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.????????????????????????????????????????

We are not talking about people losing jobs and going on benefits but people already on them who are struggling yet want to buy more dogs and expensive ones too and then go on to breed and show them (more expense)

People circumstances do change, but if you are already on benefits with no sign of improvements why put more pressure on yourselves?

:scared: crikey and they want another pup!
We had 2 labs and hit VERY hard times and we couldnt the two. I honestly dont know how they can feed 4 dogs aqnd a pup and themselves on benrfits

BUT i hear disability pays well for some..... I know of a few people on disability benefit and live like royalty.

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

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.

I would love to know how, our friends don't.

4 dogs all paid for by xmas and birthday money, dont think so. If that was so why isnt there enough money from benefits to by clothes haircuts and more food.

Right ok, if thats the case then the most they will be on is a couples clain of £103.00 per week, after their own food, bills and dog food what on earth is left to show and breed?
We buy dog food in bulk and it costs us about £45 every 4 months at the moment and thats with (1) dog!
There is no way anyone could affors 5 dogs, food, bills, and everything else on 412.00 per month!

taking aside all the benifits etc... if i was a breeder i would never sell a puppy to someone who has a problem dog. I would advice them to work on that dog first, sort out the problem before even considering a new addition.

I wonder if the breeder is aware of the whole situation the pup will be put in.

[lauren001]

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

 

[harley bear]

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!

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