Who are the puppies of the East "?
They are real victims of a traffic that continues unpunished (and even legalized) for several years: that is, when it was discovered that imported puppies from Hungary, Romania and other countries 'poor', despite travel costs, cost even less than buying from the "awnings" Italians.
accounts, unfortunately, are made soon, a "breeder" Italian commercial, or one who looks at the volume production without the slightest care of that quality sells a puppy around 250-300 €.
A "canificio" Eastern sells an average of 100 €, which plus about 50 € for travel expenses (usually on overcrowded trucks, so the real expenditure is divided by the number - the highest - to "victims" transported).
The importer-wholesaler can then rely on a higher charge, and does not care
absolutely NOTHING if it involves buying sick puppies.
Why sick?
Simple: because having to get into the store before the 40-45 days (the age at which they are more "attractive" for the client) these puppies are taken away from his mother about 35 days, when their immune system does not have enough defenses even to deal with a "normal" life. But they do not face a life normal, but a journey that will be considered exactly as "commodity" means little food and little (or nothing) water - even if it's August; closely with other puppies from other kennels, and then bring with them germs and bacteria of other kennels. The immune system, as incomplete, in part fail to cover the attacks of germs at home, partly because some of immunity is usually transmitted from the mother, but against those outside, the puppy has very few defenses and ... debilitating travel in inhumane conditions does the rest.
Obviously none of these puppies has never been wormed (the wormer costs, kidding), let alone vaccinated (apart from the speech Economically, the vaccine at that age serves no useful purpose at all).
The result is that many puppies have died during the journey ... but it is a "gap" that does not affect much on the revenue, and then you can ignore.
The survivors arrive in shop windows (or in shelters of pseudoallevamenti) in a pitiful state, but are immediately "bomb" by dint of gamma globulin and other palliatives that will keep them alive and lively decently until the chicken comes on duty, or the 'unsuspecting buyer that if he brings home convinced he had made a deal.
The typical sentence that he will report to friends is: "I'm not fooled by the farmers left, that asked me 1000 euro! I took the puppy to the store and I paid 800 euro! Ah ha! ".
on costs and revenues" real "good husbandry we wrote in the June issue: 1 000 € required on a breeder earns yes and no 200.
On eight hundred required by the seller (or the pseudoallevatore) the net gain is about 600 €.
The difference is that the breeder we will deliver a healthy puppy, typical, selected and bred with love, well cared for and vaccinated svermato.
... In store bought a lottery that has very strong ability to die there in the arms within the first fifteen days.
In fact, over the effect of gamma globulin (and in some cases of administered exciting to bring the dog healthy and active), the first virus that goes around will find in our miserable and debilitated puppy a perfect host.
but we can be compensated?
Certainly not, because we will have the dealer put the famous "guarantee" of 24-48 hours, we will naively signed. So we will be happy
cage. In the world of
cinofilia you hear little or nothing about the other: almost all aspiring masters-of-puppy arriving on the farm have one of these sad stories behind them.
In several cases, of course, the puppy is not dead, maybe it was bad and have been spending hundreds of euro to treat him, but in the end it came out more or less alive and healthy ... and maybe the owner has tried to take it on display.
And here was the second surprise: the dog is not typical, does not go beyond the status of "Good Enough" (which translated from cinofilese means "stay at home is best), and in some cases not even belong to the race promise !
E 'a few days ago a letter from a lady who paid good cifretta for a Maltese ... and found to have actually a Bolognese or so she thinks.
In reality it is very likely that the dog (I have not seen) is a cheerful white mutt with curly hair.
Obviously nobody has nothing against mongrels (I have personally one, and woe betide anyone who touches me), nor against dogs quasirazza, similrazza & recreation.
But these dogs do not have to pay thousands of euro!
Ask these figures is a real scam against an audience that unfortunately does not have the slightest culture dog ... and where unscrupulous traders appofittano, incredibly, in a lawful manner.
It 's a real indignity, a shame for anyone who loves the dog and try a minimum of respect for him.
But is it really impossible to stop this massacre?
We are not sure.
The means are there, and would also be fast enough, but should care "really" to the problem ENCI (and the State Italian) on the one hand, associations and other protectionist.
ENCI ROLE: The National Kennel
Italian has the statutory purpose of protecting purebred dogs. PROTECTION BEAUTIFUL ...
But congratulations!
Because of the phenomenon of puppies East (and that of Italian awnings), the ENCI doing?
Volturi without batting an eyelid the pedigree Hungarian or Romanian, giving official status to these "papers" that are themselves a joke, because the names of the dogs reported - Fufi, Bianca, Ciccio, Smurf - are not in any way controlled or reported any serious investigation on the health, genetic diseases and so on.
