I have two beagles from Bounds Beagles and to this day have never received any AKC papers after asking several times for them. I worked for Mrs. Bounds to pay off the balance of one of my dogs, and being that she wasn't AKC she had me take the dogs when she was only 5 weeks old, just to get her out of there. She wasn't making any real money on her and every time I went out there the price went up until I finally said I wasn't going to give her another dime. It's funny though that she claims this business of hers to profit $500.000.00 a year, and her and her husband are both retired. That's alot of money being made on dogs. No good breeder registers as many litters as she does. I saw on several occasions at least 50 puppies running around in the birthing area part of the kennel at one time. Also, ask to see up in back where they keep all the rest of their dogs. She puts up a good front. You'll be suprised, What is really sad is how she likes to brag about how her dogs paid for this humongous house she has just had built and is living in. Sound more like a puppy mill to me. No other breeders in this area would recommend buying any of her dogs. Who knows what happens to her poor dogs once she had finshed breeding them so many times to a point where they can't have any more puppies. There are alot of coyotes out in the canyons where she lives. Just be cautious and ask to see all her property and get documented family lineage from her if you happen to buy a dog from her. I would not recommend her or her dogs to anyone. She needs to be investigated and shut down is what this woman really needs.
Pros: Birthing area is clean, but that is for show only
Cons: Puppy Mill. Her caretakers abuse and kick the dogs.
