Most City and State run shelters hand over pure bred dogs to the National clubs. Owners will contact the national or regional clubs if they need help and cannot locate the dog’s breeder. One for pure bred dogs is through the AKC National Breed clubs. Yes, there are some very reputable Rescue organizations. What is happening now that there is a vacuum from the closure of Pet Stores, vilification of pure bred dog breeders and the American public wanting a purebred dog with the idea of personal fulfillment of a Rescue. So lets look at what has happened to Rescue in the last 20 years. If you thought the conditions in the US were bad, I do not even want to think …! Yes, they ship about 1 million dogs a year into the US! There are NO regulations on these Kennels. Many kennels are also located in Mexico, Ireland, Russia, Korea, Philippines, Singapore and China. The add for the Cavalier puppies here is from Singapore. Many have closed or moved their operations to Mexico or Asia. They also have Animal Activists on their tails too. USDA has enacted such strict rules on Large Scale Industrial Dog Breeders and Centers that they are very costly to operate. These individuals are now getting higher dollar rates for their puppies selling direct to the public, tax free with 501C and with no responsibilities or accountability. Many of the Retail Rescue Groups are now actually owned by previous Puppy Mill owners. Now, if I say ‘I occasionally breed and show dogs’ I have had people turn their backs, walk away, had one leave the Dental Office and another I honestly thought was going to slap me! Why? Many years ago when my grandfather and godfather would say in conversation they were Dog Breeders and showed in Field Trials, Obedience and Dog shows, people had total respect and would ask questions and inquire about their hobby. Lucky, aka The White Deaf Dumpster Kitty believes he is a Cavalier. Sometimes it is more difficult to get her out!! Her main goal in life maintain the whelping box temperature when not in a sunny spot! The mums all know that they leave on break, Nako snuggles in to keep the babies warm. Nako, which means Cat in Japanese is now 13 years young. All our puppies/dogs are microchipped and have our name as final contact so they always have a forever home.Īnimals wether rescued, pure bred, mix breed or special needs can bring so much joy into your life! LynWood as well as all my co-breeders take back any puppy/dog that we have ever bred if the owner is not able or willing to take care of them during their lifetime. Sue assumed all the bills and cared for the girl as if it were her own. She unfortunately had late stages of oral cancer and passed just two short weeks after her loving owner. This year Sue, my co-breeder gave respite and hospice care to a lovely older Ruby Cavalier girl whose elderly owner passed. Spiked eggnog for me! So far this year it has been a Goat, a Horse and a Kitten. I currently have 3 rescued Cats and now a 4th called Merry Christmas who found my rural country front porch in a snow storm on… yep… Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas who was less than 2 lbs was given a bowl of warm milk (formula) and a heating pad. So why did I write this? Because everyone always asks me! Some as a test to see if I am a pure bred dog snob or others to see if I agree with a philosophy and or their morals.įirst, let me say I firmly believe in rescuing animals! I have rescued so many over the past 30 year I can’t begin to count! All breeds and all ages. This is an extremely controversial topic.