Dando ufficialità in Italia al foglio di carta ungherese, ovviamente, si dà anche il "via libera" alla produzione di altri cani atipici (e potenzialmente portatori di tare genetiche che nessuno controlla), che potranno vantare un bel pedigree italiano.
Per evitare questa vera e propria presa in giro (le cui vittime sono gli allevatori italiani che si sbattono per produrre cani di qualità, e cioé le persone che l'ENCI si propone di TUTELARE), basterebbe che:
a) non si volturassero più in automatico i pedigree dei cani provenienti da Paesi affiliati all'FCI, ma che si richiedesse una conferma in esposizione (come già fanno i francesi). Questo non risolverebbe il problema alla radice, perché Too many people do not care about the pedigree and do not even know what it means in reality ... but it would certainly cast some doubt over aspiring owners. Oibò, if I buy an Italian dog'm sure I can do shows, working tests and especially puppies with pedigree: if I buy a dog abroad is not all that said let me.
Maybe I think for a moment above.
b) the ENCI (which is a ministerial body, remember) propose to the Italian state laws protecting "really" a purebred dog, but most of all its customers.
So, for example, a simple bill to ban the importation of puppies under three months.
With a law like this (Which were always enforced, of course!) Traffic from the East would DESTROY the start, because no seller awning and no more risk to get puppies in the house that "commercial palatability forgiveness" after a week.
ROLE OF PROTECTIVE GROUPS:
ENPA (National Animal Control), a few months ago, claimed the purchase of a new home thanks to a legacy 'of 800 million lira. And 'these days the news of the new headquarters of Novara.
Practically no day passes without the ENPA buy properties with a bit 'all over Italy, when you just need an office to handle a room for rent.
Why, instead of acting as an estate agent, ENPA not invest this money in part of a campaign information, promotions in favor of abandoned dogs and also of quality dogs for those who wish to race a person?
In fact, the ENPA and all other animal welfare groups are at war with serious breeders (many of which, on the contrary, they cooperate on the maintenance of shelters and / or adopt abandoned dogs), dealing with the farmers the same way as awnings and importers East of puppies.
protectionist associations not only dealing with the usual course of purebred dogs (although the term speaks of ENPA Protection "animals" and do not see why they should not be considerati tali...e poi abbiamo la Lega Nazionale per la difesa del "Cane" (e non "del bastardino" e così via), ma ritengono addirittura "immorale" che i cani possano essere commercializzati.
Bene, ma perché se la prendono con chi non "commercializza", bensì spende fior di milioni per poter consegnare al cliente un cane sano e tipico (guadagnandoci pochissimo) e NON FANNO NULLA contro i veri commercianti che comprano, rivendono, MALTRATTANO e guadagnano cifre da capogiro?
Noi allevatori appassionati siamo decisamente STUFI di sentirci equiparare a chi si arricchisce sulla pelle dei cani: e le associazioni avrebbero il dovere di darci una mano e di affiancarsi a noi nella lotta contro le tratte di cuccioli.
Per esempio, with 800 million old lira could buy space in newspapers (and even some passing on the most-watched TV), to show the general public about the reality of the East puppies and / or responsibility to anyone thinking of getting a dog. Why
remember that the strays, the abandoned and all that protectionist groups "say" to fight ... they are the direct result of irresponsible purchases and / or scams such as those linked to East puppies.
The so-called "pedigree dogs" that are said to have filled the kennels are practically not true "pedigree dogs" are "husky-like", "quasi-labrador", "-more or less homeless" and so on .
Who buys the dog in a good allevamento, e quindi si ritrova per le mani un bellissimo soggetto sano e di buon carattere, acquistato responsabilmente...NON lo abbandona, se non in casi davvero eccezionali.
Quindi, oltre alle campagne per la sterilizzazione e per il controllo della nascite dei meticci (che nei canili sono sempre la stragrande maggioranza), non farebbe per niente male una sera informazione su che cos'è un "vero" cane di razza, e su come evitare l'acquisto di un cane-truffa, un cane-bidone, un cane-delusione...che ha, purtroppo, forti possibilità di essere abbandonato perché non ha soddisfatto, povera bestia, le aspettative del suo proprietario.
Per eliminare il problema dei cani dell'Est (e tutte le conseguenze che trovate the next page) are not miracles nor more complicated: a minimum will suffice.
We know what you're waiting for?
THE CONSEQUENCES of Eastern
a) resurgence of the spread of diseases that were now virtually disappeared from Italian dog, such as distemper and parvovirus.
