Impulse buying without research no doubt!!

Just seen a pup up for re-homing, via it's breeder a cute leggy lurcher x bc and why do you ask is it up for re-homing at 12 weeks, yes 12 weeks old after only being in it's new home for a week?????

Because it's too lively


OMG - why oh why do these people buy dogs

At a guess with my limited knowledge it would be full of fun and mischief but with a high energy level - bet it would make a brill agility dog in a year or so's time

No research what so ever! At least it had been returned to the breeder instead of sold on to another unsuspecting muppet.

Poor little thing!

Idiotic owner!

I heard of a rescue tonight who have a 14 week old for rehoming because.....his owners 'didn't like him'!

Argh! Stupid, stupid people!

There were times when I first got Zymi that I didn't like him at all but NEVER thought of giving up on him.

I just can't imagine doing it, I've got to admit when I first found out about Bailey's blindness 2 days after I got him it did cross my mind to return him but I think it was shock and a Ohmigod whatamIgonnado moment I'd never had any experience of dealing with a blind dog however it was never serious consideration

Now 3 and a half years later and after some hard work I'm so glad I stuck with him but to actually return a 12 week old pup - aren't all puppies little b**gers ? and such a culture shock after having adult dogs but . . . seriously? Too lively????

Thats exactly how my pal got her Bracco Italiano. 12 weeks, too lively. Owners practically paid her to take it.
He's a cracker to.

Blimey Bracco's aren't exactly a common breed, they must've done no research whatsoever!!!!
