Am I being over sensitive

this ad really upset me today,and a friend said theres nowt wrong with how they are being kept,heres the ad for GSD pups,

Doesnt't look like any bedding to me I remember when no one ever kept the white pups in a litter.
No, i dont think you are being over sensitive.

Jeanette

No, you're not being oversensitive! They look like they're being kept in some sort of out-house with no bedding at all. Those poor pups,they should be in a home,being exposed to normal everyday life, especially being the breed they are.

I stared at the photo for ages trying to make out whether its vetbed on the floor but even if it is (which I doubt), it looks such a horrible place

I wouldn't leave Fudge there and that is my marker point. Not being sensitive at all.....

my friend just sort of made me feel bad for commenting on it,(shes looking for a pup)even though advised against these sort of ads,she knows best,and I cannot see bedding either,but am hoping they were only put there whilst bedding area was cleaned,I am a dreamer,and like to try and think good of people,but then again if this was the case,surely they would take pics in better place,I know when I have a litter my front room becomes a nursery for up unitl they leave home,with access to outside,loads of new vet bed,

I don't see a pic

Sorry Picture not there, but those that have seen it agree with you, so that's all that matters xxxxx

I didn't see a picture so it makes it hard but I would only expect to see bedding in the sleeping section of the kennel not in the run & if they were whites they'd not surely photogragh them on a white bedding. Advert somewhat bemuses me as it is obvious they are specifically breeding for whites which several members of the white & longcoat club do,but then mentions champions in the pedigree when white is a disqualifying colour for showing. At least they seem to have had health checks done prior to mating.

The picture was of a room (appeared to an foofed outdoor room - e.g. coal bunker or bin store - no plaster on walls - brickwork painted white) that appeared to be about 4ft wide (can't tell length as photo may not have been taken from the door, but assuming it was, the room was probably about 10ft long).

The photo showed the female and the pups lying at the far end with another dog (presumably the father) lying a few feet nearer the camera

The photo was grainy, but the floor was a mottled lightish brown colour. Its possible that it was brown vet bed, but it looked like it was just ground (like a plaster colour, though you wouldn't normally plaster a floor).

As for the health testing - what they say is that they have good scores 'in the family' - to me that doesn't necessarily mean the ma & pa of the pups.
