munchausen proxy in pet owners - Page 2

I know a breeder also who has had many dogs die from "accidents" or just dissappeared with no explanation.  Of course this breeder believes that they are the victim of everything and that their life has been terribly unfair.  It's not about the dogs, it's about how the pity and attention they can get from other people.   

Euroshepherd,
   You are so right and that is why they do it for the attention from doctors ,nurses,vets,and other people, but it is also about the poor victims of this unstable mentallity.

This person does the same thing.  She has dogs that she has "retired" who are now dead or "Disappeared" . She has 2 dogs retired that are still breeding. The only reason is MONEY. Both are older dogs too. She is a sorry excuse for a breeder let along a human .

I'm not at all sure that what you are describing is Munchhausens-by-proxy.  IMO I think other cases on thread may very well be;   but it sounds to me like your example is just plain  "evil greedy puppy farmer syndrome"  ??? 

Hundmutter,
    Now thats a syndrome all by its self, and I'm sure in that "evil greedy puppy farmer syndrome" there still might be some sign's of munchhausen-by-proxy .

Well there sometimes might be (similarities /overlap), but while I'd have some sympathy with anyone with a genuine mental health problem, I have not got a lot with people who simply dispose of inconvenient dogs.
Whether or not they then admit / claim they are ill.  No details in story of 2nd Michigan breeder to indicate actual
illness or disability in the dogs which are put down or "disappeared"; or physical abuse of children in family;  that would seem to set this case apart ? 
I'm assuming - maybe wrongly if its the same person both times - that while there's an account of some law trouble over a baby (death?) with the first one, there is nothing else known on the second.

I agree with you on that one.

I don't know what her problems is. I have just learned that she plans to "put down" her 1 female who just had puppies on the 8th because she 'says' the dog bit someone. Which is questionable as the dog has never left the property since the day she got there. She does have Muchausen as well as a few other things wrong.
