get him you better post pictures!!
