Re: BURNS MY *** here is the kennel I went too

So I dropped my dogs off to a starting pen that I seemed pretty legit... They were nice had good facilities and had some pretty well known hounds.. The day before I drop them off I say, I just bathed them with flea and tick shampoo, wormed them, ivomeced them, had their rabies shots and the kennel cough shot.. I tell her I have not put on frontline (termidor) because your supposed to wait till the dogs are dried off. She says, thats ok we have some here and you won't need to bring yours..

My fiance picks my dogs up three weeks later and calls me CRYING HYSTERICALLY that our dogs need a vet ASAP and are covered in ticks and infections... I said calm down how bad can it be... When she got home I looked at the dogs and I am not exaggerating one bit when I say there were over 300 ticks or more on each dog and they had em in their eyes so bad one dog couldn't even see!!! they had 25 each or more on their anus and so many on their ears you could not HONEST TO GOD FEEL EAR..

The guy told my fiance that they called vet and the vet said, "do not put frontline on them because they would over dose if i gave them some".. BULLS*** So instead the day before i get there they dump GALLONS of 7 dust on my dogs and kill the ticks (most of them) but leave the things on the dogs. Keep in mind these are both SHOW QUALITY HOUNDS and both parents are GRCH and nearly GRHBCH.. I callled him up and he gives me this line about working with these dogs more than in all his 30+ years of rabbit hunting and offers to send my money back if I promised not to sue him or call animal control.. I took pics and had my vet write a report on it anyways.. UNFRIGGIN EXCUSABLE!! The pic you see is after TWO BATHS and a combing--- the ticks fell off for days.. both of them are healing but are missing huge chunks of hair and are going to be ruined from the bench in all likelihood. Had to give them antibiotics because one of the dogs had a fever and my vet thought it was all the ticks overwhelming his system.. NO DOG SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS.. AT LEAST CALL AND SAY HEY BRING OVER THE FRIGGEN MEDICINE IF YOU DIDNT WANNA COVER THE 5 DANG BUCKS!

Whats his name? let people know, so maybe their dogs wont end up like this. This is nothing but pure laziness. The man shouldn't be running dogs for people, if he can't take care of them. I bet his own personal dogs didn't look like that.

WOW i feel bad for them pups, as i have read plenty of your post and know you will take good care of this issue im sure they will turn out good. Once the animal control officer is done with his, i would go after him for vet bills, and any other thing you can pin to is lazy a$$. its people like that, that get HSUS and PETA involved and harm our lively hood, and for that reason and for the sake of any other dog that may end up with them you should get him fried in every way possible.

I agree, we all need to think about the repurcussions of our actions. There's always somebody out there and not just the HSUS or PETA waiting to make us pay for our slip ups or wrongs.

here is the website of the place I went.. Animal control basically said they weren't doing anything yet and its up to the prosecutor.. so in order to make sure this don't happen to anyone else I am gonna post this. I hate doing it because I think beaglers need to stick together and maybe this was a one time incident but once is TOO MUCH

Ticks are a reality this time of year. I use frontline and primetherin spray and tick dust and still remove lots of ticks. If you run your dog all night 2or3 nights a week as I do you must deal with ticks. At least you know the Guy was running your pups. I have to pull all the ticks off me before my wife will let me in the house. Just one of the challenges of running dogs i n the south. In the summer. Kill the ticks...leave the authorities out of it and move on.

If you run dogs any length of time this time of year then ticks are a never ending battle. Every dog I have sent to a starting pen looked kinda of poor when I got them back but they were started. Fed them up for a couple weeks and they were ready to go. Would you rather him turn them in the pen for a couople hours then give them a bath and put them back in the kennel ? In everyones mind no one takes as good of care of a dog as the owner. Maybe you should wait and start them in the winter when tere are no ticks or maybe start them yourself.

I don't know how anyone of you guys are justifying Clayton kennels! This to would "tick"(

) me off!!! I'm sure its a battle in the south with the whole tick thing, but he didn't do to much as far as a warning and or preventative to help this guys dogs out! When in fact he's dogs were taken care of in a different matter.And I'm about positive any of you will not be visiting this facility after this thread! So before anyone gets macho houndsmen on here , this particular event was rather wrong!

Beagler, good luck with your hounds! And as far as the bench goes I thought the hounds battle scars where over looked as there a working dog?
