Hazelbaker Papillons Rescue Effort

I can happily tell you that all Papillons where saved today.
Here a couple of snippets of the FB information.

The actual team which did the bidding, and picking up the dogs to drive them to  our 2 biggest Papillon rescue organizations in the US.

Following a statement from people who where involved.

These Paps were living in a one car garage in wire cages. They did not have beds to sleep in and did not have toys. They were all dirty and urine soaked. The placed smelled so bad it made your eyes water and lungs tighten. It should fill the hearts of everyone whom donated and helped in this rescue to know that all of them are going to be Vet checked, spayed/neutered and placed in forever loving homes!

Hazelbaker Papillons Rescue Effort

On December 7,2014 there will be an auction of Papillons from a breeder in Blanchard, Oklahoma. This is the Hazelbaker Papillons. One of these older dogs now almost 11 years old. Was a papillon I sold her in 2005. At that time she was showing papillons. 
I am asking for help from everyone to save not only mine but the 39 or so papillons. Many adults and about 16 puppies. They are being sent to an auction which is run by a dog sale auction house.  These papillons will most likely be bid on by the commercial breeders and what some call puppy mills. Many these are females and are AKC registered which makes them very desirable to the commercial market. Many papillon breeders and lovers and papillon rescues are giving their time and homes to these paps.  What we need are the funds to outbid the commercial breeders to give these Papillons the forever homes they deserve.  No Papillon or any breed of dog should have to live their lives as a breeding animal all its life.
Please help. No matter how small of a donation ,every dollar counts towards the safety of these beautiful babies.
Will be setting up a facebook page to go to for ongoing information
Thank You for your donation
Lorelei and and all the Papillon Lovers

Now look at this wonderful website/ blog:

And now read this copied section of the Humane Society report about this particular kennel:

WY
Sharon Curless/ Ruff Pine Kennel – Pine Bluffs, WY: STILL HORRIBLE. At a follow-up inspection in August 2013,
USDA inspectors noted that four dogs had been euthanized after issues were pointed out during the previous
inspection. This is not a violation of USDA regulations but it gives HSUS researchers continuing cause for
concern. In April 2014, Curless cancelled her USDA license, but Ruff Pine Kennel still offers puppies for sale
online via ruffpinekennel.com/. Former USDA #83-A-0031.

Here another one out of the report:
CA
Jenny Um/ Best Kennel – Littlerock, CA: STILL HORRIBLE. Although her USDA license (# 93-A-0234) was
cancelled and her former website is down, Um is still offering large numbers of puppies for sale under the name
Fancy Puppies. Um sells on websites such as puppyfind.com and fancypuppy.net. As another indication that she
is still selling puppies, a buyer contacted The HSUS in October 2013 to report that she had purchased a sick
puppy from the kennel and witnessed poor conditions, but the complainant did not follow up when asked for
further information.

Conclusion:

• Do your research.
• Visit the breeder's facility , or have someone look the breeder up for you.
• Do not let the breeder talk you into bringing the dog to be purchased down the road for you.
• Have a look at other dogs at the premises, see how they are kept.
• Get the history of the dog of interest.  
• If a puppy, ask to see the parents. Observe their health, and behavior.
• Ask about the grandparents, or at least get to see some photos of them.