Dogs East, debilitated and malnourished, are a valuable reservoir for these viruses that have returned to plague our cities, spreading like oil with serious consequences for all dogs Italian;
b) extreme difficulty in Control of genetic diseases (hip and elbow dysplasia, eye diseases, diseases heart, etc.).
Almost every breed club you are giving a lot of trouble to select and monitor the dog population, excluding dogs from breeding carriers of Taree: East while the dogs are almost invariably suffer from genetic defects, and why are they there NO control.
When they arrive in Italy and ENCI - blindly and without control - gives them an Italian pedigree, these dogs are almost invariably brought into play by their owners, who like to have a litter (also a persistent unfounded rumors like that the dog "must" give birth at least once in their life) who obviously have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe damage that can lead to race. Most
people do not even know what the control of genetic diseases, and not understand that, if it is right that the world is beautiful and also of the less attractive it is not right ... that is also sick of the dogs, at least when it would have the means to avoid it;
c) an infinite number of people literally cheated and desperate children because the puppy is much wanted to see the dead in the arms after a few days;
d) significant damage to the Italian breeder of quality, that while addressing costs and commitments of great importance may not sell their puppies (healthy and typical).
Why?
But why is it considered "too expensive"!
Dealers and awnings, in fact, manage to sell the puppy (dinessun Cinotecnica value and often sick, as we have seen) a few hundred euro less: while we gain the same strategic.
So serious breeders, to be at least in expenditure, is to actually sell the puppies at a higher price than they could keep them if they were only to cover the national demand. In fact, selling more, could produce 'a bit more "certainly not with the rhythms of canifici, that in addition to stress even kittens bitches making them cover every heat ... but one litter per year might think to do it.
and producing more and having to rely on a market could lower prices slightly.
In this way there would be even greater production of quality you can rely on and to choose the best players to ever raise the level of our dogs. Today
happens that very serious and conscientious breeders do not have reservations, while the puppies of the same breed come from Eastern literally cart, go on display and are sold at a dizzying rate.
This phenomenon mostly affects pet breeds, which are most affected by this are unworthy because they are sold mainly in cities (where there are more pet shop that breeders). HOW TO PROTECT
Waiting for someone to take care of stopping more precise with the havoc that we have described so far, we remember that we are not obliged to be victims of unscrupulous dealers, because the puppies can also Eastern NOT BUY! If we turn
Italian farming, choosing among the most serious and safe (such as those recommended by our magazine, we can find in the "Kennel of quality"), do not take risks.
But if we really wanted or had to resort to other sources, such as buying in store, remember to always ask for the very first thing, the exact origin of the puppy that interests us.
If the seller tells us that comes from an Eastern country, REFUSE THE PURCHASE.
If it says it's coming from a holding Italian (or from another individual) facciamocelo always put in writing! If the seller refuses, salutiamolo forever.
WARNING: in Eastern Europe, as everywhere in the world, farmers are also serious, conscientious, producing top quality puppies.
Retailers, faced with your objections, you always talk about these farms, but forget to say something very important ... that they are not selling to wholesalers and importers, as they do good Italian farms.
So there is no possibility to buy a good puppy from the East if not andandoselo to buy in his home country and pay a fair price, which is certainly not that of canifici ... because the quality you pay anywhere in the world.
remember that unscrupulous sellers will always try to build on our feelings, making us feel unhappy if we make even the precise questions: how? The love for the dog comes before everything else?
Who cares about the origin, age, pedigree and all this nonsense?
The puppy on the left is Yang, our "testimonial" at the age of four months. That right is an Italian breeder of Golden age of two months. Yari has
Hungarian pedigree and has been paid, in store, one million and one hundred thousand lire. "Turn the page" to read her story.
WARNING: the game is old and dirty ... and it works wonderfully for years.
But enough is enough. If the seller mentions
sentimental reasons to divert our questions, kindly rispondiamogli that since the puppy is not given, but we have to pay for it, we are "forced" to protect ourselves and to ask specific guarantees as with any purchase.
So we remain firm in our demands, and if not let's settle without compromise.
musette as sweet as that to which we give you the full world of swindlers, fortunately, no.
But the only way to eliminate those who are still alive è evitare di cadere nella loro rete.
Ogni volta che rifiuteremo l'acquisto di un cucciolo dell'Est faremo pensare al commerciante di turno che questo business comincia a traballare.
Ogni volta che un commerciante smette di acquistare cuccioli dell'Est si mette in difficoltà un canificio.
La chiusura di ogni canificio rappresenta la salvezza per migliaia di cuccioli, che NON verranno messi al mondo soltanto per soffrire...e per truffare noi.
