Puppy farms really disgust me they arent breeding because they love the breed its simply for profits and it enfuriates me! my mum bought her male golden cocker 'bobbi' from a gent who had no time for him, we later found out hed sold him to us with the beginning of mange (but thats a whole other story) anyway he had bought bobbi as 'Bailey' off an elderly lady who had bought him from somewhere in Lincolnshire called Belville Babies ... he has no kc papers just a pedigree paper, we suspect Belville Babies is a puppy farm ... so by the age of 6 month old he had, had 3 owners and had been left atleast 3 months with mange hidden by his long coat which had begun balding... my mum had him treated at a massiv cost and has since found out he has alot of genetic defects too as a result of inbreeding ... these puppy farms make me sick and they should all be closed down...

The only reference I can find for the company you mention is your own two posts mentioning the name within this forum.

If you have a case, go investigate it.

But at the moment you appear to be the only person mentioning that name on the internet, do you have the right spelling?

It might infuriate you but spelling makes a huge difference in getting your message across.

Hi
What's the pedigree paper that came with him?

When I bought my so called pedigree lab, he came with Dogs Lovers Registration and to be honest it is worthless. Some of the information on it was mispelt and the address was a mishmash of places in Carmarthenshire.

Like you and others I can't find this breeder either.

There are lots of websites for lots of different breeds - whether 'pure bred" or "cross-bred" and one thing some puppy farms haven't understood is that people can now cross-reference websites; the owners and the locations on-line.

The internet can not only "help" puppy farmers but it can also "expose" them !

If you are worried that a particular breeder may be breeding more than they claim then monitor their site. Download / print off a page at a given date and do the same every couple of weeks - you can create a picture that way of how many puppies they have. Changing a bitches name to hide that she may be bred back-to-back is easy. But if a breeder claims to only have 10 bitches then in the real world she should have no more than 10 litters a year !!!!!!!!!

If enough people are concerned (and this site appears to be frequented by like-minded people) then even a polite call to the breeder that they are being watched has proven to be enough to make someone pull their socks up !

This will not stop hardened puppy farmers but it will deter a few and a few is better than none.....for now.

thankyou for the Exposing puppy farms comments i have used some of the links as im in the middle of complaing about a farm my dog came from and the rspca havent done much so your links were very helpful thanks again.

It is the councillors and Assembly Members who need educating.

As long as puppy farming is classed as diversification in farming and councils give planning permission to farmers, for 107 breeding bitches and 21 stud dogs, IMO it will never be controlled or stopped.

And we are educating them often, we were invited to speak to the animal health team again this year and went to Carmarthen to have input into new legislation, just as we did last year. All AM's have been sent our film and documentation as have DEFRA and many MP's
