This is INSANE.. River Kennels is operating an unlawful pet breeding business and are negligent breeders. We are so glad this is gaining more attention. SHUT THEM DOWN 😡😡😡
Check out our previous reports on this backyard breeder.

This is Nala, an 8-month-old Goldendoodle in Chattanooga.

Her owners say they sent her to a Chickamauga kennel to be trained and when she came back, she was pregnant with puppies.

But the contract they signed says the business, Savage River Kennels, isn't responsible "if pregnancy occurs, nor for any cost involved"

The Georgia Department of Agriculture says the kennel used to have a license in past years but let it lapse. They said in February they applied again, but they haven't completed that process. The kennel's social media pages show them advertising boarding and train for months.

Savage River Kennels 💥IRRESPONSIBLE BREEDER
Walthour 💥 NOT LICENSED, ILLEGAL BREEDING OPERATION
Savage River Kennels and it's owner Melissa & J Robert Walthour
8994 WEST COVE ROAD
CHICKAMAUGA, GA 30707

Everything may look "perfect" on social media, but this dog breeding operation does NOT have a Pet Dealer Permit for the Georgia Department of Ag. and they are OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT for dog breeding in the state. This illegally operating kennel has been running this unlicensed business for years, and putting their dogs on ice is absolutely uncalled for. This is animal cruelty! One crack in the ice, and these dogs could drown. How is one prepared for saving a pack of dogs from drowning in ice cold water?

This illegal puppy mill has been operating for YEARS 😡
Producing WAY over the legal limit without a pet dealer permit, lacking special use permits from Barrien County, improperly zoned for dog kennels/breeding operation, lacking business license, and negligent husbandry of dogs.
We have all the proof here. WATCH OUT for these backyard breeders.

This is an obvious scam. DO NOT SEND MONEY!
Fake account has posted in random states, they ask for a deposit, and run off with your money! They do not have dogs or monkeys for sale. Don't fall for this one.

Illegally operating a puppy mill in Commerce, Georgia! We've kept our eye on him over the years and now we finally have enough evidence to file an official report. He has been producing over the legal limit for years, keeping his dogs in a garbage filled backyard coop type junkyard. They have money for beer and ci******es but NOT for a vet???

We have another scammer, only this one is pretty elaborate!
DO NOT SEND A DEPOSIT, THESE IMAGES ARE STOLEN

Cairn Terry and Britney dachshund puppies for adoption and rehoming
Created less than 6 months ago, and changed from Carin Terrier to Carin, Terry, & Britney, in November (30 days ago) and has gained 5.1K in AI BOT followers. Any information pertaining to "Carin Terriers" has been deleted. They advertise in Georgia, New York, and other random states.
They post believable stories and heartfelt paragraphs which indicates there is a real person behind this. However, the images of the elderly women and videos are STOLEN and just a ploy to make you more comfortable sending money!
But even crazier, "Tracy Morgan" says they are reputable, but this is a FAKE ACCOUNT TOO. None of her pictures are in correct order of relevance to the date/age of her child, and the images from 2016 have cars with European license plates, with friends that are from middle eastern countries. DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM!
