HuskyMom09 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 There was a child that was taken into protective custody at the same bust...something must have gone terribly wrong in this person's life. So very very sad...I'm wondering if this could have been the same kennel I saw on facebook for sale a number of months ago, I know that it was a WI kennel but not sure if they are in any way related.

HuskyCouture Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Unfortunately this happened about 4 hours from me. They were a very well known breeder in this area. They did dog showing and sledding. A lot of now very reputable breeders got their starter dogs from them. It's very surprising since everyone thought they were reputable. They do health testing and all dogs are papered.. We sent in a foster application, so if they let us we'll be helping with the huskies.

Sarah Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 what!! McGee said Smidt likely will not be arrested, but charges of animal neglect will be forwarded to the Fond du Lac County District Attorney’s Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 We all know what the financial times are. What's better trying to do something or just taking everything out and shooting them as one sledder did? Things coulsn't have been that bad for the animals - though may of the goats do look skinny - if the Sibes had gotten too hungry there wouldn't have been any chickens left.

Removed #1 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm completely shocked. Like...wow. As Jenet said these guys were supposed to be reputable breeders. Their website has been taken down...and well yeah. Wow. I'm pretty speechless. I hope that whatever trials they're going through they manage. I can't really say anything else...I just don't have the words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Melsom Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Ye Ive heard of them being very reputable but my guess is they fell on hard time financially or something very sad to hear that all of that is happening to them and the animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
