The owner of Est Alfa Kennels who has been breeding and selling his large Caucasian Shepard mixed security dogs from his website was arrested by the Nye County Sheriff’s last night and the dogs in Amargosa are being seized. Vasili Platinov and Oskana Higgins have been operating for a number of years here in Pahrump until a court case came forward in which they decided to relocate the animals to a property in Amargosa. A few months ago dozens were seized and some in extremely poor conditions at that time. 60 more puppies have been born recently and the older dogs are not being purchased. They usually sell for about 2500-4000 dollars on his site. Animal rescues have donated food. Platinov himself has stated in court that he cannot afford to feed them.
