    Please don't be offended, as they say it takes allsorts, but that latest one has a face only a mother could love! What a weird looking wee dog!

    Ah but that's what they're doing now, Cleopatra, creating their own new "designer" doggies, so you can buy something exotic no one else would have!

    This is the saddest looking dog I think I have ever seen. I have noticed a lot of puppies being sold are in wales.

    hee hee. poor little mite, I thought he was quite sweet. No not looking for anything 'designer' just looking at general breed temperaments and matching.

    I am ready to get to bed, I have become slightly obsessed and have been researching and looking all day. I will call up some rescue centres tomorrow and give them my situation and see if they have anything suitable for me, or keep me in mind

    yeah - as tempting as it is to buy one of these poor pupsters and give them a good home, ultimately every time people do this they keep them in business... wish puppy farming was banned tbh

    Aww God love it! Poor wee thing. Mind you my dog looks like that half the day, 'cos she's knackered running about like a mad thing the rest of the time!

    Surely the way the !!!!!.es are kept is classed as animal cruelty and RSPCA can react?

    Getting the RSPCA to do anything is like pushing water uphill in my experience!

    Dogs Trust are excellent - we got our new pup there when she was 7 weeks old and she is now 13 weeks old. They offer help over the phone 7 days a week, the price to fully vaccinate and neuter the dog is included in the price ( we paid £80.). If your local dogs trust do not have any dogs you are interested in or if you want a puppy they take your details and call you when one is available.
