A Sullivan County dog breeder who fled after authorities discovered the bodies of dead puppies and other animals and live animals housed in feces-filled crates is now facing 106 counts of animal cruelty and dog law violations.

Laura Antretter, also known as Lauren Wolf, turned herself in on March 14 and spent four days in Wyoming County jail after failing to post $10,000 bail, according to court records. Antretter bred Jack Russells, as well as exotic Lurcher and Atlas hounds and was well known in terrier and hound breeding forums on the Internet.
