Scratch loved her toys, but the medication she was on to control her seizures left her too lethargic to play.

     "Usually she would have two or three seizures over 6 to 24 hours. This cluster would cycle every 45 days or so. It was treated with Phenobarbital and Valium for three years, but she would still have the seizures every 40-60 days. The vet said it was the best we could hope for. . . .The picture shows what the medication she was on did to her. She had no interest in toys or playing for the last year of her life because of the meds to control the seizures. "

     FINAL UPDATE: Mr. Schulz is out of the "dog business" forever. He died on June 28, 2022.

     15 May 2014 UPDATE: In 2011, Pretty Penny Kennels applied for and was granted a "temporary license" under WI Act 90. However, Mr. Schulz declined to upgrade his facilities to comply with the new regulations, so was denied a permanent license.

     Under the law, Mr. Schulz may still sell fewer than 25 dogs a year, from three litters. If you have reason to suspect that he is selling more dogs, or are concerned about the conditions in which his remaining dogs are being kept, please see our Filing a Complaint page for details on how to contact DATCP with your concerns!
