Thought cd ers may be interested in this....
Cant believe how grotty the kennels look.

"We left here at 3pm and were out for the rest of the day, and we were hardly going to come back home as we were getting married.
Mrs Cross and her husband Ronnie arrived home from their wedding at 11.45pm to find only three of their ten dogs had been left behind."

No-one checked on the dogs in that time :-(

Theft, or rescue?  

"the first person to successfully breed the snoodle in this country"    speechless!

I hope the dogs are safe and well-cared for.  

First thing she did was go and change her dress, before catching the three left behind . My dress would have been the last thing on my mind........

Same here.

Although, I do think that my own dogs would have been more difficult to avoid than catch, they'd have been so relieved to see me!

I feel sorry for anyone who has had their dogs stolen it's an awful thing to happen, but blimey I agree, they weren't exactly living in luxury were they? Neither breed is so big it cannot be in the home, I personally would not have either of those breeds living outside, especially two pregnant bitches in those kennels, poor things.

Also, she got rid of two of the remaining three so that she could have one indoors, why couldn't all three come indoors if she feared for their safety? Yep, that's a real dog lover for you...... not! Normally I would feel very upset for the person but I can't feel the love from her, for her animals at all.......

Just hope that the poor dogs are going to be ok. It is so scary not knowing what type of person took them. I must admit I would worry about leaving any dogs kenneled in this day and age, so many nasty people about.

I thought the kennels looked more like puppy farm kennels than a proper breeder´s kennels.  As has been said, you´ve had the wedding so sod the ruddy dress, where the h*ll are my dogs would be my main thought.

The fact they bred designer crossbreeds instantly puts them in the puppy farmer category in my book.

Oh it does does it? a youtube search for - 'UK kennel club' -  seems to bring up an abundance of the consequences of the UKs largest puppy farming commercial adventurer!

The you tube link is surely incorrect as to the facts, the UK KC does have compulsory health testing for certain breeds(as required by the breed clubs)for example you cannot register puppies from a CLAD carrier Irish Setter-something that has been in place well before the PDE program & before the FCI similar ruling.

Because the KC is a club does not have the same powers as the FCI, they cannot enforce compulsory health testing rules without the co-operation of the Breed Clubs & their (KC)members & in some breeds the breed clubs/(KC)members are the ones with their heads in the ground

They are(with the co-operation of their club members)changing the health testing regulations slowly(more slowly than those concerned with the dog's health like)

Also there are compulsory and recommended health tests for all Kennel Club Assured breeders whenever appropriate for the breed.

Kennel club registration itself is simply a register of ancestry (like the one for human births) not anything else.

It is why those who like to criticise pedigree breeds can get ammo, as the ancestry is known, and problems can sometimes be eventually traced that way, and if occurring more often can be attributed as a breed disposition.

the crossbreed on the other hand rarely has a traceable history so where issues are coming from cannot be so easily monitored or attributed.
