This puppy farm has Turkish Kangals, Caucasian shepherds and rottweiler pups listed for sale online, although at the time of writing Pets4Homes has t moved them.
The dogs are kept in bare concrete runs or locked away in a narrow shed, and left alone for most of the day and all night, wallowing in their own excrement. The local council says there is no evidence of sales taking place despite adverts for their puppies all over the internet and being given links and screen shots.

Please leave negative reviews to warn potential buyers. Bonus points if you encourage anyone who has bought a puppy to contact the SSPCA

About 2 years ago I stumbled across a puppy farm local to me. The man has Rottweilers, Caucasian Shepherds and Turkish Kangals, all kept inside a narrow shed or in concrete runs. They can be heard crying and howling before the property comes into view, they look absolutely miserable.

I’ve been trying to get it shut down via the SSPCA, local council and a local MSP. To no avail.

The SSPCA say it’s a council matter and the council say, advertising puppies for sale online, all under the same business name with the same address and same property in the background is not actually evidence of sales taking place. I relayed this back to the SSPCA officer I’ve been talking to and they thought the response from the council was very odd.

My takeaway is unless I’m willing to fork up the £3000 asking price for a puppy I’ll not be able to prove that sales are taking place despite all the online activity that clearly shows that’s what is happening.

The reviews for the business are all glowing apart from 1 lady who tells of others who have bought puppies with serious health problems, I created a burner Gmail account to leave a review pleading for anyone who has bought a puppy from this business to contact the SSPCA or the council, but unfortunately the review has been pending for over 24 hours now.

The council have also obviously contacted the business as I can now only find 1 active advertisement online, which worries me incase I’ve done more harm than good.

So I am out of ideas. I’ve asked locals about the man and all I get is something along the lines of “he’s a nasty piece of work, you’re best to not get involved”

But I pass that shed every day, and it breaks my heart hearing all those dogs howl and whimper.
