I had someone phone for ? a pup from me. They were wanting to go elsewhere and they thought that because said people had bred more in 15 months than I have in 15 years that they were much better than I was! Just shows how the GP think differently to many of us.

can i chuck a spanner in the works?


for ever dog bred by a breeder - another dog in a rescue home could be put back on the waiting list

what if mrs and mr x were planning to get a dog from a rescue but then heard of a litter of pups born and ready to go and got one of them instead - poor rescue dog waits again..........

that's not the fault of the breeder but the person who is being fickle and changing their mind as to whether to get a rescue or a puppy!
If all puppy farmers and byb stopped breeding then there would be far greater demand than supply.

personally i think breeders should be registered and only allowed to breed x amount of litters per year

i also think that any acidental and byb litters should be fined - and all dogs should be chipped - so you know where they are from

that would solve q lot of problems

i also think dog owners should have a lisence - like dog owners - e.g if a dog fowls - and you dont pick it up and your caught - 3 points - 6 or 12 points and you get fined... alot of money

All my puppies have been sold to people who were on my waiting list. If they'd changed their minds and got a rescue one instead I'd have been fine about it If, however, someone was going to get a rescue but then came to me out of the blue to buy one of my pups they'd go home empty handed The majority of people on my lists have to wait for 12 to 18 months from the time I let it be known that I'm planning a litter to the time the puppies are ready to go.

However - the very situation you have described could and probably does happen with people who breed for breedings sake - i.e. those people who have one litter from their pet dog.

I certainly agree that all dogs should be chipped or rather all puppies before they are sold. That way you should (hopefully) get a chain of where the dog started from if it turns up!

Actually I'd agree with that Suze. I don't think they'd have a problem with me going over any limits - my most recent litter are 10 years old now

Dog licensing was scrapped years ago because it didn't work,can't see it working second time aound.

I think Education of the general public is the key,but some people just can't be educated and you get more sense out of talking to a brick wall.

Personally I would like to see tighter restrictions on breeding advertising and the sale of dogs.

We also have to remember that a rescue dog is not always suitable for some people/families.

yeah exactly - if a dog got loose imo the owner should be fined or have acaution off the police - if my dog escaped - thats my fault- so i shoudl be fined to be more responsible
