How much would I get.. a single mum with two kids under 16.. will I be able to afford to go and buy a new horse.. miss em dearly I do.. and while I am working I just cannot afford to get one and pay for it every week.. :/

 

I some areas it would cost all of £650 a month to rent the two bed bungalow that they say they live in.

 

I have no idea how anyone has money to 'put aside' when your on benefits? I know we didnt have ANYTHING left at the end of each week!

 

I am coming over to the UK to sign on and spend all day with my precious dogs and then show and breed! What a life!

Good luck it's not an easy task getting any money out of the stingy government.

 

Are you saying that old people are scrounging off the state then.??????????????

Define old ?
My 85 year old M-I-L still runs and works full time in her own laundry service business , my 78 yr old Dad still works part-time in a fishing tackle shop

 

Good luck it's not an easy task getting any money out of the stingy government.

Pardon!! £650 a month +/- rent and council tax.

 

Here is all of our dog food bought with money we have put aside:

1 full 35 L Box + 1 half full box 35 L Box + 1 3.5 L Box - Royal Canin

Half full 80 L Box - Simpsons

and where is your food or are you still on the royal canin?

 

The rent will be paid for and all the council tax.

dont forget free prescriptions and dental care:thumbup:

I know we couldn't afford a horse sorry you'll just have to have more kids to get one

 

So if we want to have dogs budget to keep them, and go showing them with the aid of family at shows where it costs £1.50 per class at the Great Harwood Show. So your saying that even people on the dole shouldn't be able to afford £3 to enter an open dog show then.

Those aren't the sort of dog shows you need to go to to prove she's worthy of breeding.

It's a bit academic anyway, considering the owner of the first stud dog you planned to use refused saying Alaska wasn't good enough to breed from and you should get her spayed!

Shetlandlover's response calling them a 'w*****r' says it all says it all!
You have no intention of doing anything properly, you just want to breed and if the tax payer has to pay for it you seem to think that it is your right.

c'mon you cant complain really can ya? If you live on a benefit then i dont think you have a right to complain tbh, you get money to live on wich is a hell of a lot more than some countries would do for you.

Aye its a wonderful life!

 

What other pets do you have?

I am all in favour of the benefits system to help those who need help during times they need it, but people like you take the p***.

Apparently they are not in receipt of disability And lets not forget them planning to breed...

Well, if it's not disability or carers allowance then it must be income support or job seekers allowance.
And it won't be just £650 a month - they will get their rent and council tax paid!

The rent and council tax is probably paid for them so the £650 is for food and bills.

 

I felt sorry for op at the start of this thread..... now im just getting slightly peeved

Yeah thats true i guess should be greatful but will my conditions i should be getting way more money it's a travesty that i'm not, they just simply don't believe my but don't seem to want to meet me to see for themselves.

BTW if you cant tell i'm being sarcastic then poor you.

Being a single mum is no easy task.... And I didn't plan out for it to be this way.. but I dealt with what has happned.. in my time having been put in a refuge with my kids and everything else we have gone through.. we didn't choose it.. But we have held out heads up hi and dealt with it...
You dont see the point I am a single mum could quit my job and I know for a fact would be better off.. Getting everything paid.. But I have my pride, and I will always have it because I make an effort!

 

That is just being over-dramatic for effect.

However some people do need to make hard choices, if it is impossible to keep dogs on the income you have, then sometimes there is no option but to try and rehome and if that is not an option then dogs do get put down unfortunately.
A medium sized dog costs about £2500 a year to keep well, so do the math.

Not intending to go off topic, but £2.5k for a medioum sized dog does sound a little O.T.T.

I keep two medium sized dogs (weimys aged 3 & 10 They are fed in my view an extremely good diet, albeit I buy in bulk, Currently food is costing me around £1000 pa for both and that includes supplements, Insurance for both on top of that is around £500pa - we do not have, kenneling, walking, nor grooming to pay! Only having the lepto annually now so that is negligable, worming and fleeing for both is I think £70pa (don't do during winter and NEVER seen so much as a speck of flee poo on either of em!)

Training was costly as was paying £18 a hour for the youngest - but that is a luxury that many would not incur! Showing was costing me only around a fiver a week - but only did Newark Showground! and ringcraft used to cost me about £1.50. We always take them away with us - and that can cost £3 per night each depending on which site we are on.

All in all would struggle to add up all we spend to £2.5k each pa each and I really believe mine have the best of everything! They have very expensive beds - but they were one off costs, vet bed I pick up at shows aas and when at around $14 for a largish peice! Think thats it really.

But then I am always buying them toys which I never account for.

BUT! that said - Misty DID cost me over £11k in two years on vets bills - so if anyone gets stumped with costs like that then that is another kettle of fish!

Sorry to have gone off track! maybe this in another thread! How much do you spend on your dog a year

 

Question?????????????????????

So you are employed and have a good job and own a dog.

Now if you loose your job, or you are now retired and are on a state pension are suppose to rehome your dog/s or just take them to the vets and have them killed.????????????????????????????????????????

If you work then save when you have money for the times when you maybe wont , even if its only a few quid a week , it soon adds up

and if you need help from the dole then take it, but dont abuse it , thats all im saying :thumbup:

 

Yeah thats true i guess should be greatful but will my conditions i should be getting way more money it's a travesty that i'm not, they just simply don't believe my but don't seem to want to meet me to see for themselves.

Dont get cockey mate! There is no need what so ever! If you dont like the raw truth then dont post such a pathetic thread! Woe is me!

Your not the only one, i was reading the thread last night and i couldnt believe how tolerant everyone was tbh.

All I've every heard you post is excuse after excuse.

but will my conditions i should be getting way more money it's a travesty that i'm not

Jeez

I've always thought that yours and shetlandlovers posts don't add up.

You do need help, but that help is not in the form of more money and it's not more pups

 

Your not the only one, i was reading the thread last night and i couldnt believe how tolerant everyone was tbh.

Its the good honest decent people in this world that always finish last! But if you know how to screw the system then your already miles ahead
