I'm not exactly sure of Ethan's situation... if they were breeding dogs there or not. But he was kept in a small crate in the same room with sixty or so dogs in the same situation, crates stacked ontop of each other. Ethan has obvious signs of being beaten and tramatized as a pup. Not to mention that when he was rescued, he was underweight. Even when we adopted him, they told us that he could still use a few more pounds on him. He was actually adopted a few times before we adopted him. It never worked out because no one was willing to go the extra mile to help him with some of his behavioral issues. Ethan's past has resulted in him being extremely sensitive to the volume and tone of your voice, and for a long time, if you'd reach to pet him, he'd act like you were going to hit him. He's also ended up being dog agressive to other dogs outside of the home. He's attempted to start countless fights with other dogs in the neighborhood, luckily we've always been there to hold him back and take him to a place where he can calm down. You can't forget how protective he is of the family, too.
Its hard to believe that only the first year of his life was spent in such a horrid home, yet it impacted him so much that he is the most sensitive dog I've ever met.
His story is more of abuse than of bad breeding.... so I might have just typed all of that for no reason.
