On (thursday august 28 at 6:30 pm) my dog and I were charged and attacked and knock to the ground by two Boxer breed dogs,belonging to one of your employees working in the back of your building, working in shipping and receiving. My dog received three bites on his head and his lips on one side have been bitten. I'am angry about this.Your employee clearly had a woman visiter there whom had brought the dogs to Genband with out leash or harness and this why the dogs were able to attack us in the mannor that they did. I'm hoping you will talk with this employee about this matter.He is a 5'10 flat top hair cut with silver frame glasses,pot bellied and wears a skylue lab coat that says GENDBAND. As far as I can tell drives a bright red suv type car. He was rude offered no help to me what so ever and told me to call the Police because he was on private property. I did call the Police on returning home and they have told me to call the animal shelter. I have been trying to reach the office of GENBAND AT 3605 E.PLANOPARKWAY SUITE

I decided on an Afghan Hound. The breed is stunning, their temperament matches mine. I decided to get a rescue young adult. I contacted AHCA for a dog, but they did not have one available. But Debbie White, owner of Hatari Afghans (http://hatari-afghans.com), a rescue rep and Evangers rep from Texas had a young adult ready for adoption. Debbie sounded like she cared about her dogs, was knowledgeable and professional. I bit and entered into a contract with her. TRUSTING HER WAS MY GREATEST MISTAKE. I started talking to her in mid May with the understanding that she will send me the puppy after my event in Tahoe, mid June. She got the money, I did not get the dog. She charged me $700 for his adoption, $400 for flight, $200 for a kennel, $100 for health certificates. That ís $1400. AGAIN, she got the money, I never got the dog. First he needed grooming, then he got into fire ants, then Debbie got busy, then, well, something else happened. Delay turned into another delay and finally ended in silence as Debbie stopped communicating with me completely. I reported her to AHCA. It took a call from AHCA director Barb Hastings for Debbie to actually email me back, letting me know that she will return my money. But guess what! Though she promised the refund, she never sent it. I was made aware that she is helping with the pretty bad “puppy mill” situation in New Mexico. But if this is the way she treats people, I wonder how she treats her dogs. For example, she mentioned that the dog I was supposed to have gotten was house trained. Then she let it slip that he only lives outside. Afghans need constant care and companionship. If she did not clean him take care of him, how much socialization has he gotten? And other dogs in her possession? For Afghans that’s imperative. On the website she lists a few more pups for adoption. These are just from her own breeding. And now with the other pups in he possession, if she has no time for her own dogs, how will she be able to handle others? I think that with her bubbly personality she taking people and the dogs in her possession for a ride! I don’t want other people to go through this sort of experience. Getting an animal is an emotional experience. I prepped for this dog. Debbie works for Evangers Dog Food. I purchased the food she suggested. I got a whole bunch of toys, I prepped the house for the animal only to get suckered in and screwed. Please pass this along to anyone who is thinking of purchasing an Afghan / getting one from a rescue. Hatari Afghans is a scam. Debbie White and her operation should be closed. She is not to be trusted and should be avoided at all costs. A few months ago I decided that I wanted a dog. I decided on an Afghan Hound. The breed is stunning, their temperament matches mine.

My husband had the little girls father over and the little girl ran into my home as if it was her own startling my dog which caused him to bite her. I am a bit concerned as the new laws are clearly already into effect. My dog has never bitten anyone. He is very protective of his pack. I just feel in some way the childs father is responsible for the incident and not my animal.I am a very responsible dog owner. Anytime we have ever had small children over my dog is placed outside in the backyard. i am devastated at the fact that my dog bit a child but i feel that he was merely protecting his home from an "intruder" and I am well aware that 5 yr old girl is not really what people would consider an intruder but a dogs mind is different. Bottom line i paid the bill of $355 she had to get stitches. in a sense i dont feel bad for her because you dont just let your children run into other peoples homes.Be responsible for your child and I will be responsible for my dog.

While my dog is constrained on the back porch...I have to leave and go to the store...tell her NOT to open the back door, I will be right back...After I leave, she apparently opens the back door, unlocking three locks and lets the dog out which she claims bit her. When I get home, my house was left wide open (to any burglar) and she was gone. She calls animal protection and the dog is quarantined. The dog, by the way, has been released. She now calls me and claims I am responsible for her hospital bill and her lost wages. Shouldn't she be SOLELY responsible for this bite? I think she should have to pay the $460.00 vet bill. Also, the dog in question isn't even MY dog, but, my boyfriend's. For all I know her own dogs could have bit her.

The dog is going to consider that person an intruder and naturally defend his/her family. Why then is the dog considered dangerous and quarantined? If the dog is up to date on rabbies, why quarantine? This happened here and I'm afaid we'll never see our dog again. Shouldn't the neighbor be held responsible for their own injury when they elect to put their hands on someone elses side of the line and the dog is confined in their own backyard?

What about people being responsible for their own actions. Watch your kids better; keep their hands off of our dogs when we take them to the pet store or out to the beach. Just because we take our dogs in public places DOES NOT give anyone the right to touch that dog. Would you want strangers to come up to your kids and start petting them? I bet not! So, if you don't want bit, get the h### away from our dogs. Also, if you haven't noticed it is NOT THE DOG'S FAULT; it is the stupid owner. I agree that owner's need to be responsible for their dogs actions; I'm one of them. I have two Rottweillers that I take to the pet store with me all of the time. People cannot believe their eyes when they see them and how well behaved they are. People it takes 100's of hours of training to get dogs to behave in such a manner it does not happen over night. I REPEAT: KEEP YOUR HANDS AND YOUR KIDS HANDS OFF OF MY DOGS WHEN I TAKE THEM INTO THE PUBLIC ARENA!!!!!!!! This new law “bites”. What about people being responsible for their own actions.
