Doggy snobbery

I'm so mad. I have just tried to book my gorgeous girl into a boarding kennel for a weekend later this year and they refused to take her because she is a "mongrel" I hate that word!! They only take pedigree dogs as I quote" mongrels are unpredictable and settle less well than pedigree dogs"

I was so angry I could barely speak but when I did I let them know what I thought about their complete ignorance regarding dogs.
Has anyone else come across this blatant doggy snobbery or am I just unlucky?
I have had various dogs in the past pedigree and mixed breed and have never encountered this attitude before.
Sorry to rant but I'm soooooooo mad!!!

OMG what a*******s.
What a ridiculous statement

I'm not surprised that you're ranting.

But, think of it as a lucky escape - if they have this mindset, they're not the right people to look after you're dog.

If you want revenge contact your local paper and get them to run a story! That'll dent their income a tad me thinks!
Becky

ooh Becky your evil! LOL

Stupid people find a decent kennels who don't discriminate, I can honestly say I've never heard anything so stupid.

Well I've heard it all now! As Hali said, think of it as a lucky escape cause there's no way you want such idiots taking care of your fur baby! Agree with Becky too, report them to the local paper! What a bunch of morons

oh my god!!! thats a weird thing to say?!!

i had this on another board before i joined this one, i wanted a white GSD, and was run off the boards as apprantly its not a 'real' gsd.......as are blues and long coats!

only short coat black tan need apply!

so silly!

What snobs. I agree with the telling the local papers about them. Do they expect you to produce papers to prove their pedigree when you take them then?

I'd be mad if I was told this.

What a dreadful attitude to have, I think you have had a lucky escape. I don't think I would want a dog of mine boarding there if thats there attitude.
