Wonderland: Seven pups for Seven people!

[feorag]

that's the one good thing that might hopefully come out of the programme - nothing else good could!

I actually know both of them. I bought a dog of one of them a while back. Good dog, had no probs but them as breeders are ridiculous

Just being nosy.Is your dog's name Cline, or is it a Klein Spitz? Klein being the German word for 'small'.

and she was saying she has a little pom. When she went into a womans house to drop off some stuff she heard something in the cupboard asked what it was and the woman opened the door up and inside was a cage and this tiiiiiny little pom pup. She wouldnt let it out because it wasnt toilet trained - it was covered in poo.

So Kelly (my rep) left a deposit - flew to the bank gave her £500 in all because the woman didnt want a dog anymore and took her home. Shes adorable and spoiled now but I saw photos of how she originally looked the day she was - basically rescued - and it was horrible - Kelly bathed her for 45mins to get all the poo off her and things.

Shes thankfully in a nice home now

Good for her. I'd never be any good in a situation like that as I'd have simply picked up the dog and walked off with it telling the owner she was lucky not to get a wallop, and to call the police if she wanted to as I would be taking it straight to a vet for a proper report, and the police could then call the RSPCA and have her prosecuted.
Breeders have a responsibility too though, to vet potential owners, and refuse a sale if they think something isn't quite right, and insist on a return agreement if things don't turn out right.
Personally, I have no problem at all in saying "I'm sorry but you are not what I'm looking for for one of my puppies" if I am not 100% happy with them either firstly over the phone, and then when they come to view. But then everyone knows I'm a horrible old bag.

Any dog can bite its how its brought up, and judging by the low life that you see walking around with these dogs what do you expect they cant even look after themselves, it really pes me off, sorry for the rant

Watch the programme before you post then as you've got it completely wrong. It was not about the breed per se (in fact they were crossbreds and not pure staffies) and it wasn't about the breed , nor about them biting. It was about the type of council flat chavs who aspire to own and breed this type of dog and how unsuitable the humans are.

If by showing how hard she found it to rehome the pups and in the end had to give them away for free. That her saying she did it to make money and made nothing and how much hassle it was, should just make 1 person think again. Then that would be a good thing.
The staffies were lovely just poor sods had to live in dire conditions and with uncaring people.

If anything I think this might make people think twice about breeding a litter if it shows that they might get stuck with puppies. I doubt it though. Judging by the low intellect of both breeder/her mother/her son and the people who bought the pups, I imagine they are simply too stupid to take in that they might get stuck with them as in their minds, they would just dump the pups, drown the pups, take them to battersea dogs home, or expect a rescue to clean up their mess. It should be against the law for anyone living in a council flat, to own a dog.

And how people breeding these dogs DONT make any money. The breeder(tongue in cheek) was actually giving a price tag to each pup as it was born

One of my students was in it, his mum was the breeder. Now you see what I have to work with