A seguire troverete alcune testimonianze dirette di persone (e di cuccioli) vittime di commercianti disonesti.
Sono storie tristi, ma vi suggerisco di leggerle perché sono ottimi esempi di ciò che riescono ad inventarsi questi veri e propri truffatori legalizzati.
These stories are made complete with names, surnames and addresses, but unfortunately we can not publish the names of U.S. stores because we sued to be ... this is the Italian law! The sale of sick puppies and abused it is perfectly legal, and defamation of these "good people" and would not put us into trouble.
HISTORY OF YANG
When we decided to take a dog we have documented: we read books on dog breeds to understand what type of dog is best suited to our lifestyle and our characters. We also contacted the farmers to have an 'idea on prices.
Then, one day after thousands of paranoia about race and sex are the dog ... entered a shop near his home to request additional information, in particular, wanted clarification on the Golden. After thinking
intortato it well, the shopkeeper showed us a Golden puppy of 3 months and so, here we are!
Yang now has seven months, is 48 cm tall at the shoulder and weighs + / - 18 kg: its growth is very low, but our troubles were not limited to this.
beginning, after having already paid, we were informed that still have to practice all three vaccinations, in what had been done only a pre-vaccine. So
Yang has remained secluded in the house for 1 whole month ... and luckily we have followed the instructions of the veterinarian. If we had taken fuori chissà cosa si sarebbe potuto prendere!
A parte questo, dopo 2 giorni che era a casa con noi, Yang ha iniziato a grattarsi.
Subito abbiamo pensato: " Beh! I cani ogni tanto si grattano"...ma lui si grattava un po' troppo spesso e con troppa forza, fino a procurarsi delle escoriazioni.
Dopo un mese di tentativi diagnostici:
-Eczema: pomata antibiotica
-Ricerca del parassita della scabbia: negativa
-Allergia alimentare: in un primo momento abbiamo cambiato la marca delle crochette, poi abbiamo aggiunto gli antistaminici.
Alla fine il nostro veterinario ci ha inviato da una dermatologa che ha diagnosticato Scabbia Sarcoptica (difficile individuare il parassita, per questo la ricerca effettuata had previously tested negative). Of course we treated Yang and disinfected the house (it was a big job!). Then
was fine. Only now we're back to the vet a bit 'to our questions on growth and a bit' to a problem in the eyes.
Score: Yang is likely not a purebred dog, plus a base on allergic conjunctivitis.

LETTER OF MARCO AND ERIKA
I am writing to tell the story of my Siberian Husky puppy of 4 months: SASHA.
all starts with the purchase of the dog 07/02/2001 at a store in our town, who says he in turn bought the puppy from a breeding di Reggio Emilia.
Il prezzo concordato per il cane era di Lit. 700.000, ma la proprietaria del negozio ci fece lo sconto di Lit. 50.000 (il costo, cioè, del 3° vaccino che la sera stessa dell'acquisto ci è stato consigliato di far fare al cucciolo).
La sera del 07/02/2001 andiamo a prendere il cane al negozio: vediamo, così la bimba.
Bella, bellissima….. il più bel musetto mai visto al mondo. Eravamo felicissimi e molto soddisfatti e quindi acquistiamo tutto l'occorrente per la cucciola - ciotole, guinzaglio, mangime ecc. -. Al momento del pagamento la negoziante ci consegna il pedegree e solo in quel momento ci dice che la nostra cucciola arriva dall'Ungheria, e quindi il suo pedegree è ungherese.
There and then we were very upset because we thought that since he had taken in Reggio Emilia, the dog was Italian: it had never alluded to dogs of the East. In
confidence we paid the puppy and she asked us for cash, not checks.
So, we brought the dog to do the vaccination, the same evening, at the Vet Clinic that the store sends all its customers. On 10/02/2001
back at the same vets since the dog has diarrhea, catarrh, bad cold, and is treated with antibiotics for 8 days.
On 21/02/2001, we return to the clinic for the recall of vaccination, the dog had still made despite cold and phlegm. 26/02/2001
The dog is again the same symptoms, but more important, was diagnosed with conjunctivitis (eye wept and was kept semi) we have treated with antibiotic drops.
On 28/02/2001 we decide to change Vet and we go in another study, where the dog has been carefully visited (we will say from head to toe): diagnosis of acute laryngitis (the puppy had to eat for 6 day homogenized for children), fever (39.7), diarrhea, conjunctivitis right eye and require us to treat him for 12 days with eye drops.
Friday, 21/03/2001, go to the clinic for a check-up and do blood tests the dog: is anemic.
Monday, 05/03/2001, further examination and diagnosis of otitis is that we treat with antibiotics to which we add vitamins.
