Madonna von der Drei Sonnenseen was sold to me from Gina Kasbergen of Kerschberger Kennels in New Mexico as a "Proven" bitch having had produced Bonita vom Kerschberger. Madonna is full sister to Mercedes vom Drei Sonnenseen a.K.A. Casey who is still used in Ms. Kasbergens breeding program. Bonita will be joining her program soon.
Madonna had a litter of 7 puppies with me. After 2 days of nursing this Healthy litter she ripped apart her puppies limb by limb as the puppies Screamed Bloody Murder in a Cannibalist fashion of sheer Terror and Torture. This psychotic dog did not even kill the pups one by one and eat them but rather she ripped apart one of their limbs and let it lay there screaming in pain as she went on to begin her "Torturous Feast" on the next puppy.
One of my staff had walked in on this Horrific undertaking to find 7 puppies totally Dismembered. She came running out to the kennel as pale as a ghost to find me and as she attempted to tell me what Madonna had done she began to projectile vomit.
I couldn't belief what I was hearing from her. I grabbed her by the arm and said "Let's go; maybe we can save some!" Full speed we flew across our property to the Nursery where Madonna was with her litter. There she lay, in her glorious whelping box as calm as could be, happy as a clam devouring her pups bit by bit as they were Bleeding and Screaming in misery. The screaming did not faze her at all. She just continued nibbling pieces off the babies at random! We were too late, none could be saved.
The next day Madonna was paying a lot of attention to her private area. I suspected that she might be having another pup. We tried to keep a close watch on her all day and about 6 hours into the day I checked the nursery moniter again only to find Madonna with another healthy pup. As I stood there watching her on the moniter she was cleaning and licking the pup. The pup was making the usual delightful sounds of a newborn pup being groomed by its mother. It appeared nice and healthy.
All of a sudden Madonna bit into the pup and chomped off it's rear leg. The Pup Screamed in agony as Madonna ate its leg. She then bit off another leg. The Pup was Still Alive! And I immediately threw up!
In All My Years as a Breeder I have Never seen such an event take place!
It is my belief that Madonna's previous litter which produced Bonita vom Kerschberger AKC #DN02842905 whose Sire is Nolte v.D. Wienerau A.K.C. #DN02832201 was actually a similiar circumstance.
Gina Kasbergen states that she was the only pup. I believe that she is the only pup That Survived! And that just like what happened to me, the last pup was discovered via xray and then it was removed from Madonna. Another reason I believe this is that someone left a message on my phone stating that Madonna did have more that 1 pup in Bonitas litter. They didn't leave their name and the call was blocked.
I also later found out that Madonna had Viciously Attacked and Killed a white dog named originally named Butch that Gina Kasbergen had adopted at a shelter. This fact had Never Been Disclosed to me! Gina said that she was selling Madonna because she had her full sister Mercedes (aka Casey) in her breeding program as well as Madonna's puppy Bonita vom Kerschbereger.
That made sense to me. I trusted Gina. I insisted that Madonna be hip & elbow xrayed (at my expense of course) before I would fully commit to purchasing her. That was done and once she passed I agreed to have her shipped here (at my expense). At any time could Gina have been honest with me and told me the truth about Madonna's Seriously Flawed Genetics. She Chose Not To!
At any time during the month and a half she could have disclosed the Truth. She Chose Not To!
Shortly there after I sold Madonna to a family with no small animals or small children with a Strict Non-Negotiable Spay Agreement.
I have spoken with numerous Vets all of which said this Serious Genetic Flaw in Madonna should not be allowed to continue! Her offspring (Bonita vom Kerschberger) should be immediately Spayed so that this Cannibalism Gene can NOT be continued. They also have stated that any siblings of Madonna (such as Mercedes) not be allowed to be bred. Sadly enough, Gina continues breeding these lines.
Mercedes von drei Sonnenseen has 2 pups available now named Eiko vom Kerschberger & Elsie vom Kerschberger born 7.03.05. There were a minimum of 4 pups in that litter. Only Gina knows what happened to them. Perhaps they were sold, perhaps they also were devoured by their mother. Regardless, The Cannibalism Needs to Stop! This Breeder has no Ethics! She has no Conscience! She Needs To Be Stopped! If you have any information regarding any of these dogs or had any other dealings with Kerschberger Kennels please Post a response on this Site.
