Extremely sad and thank goodness he's being shut down ! I was on his site just a few minutes ago .. I can see how people would consider this a safe facility by just checking out the site ..The only way this is going to stop is by informing the public what to look for and questions to ask ..Here is a site with great info http://www.thepuppymillproject.org/help_me_find_a_dog.html
also here is his web page ! http://www.southsidedogs.com/
I spotted red flags being a reputable breeder of ridgebacks
1 ) three large breeds ? I have a hard time keeping up with just my ridgebacks . All three breeds have different needs and the space you would have to provide for them ..
2) He's not active in any rescue groups of any of theses breeds and only belongs to AKC ..
3) puppy care ! my thoughts would be how is he able to socialize all these puppies properly ..and also finding the right homes ! When I have a litter, the time between my family life dog and puppies I'm so exhausted ...So I can't imagine having other breeds
4) Champion Bloodlines "how distend in the pedigree "
