Pictures of Thunder Valley Rottweilers in Jamestown, TN - owned by Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter
Some pictures that are not so shocking, but are a harbinger of pictures to
come from Thunder Valley Rottweilers. These pictures show a general lack
of appreciation for Rottweilers as the noble champions that they are, and
portend an attitude of Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter that these wonderful
dogs are a ‘cash machine.’ Similar to the the feeling you get when you
watch movies of puppy mills.
Jordyn - many would say well past her puppy baring prime.
Kennel - outside view, not much of a run.
Kennel - inside view, not much space.
These next pictures of the incredibly unsanitary conditions at Thunder Valley
Rottweilers; the are graphic and not for those with weak constitutions.
The pictures speak for themselves, and all were taken at the ‘kennels’ of
Thunder Valley Rottweilers in Jamestown TN, owned by Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter.
Lest you think that she doesn’t have dogs living in this filth here are some
pictures below that will show you the total disregard for animals exhibited by
Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter of Thunder Valley Rottweilers.
And here are some pictures to show you the kind of physical abuse,
mistreatment, and malnourishment that is going on at Thunder Valley Rottweilers.
Did a vet dock that tail? I think not.
Or this one? I doubt it.
Maybe your dog looks like this, but none of mine do. Unacceptable.
Sometimes a dog needs a bit more protein or fat in their diet. This dog
could use a bit more FOOD in its diet.
Does this look like a healthy dog to you?
Dogs that are cared for properly don’t look like this.
So in response to some of the people who have been asking if this website is
put up by a couple of people who have a beef with Joan Foote and Stephanie
Paulter and Thunder Valley Rottweilers in Jamestown TN - these pictures provide
‘eye witness’ evidence of the mistreatment of animals that is going on at Joan
Foote’s kennels.

The photos are priceless. Better yet, double click on the photos for a larger close up view (if you have a strong enough stomach).
This is how the dogs live on a daily basis. The dog still listed on her web site as being alive is currently dead and buried in her front yard. Borgi died amongst this filth.

Please tell me that these poor dogs will be removed from these horrible conditions very soon. What on earth has happened to Joan or Stephanie to allow these conditions to exist?

It would be quite helpful if the dogs would be identified and or have owner names for verification that these are indeed photos of dogs at Thunder Valley. I believe Jazz’s owner, I do. But a group of anonymous photos is not really helpful

3rotts - I understand what you are saying. I will do my best to get names for all the dogs that I can.
I want EVERYONE to know as much as I can tell them, but I didn’t take the pictures and don’t want to put my source in a compromising position, so some information I just can’t give out.
You can clearly read “Elecktra” on the pictures of her under the filth section. I identified Jordyn in the first photo. Anyone who has been to the Thunder Valley Rottweiler kennel can attest that the backgrounds of all the photos posted here came from Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter’s kennels.
Should you have a doubt, contact Sara Bird, she can vouch that the photos depict the property as she witnessed it.

Yes, I will tell you the puppies in the whelping box are Berlin puppies. The puppies with the puss coming out of their tails are Berlin puppies. The dog lying down with the Flea-bitten patch of hair missing on their body is Berlin.
The Jordyn photo is showing that no she did not have the puppies Joan and Stephanie sold as hers. They are Berlins.
Any questions?

Read the name tags on the filthy crates. Look close one reads Zara which is my bitch “Mardi’s” daughter.
One crate reads “Belle” and “Jana”

DRRoyally Ben Screwed,
Are you telling me for an absolute fact that I have a Berlin puppy here? Am I into this puppy all this money, and I will never receive papers?
I have a hard time swalling this!
9 DRRoyallyBenScrewed // Dec 12, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Yes, its a Berlin puppy. Proof is in the DNA.
10 DRRoyallyBenScrewed // Dec 12, 2007 at 5:52 pm
And by the way, AKC is aware of this.

I have rescued better looking dogs from animal shelters. These people should be ban from having any type of animals
12 Sara Bird // Dec 12, 2007 at 6:53 pm
I just checked my UPS Delivery Status. AKC recieved my mounds of paper work and the puppies DNA today. Does anyone know of the where abouts on the Rest of the litter. These puppies were born on 9/14/2007 Joan told me I was getting a Rathko X Jordyn puppy.

I too have been to the kennels and the above names of the dogs are the correct dogs., I personally saw Thunder before he died as well and she was soooo heartless that she would not have him put to sleep when I saw him he could barely walk from his crate to go out to go to the bath room and she had to carry him out the door so that he could go. For all the money he made her she let him die a long and miserable death. As to Jordyn having puppies she is over 5 years old and to date Joan has never been able to get her bred she has bred her everytime that she has come into heat, did presales on the puppies only for no puppies to be born. If you purchased a puppy that she claims that is Jordyn it truely is not a Jordyn puppy sorry to say. Also I know that she has breeding problems with Nani,Tika,and Electra so buyer beware on these as well. Elktra has really only had a couple of litters her self any others may not be hers. I too would recommend a DNA Test on any dog that has come from HER kennels. People that she has stud serviced out there would be okay but I would definetely DNA anything that comes from that kennel its worth the 35.00.

When my puppy came home her tail looked the same as the picture with the rotty with th etail docked wrong. My vet does not believe that another vet did this. And neither do I. But, Stephanie and Joan have said that it was. I also have noticed all of the dogs look the same as they grow. My rotty looks like the dogs listed on this site.

I also agree anyone who has been to the kennel can tell you it ia a horrible place. When i visited the backyard of Joan Footes house was disgusting and not ept up. The dog run was filthy. I walked through her house and it reaked with the stench of urine. Anyone who does business with her is crazy.