Tuesday, 06/03/2001 the child was hospitalized overnight for viral syndrome is not well defined: diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding and treated with an injection antivomito.
Wednesday, 07/03/2001, we return the dog after a thorough visit.
On 23/02/2001 we revisit the puppy because it has a much more dilated pupil of the other and with irregular shape. Upon the recommendation of the retailers do see a specialist in ophthalmology for suspected glaucoma. Around
04/04/2001, eye healed, the child has a tic to the right front and hind legs. At first we thought it was caused by a fall, but the spasms were becoming more frequent. On the 05/04/2001 we will now seek the advice of several veterinarians in the company owns the store, since we kept constantly informed about the conditions of the puppy. All were in agreement on veterinary diagnosis: neurologic syndrome from distemper.
We went off to warn the owner of the shop according to our vet the puppy was left very little time to live, and she made us a proposal - when my dog \u200b\u200bwas still alive - saying that he called a well-known and prestigious Italian breeding and have asked the price a puppy without pedigree. She would have done the same money without gaining anything.
The Lady was convinced us so a big favor and give us a great opportunity sin has categorically refused to indemnify another dog who gives it for free or return your money, because it says it is impossible to diagnose distemper and that was absolutely impossible had nightmares when she sold it there.
We have clearly rejected the proposal.
Our puppy, Monday, 09/04/2001, at 11.25 fell asleep forever in the arms of Erika, weeping and moaning in pain. SASHA
The little body was brought to our Institute of Pathology di Padova dove è stata fatta l'autopsia ed è stata confermata la tesi di morte per CIMURRO.
Colgo l'occasione per ringraziare chi mi ha venduto il cane per avere giocato alla grande con i sentimenti delle persone: per quanto pare per loro è una cosa abituale.
Queste parole le dico perché altre persone che hanno acquistato il cucciolo in quel negozio sono rimaste deluse come noi. In teoria i cani venduti da quel negozio sono garantiti per un anno dalla data di acquisto: alcuni cuccioli muoiono dopo pochi giorni, altri entro pochi mesi, altri sono affetti da tare genetiche gravi, ma nessuno di noi riesce a farsi risarcire…..
GRAZIE ANCORA DI CUORE,
Marco ed Erika, IN RICORDO DELLA NOSTRA SASHA
Paul's letter
We decided to buy a puppy, but we had no idea what kind to choose it.
Then we began to search for shops and farms to at least give us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe 'appearance of various breeds (some of them brand new for us). Trying
then the Yellow Pages, we found several vendors of puppies (our ignorance of sellers was complete).
began to visit someone, some were just bad and wrong puppy kept in cages stink, and they were discarded.
Then we came to a well-known seller of puppies to the low Brescia (I only regret not being able to name).
Here the place was clean despite the large number of puppies of different breeds, in short we fell in love di una cucciolina di bichon e la comprammo all'istante (1 milione e mezzo, mica un regalo): niente contratto, solo una ricevuta fiscale.
Estrassero un pedigree da un mucchio di altri pedigree,da cui risultava che la cagnolina aveva tre mesi e proveniva dall'Ungheria: la cosa non ci allarmò perchè allora non sapevamo niente di cani importati ecc.
Insomma la portammo a casa.
Era stato un amore a prima vista e per dire la verità era un amore davvero.
Ma dopo poche settimane la piccola cominciò a sentirsi male.
Il vet fu chiaro: "cimurro", malgrado noi l'avessimo vaccinata secondo il programma indicatoci dal venditore(ma il vet aveva già detto che secondo lui non aveva tre mesi ma era più piccola).
I will spare you the story of his suffering and our own: one I held in my arms day and night for a week because I felt that same arm to me calmer, I gave her a drink and eat with a syringe on its own, bear it, but eventually died.
I will not tell you the trauma of the whole family.
did not expect it to become a show dog, I would not, but at least that remained alive, yes.
Of course the seller had no guilt, according to him.
We even offered another dog, but who knows at half the price because despite being the largest of our knowledge this pedigree is not had it, evidently they had bought stock in and were sold out.
course refused, some did not want to repeat the experience.
Since then we have better information and when it came to buy our first Bolognese we visited several farms "real" dogs that did not matter as puppets for them to die on the road or in the homes of stupid customers (us).
I must say, though that is another story, that surprises even some not so much like famous farms, farmers' famous but do not take the dogs all well and put them in cages of chickens on top of each other ( sin can not say for sure who it is because you have heard of).
We then chose the farm where the dogs were kept better and happier. Now we
with Greta but certainly one that could have been a great experience for us but we cost so much and so much sorrow.
