I'm just thinking that in many breeds the breeders can recognise various lines and they may be able to trace the breeder (even without paperwork) to confirm whether they will take responsibility....and if not, at least the breed club will know this is one breeder not to recommend.
I'm one of the first to slate irresponsible breeders, but I can't help but think that the breeder and/or the breed club should be given the opportunity to 'put things right' when one of their breed does end up in rescue.

I would say if the owners trust us to rehome their dog and assess and look after it then thats what we have to do. I mean what if we contacted the breeders and they took dog back didnt spey they would just flog it on again which isnty I presume what the owners would want.

They might be able to help find a home thats got more knowledge in the breed, got a feeling that its on Ireland looking at the link, but they might know of another rescue or potential homes in England/Scotland/wales.

She can't post pictures cos a) it's someone else's dog, and b) they don't want the dog etc being identified by the person the owner is trying to get away from
(Sarah27, please correct me if I'm wrong!)
Does sound a great project to be involved in.
