Breeders issue police complaints against doctor over ‘assaulted’ dogs

Udomsuk Sakulpradit, 35, of “Dog Landmark” farm and Rungthiwa Janejitman of “The Best Bulldog”, both from Chumporn province, were accompanied by Siranut Thongkam of Watchdog Thailand.
Udomsuk told police that the doctor, identified as Krit (family name withheld), had bought a two-year-old certified Pomeranian for Bt100,000. The dog was sent by plane to the doctor and Udomsuk received no complaints.
However, about six months later, the doctor claimed that the dog was not the same one in the photo Udomsuk had sent to him and that it was in poor health. Udomsuk explained that the dog had been with the doctor for quite some time, however the doctor insisted that the farm send a new dog and accept the old dog back.
“The doctor posted photos of the dog and wrote something that made readers misunderstand that my farm sold an unhealthy dog to him. His posts discredited my farm,” he said.
When the dog was returned to him, it had severely irritated eyes, face and mouth.
“It has eye problems also, making it almost blind. Its skin was infected and it was afraid of people,” Udomsuk said.
Rungthiwa said that she sold bulldogs to the same doctor and the animals were returned following similar complaints. When the dogs were returned, they had irritated faces and had developed unusual behaviours.
Rungthiwa  and Udomsuk told police that they wanted the doctor charge for assaulting animals and causing loss of property.
