The owners of Wild Wind Kennels in Donnybrook, ND are a bunch of crooks! They claim to be legitimate dog breeders but they are a puppy mill. I bought a little male boxer puppy from them in July and he was sick from the day I brought him home. He had a displaced pad on his back foot.
My vet informed me that it was something that developed from birth and it would have to be surgically removed when he got older. He also had a terrible ear infection and kennel cough from the disgusting conditions of their facilities.
As he got older (about 5 months) I noticed that he was getting lock jaw and having problems eating. I later found out from my Vet that he had a displaced jaw. This is a genetic problem found within poorly bred dogs and it is unfixable! It would have cost me $7,000 to align his jaw and there would have been no guarantee that it would have worked.
A few months later, I had to put my puupy to sleep. At 9 MONTHS, my puppy's kidneys failed! I took him to two different vets and both of them were shocked at what they saw. They had never seen kidney failure in a dog so young. They both attributed it to genetics and poor breeding.
My puupy became sick on December 26th and I had to put him to sleep on December 29th. His body completely deteriorated in 3 days! Putting hin to sleep was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I still cry when I think about him or see pictures of him. His death completely devastated me.
The owners of Wild Wind Kennels are horrible people. Throughout my problems with my puppy I have come across several other families who have purchased dogs from them and suffered a similar loss. The say on their website that they refuse to sell to pet stores... That's crap. They CANNOT find a pet store near them that will buy from them. One particular pet store in Minot (A near by city) absolutely refuses to do business with them. The owner has also caught them trying to buy left over AKC registration papers from their store. They take these papers from other litters and sell them with their litters.
This way they can claim that their dogs are AKC registered when they are not. These so called "breeders" have also been sued several times by previous customers. Many of the cases involved death and/or illness of animals that individuals have bought from them. The owners of Wild Wind Kennels have been sued SO MANY times that the court clerks at the Ward County court house in Minot, ND know exactly who these people are.
I am exhausted all areas trying to stop these people. I have contacted the American Kennel Club, the Humane Society, the state USDA department, and even law enforcement. There is nothing I can do to stop these horiible people! The loss of my puupy was traumatic for me. I want others to know about the reputation of these so called "breeders".
They are a puppy mill! They only care about making a profit and not the health of their animals. I just hope that my situation doesn't happen to anyone else!
