Giant Schnauzer Puppy Mill- Angel Program

This entry was posted on 8/31/2006 2:30 PM and is filed under Ethics and Integrity Matters.

A puppymill that sells Giant Schnauzers that never shows (proves their dogs physical soundness) or does health screenings on their dogs wants you to give them donations to help fund their "special dogs" for what they call their angel program. They say they give them to the handicapped (children and adults.) These people are definately not good canidates for owning the breed! I am sorry but this entire idea is very bad. This is a BIG protection breed that is way too much responsibility for a child or disabled person!

From what I gather, these are dogs they produced that are in varying degrees defective and they want money from you to help them clean up their mess. In my opinion they certainly should not be getting donations unless they are a legitimate tax exempt charity and these facts should be verifiable through the IRS. Please be careful folks.

And you know, it shocks me that people actually buy pups of mediocre quality from untested parents from a puppymill for the same price they could buy a much better dog from tested parents from a good conscientious breeder. It boggles the mind.

  FYI please note this breeder Hatten’s Giant Schnauzers : On Tuesday night after viewing Hatten’s Giant Schnauzers web site I spoke with him on the phone regarding purchasing a 3yr female or a puppy, he said the 3yr old was gone but he had a 5 ½ yr old that he would be selling after she was done with the puppies. When I told him a 5 ½ yr old was too old he began shouting and swearing and wanted to know what the difference between a 5 ½ & a 3 yr old was. Then he proceeded to tell me that he would not sell me a dog anyway because I was an asshole and then he hung up on me. I then called him back and he told me that I he was glad he didn’t sell me a dog because I was a bigger asshole for calling him back and proceeded to make a child like sound and hung up again. After this episode I was very discouraged and called Magna, I found her to be extremely compassionate, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. When I decide to make my final decision I will be making it with Magna Giant Schnauzers .
