would a rescue not want an up to date homecheck anyway?
Things change .

The only problem I can envisage by what you've put is that you have entire dogs, but that is going on the GSD homechecks that I've done, that don't allow a dog to go to a home where there is an entire dog in residence.

Sounds perfect otherwise

Does any rescue rehome to households with entire dogs ??

*shrugs shoulders* not any that I've came across, but then again, it's never been a problem for me as my dogs aren't entire.

yep, currently boarding a pair where one lad is entire and we rehomed them the second one, not for us to tell anyone to have their dog done, and all the ones we rehome are done anyway

See thats the thing - I know my dog and he has conditions where he will be done if he breaks them - of course he doesn't know this - it's just for the OH (the man thing about dogs losing their bits ) and there are things in place to stop him from reaching these conditions.

For example - the garden is secure so he can't wander, he is socialised with both entire/neutered males and females. I don't allow bitches in heat in my house and if it can't be helped they are kept apart when I'm not there and when I am there the girls wear knickers and the boys are removed if they get too tempted, she came on unexpectedly when she was at ours on holiday.. I'm sensible about these things. Plus Louie is just 1 so I'm letting him mature a little more then getting him done.. as soon as I know he's out of the teen stage and settling into adult hood - they're coming off! ..

Thats a failure for me then

Only ever had a homecheck for a cockatiel, never a dog.

Not sure I understand your post?

You was saying you judge a potential home based on how they react to your dog being in their home (thats how I understood your homechecks) and somebody else said they would be suspicious if a potential home was like a show home.

My point was i'd fail because I keep my own home spotless and very ordered and a strange dog in my home would make me very nervous! A strange dog in the garden makes me nervous! So, hence i'd fail big time but i'm pretty sure my dogs have an excellent life nonetheless.

If I was evidently uncomfortable with your dog in my home, would you reject me?

Yes because a) I tell people I will be bringing a dog with me and b) why would a dog lover who wanted to rehome a dog be nervouse of a strange dog as of course the dog they are about to get will be a stranger to them!

If you are not in the market for a rescue dog then you are hardly likely to be put in this position are you.

And whether or not your dogs have a good life is not in question, so do mine and I have never been homechecked!

If people do not like strangers or strange dogs in their homes, better not apply to rescue then!
