general woundwort 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Only i would only buy a dog off someone i either know or a pup off dogs i know. It may sound a little daft like but there are plenty of breeders out there that we have all heard of so what would encourage somebody to go to such a farm? I was looking through my local paper just yesterday and found "For sale colliemations 3 weeks, ready to view now"????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just give then a daft fecking name, Labradoodle, Springador, etc, and you can get good money for them these days. Whatever happened to pups from accidental matings being offered 'free to good home?'

Contender 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Weren't most of the dogs in that program bought as 'pure breds'? seem to remember that one was cocker spaniel and the other was a king charles? I guess that people will have to learn that they need to ask the breeder some questions before putting any money down, like paper work, to see the parents and so on. Yesterday, I had a family coming here to have a look at my bitch that is in pup, the sire and one of the dogs that I kept back from the last mating but these people have done their research before the pups are even born...

Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Watched it but still cannot believe that people are stupid enough to part with any money without seeing parents, obtaining a vax card. Like some have already said, proper breeders dont let pups til until they are 8 weeks old, have 1st vax & 6 weeks free ins. That cav king charles didnt look right to start with.If people stopped been so naive they'd go out of business. Best go to some one you know or do without. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

general woundwort 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 When we were thinking about lining our dogs it was because we wanted to keep a couple and had space to keep more, the litter was just about sold before she had them. Everyone that bought a dog had seen both parents and both parents work. I know plenty of genuine dog breeders out there who I have bought dogs off and seen both parents, and almost every time I have seen the pup more than once before taking it home. I just don't get the whole puppy farm idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farlap 19 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 When we were thinking about lining our dogs it was because we wanted to keep a couple and had space to keep more, the litter was just about sold before she had them. Everyone that bought a dog had seen both parents and both parents work. I know plenty of genuine dog breeders out there who I have bought dogs off and seen both parents, and almost every time I have seen the pup more than once before taking it home. I just don't get the whole puppy farm idea sadly these puppy farms are very common. The pups are produced to the lowest possible standard for the least amount of money, and invariably fetch prices that are the same as well bred, lovingly reared, health tested parents, pups from responsible caring breeders. trouble is most of the types who buy them either dont have enough sense to research their breed/breeders 1st...or, more often, they are impulse purchases with little forethought. The day that petshops are stopped from selling puppies will be the 1st day forward in banning puppy farming. The BBC missed a fantastic opportunity with this programme, to educate the public about where to go and find a well bred puppy from health tested parents thats been well raised for the right reasons. Ins tead they decided to tell the public theyd be better of going to the rescue centre. There was a lot of bad information and a lot of opportunities missed with this programme, which was very sad as they really could have done much more if they had researched the issue more carefully and actually spoken with those who know about such things.
