Bell Kennels

Convicted of 13 counts of FELONY ANIMAL ABUSE for DROWNING PUPPIES!!!! http://www.nbcnews.com/id/53505381/ns/local_news-minneapolis_st_paul_mn/#.Un3MuRCsr0M

In 2008 I purchased a dog from this breeder. My story is similar to others, we called about a specific puppy we had seen online and were given the run around trying to arrange a time to come and get the dog. When we were finally able to arrange a time to pick up the p...uppy she no longer a puppy but was 5 months old. She was in bad shape. I took her home because I couldn't leave her there - if I could've saved them all I would have. When we took her to our vet they found her ears horribly infected - they were so concerned that they contacted authorities and reported the incident. I've had my dog for 3 and 1/2 years and she is still frightened of her own shadow. She does not trust people and it takes a long time for her to build a relationship with other animals. I was hopefull that after our vet had reported this facility that action had been taken and that they had cleaned up their act. It saddens me to read other reviews with similar reports 3 years later.

Bell Kennels is an awful puppy mill, where cruelty to animals runs rampant. The owner of this "business" should not have been let out of jail. Do not support the abuse!!

Investigators removed the frozen carcasses of 11 dogs from a kennel operation in southern Dakota County, the Sheriff's Office said Thursday. Bell Kennels in Sciota Township, just north of Northfield, is being investigated for cruelty to animals after the Sept. 29 raid ...by sheriff's deputies. Taken from the StarTribune @ http://www.startribune.com/local/south/131830988.html. People like this have no business having animals. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BREEDER. Read More

This place is terrible. We walked into the area where they hold their puppies and there were flies everywhere. We had called the breeder about a specific puppy we found online and noticed when we went there, he was the biggest puppy (5 months old) in his crate that was ...filled with 2-3 month old puppies. He was clearly cleaned up for us because we met his brothers and sisters outside that were DIRTY outside and in a muddy fenced-in area. The breeder said he was healthy and at his first vet appt, we learned he had a double yeast infection in both of his ears! He also acted as if he was abused--any sudden movement, he tucked his tail and was super low to the ground. I feel terrible for all the puppies that were left with her.
