Ha ha that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time, a ho dog! Some people will go to extreme lengths to make a poster look like a benefit scrounger but saying a dog is being prostituted is the best one yet

Somebody else has the boy dog and gets paid for the boy dog to do the deed. P rostituion is what it is, and the person reaping the financial rewards is the pimp.

Good luck gemma1979. I hope your lovely little dog has a healthy pregnancy and lots of bouncing bundles of joy!

I have to say that even though you only wanted some benefits advice you have been treated very badly on the board. To be honest I'm sad to say that the Benefits forum on MSE is the last place I'd ask about my benefits entitlements. There are a fair few keyboard warriors on here that lay in wait for the unsuspecting claimant and then go out of their way to accuse them of being scroungers. It's a very sad way to get your thrills if you ask me. Everytime I see a new post by someone on benefits I cringe knowing what's going to happen...

I won't go into the in's and out's of dog breeding in this thread because anyone who knows me on here will know my views, but OP you are talking about breeding your dog next year. Are you so convinced that you won't get a job before then? And if not, why not?

How do you know I do not have a job??

And what has it got to do with anything??

And since when do I have to explain myself to you??

Caroline_a

No job was ever mentioned, only benefits. Hence the 'assumption' that you had no job, as I would have thought that you might have mentioned it as part of your original query.

You ask what it has to do with me... well since you posted on a forum that I and many others use and asked a question, that's what it has to do with me, and in addition my taxes pay towards your benefits.

The implication by your posts is that you have no intention of finding additional income, only by breeding your dog.

gemma1979

First of all you can claim benefits and be working. Those on a low income can also claim benefits. So one should not always 'assume'.

Secondly, where in my thread have I stated the intention of not wanting to find additional income (only by breeding my dog)?? Another assumption.

I did not say it was not your business per se I said since when do I have to explain my affairs and reasons for them to you. I asked a question relating to do breeding and any income effects on benefits not my current affairs. On the paying tax basis, I also pay tax as do many millions of people...does that mean everyone who receives benefits has to justify themselves to millions of people they do not know. This is the governments business only.

People are so quick to judge...and largely on ASSUMPTIONS...which is all you have made.

You asked how your benefits would be affected, without giving a proper picture. Expect assumptions.

As a matter of interest, I'm with Chameleon. I don't agree with breeding dogs purely for making money which appears to be your modus operandi anyway.

I do not have to give a low down on my life in order for the question of the effect on benefits to be answered. Benefits have the same rules regarding income/capital whether claimed by someone in work or out of work. If they claim benefit it will be affected in the same way.

Where, again, on my thread have I mentioned breeding dogs purely for the purposes of making money? Another assumption. I have stated all along I do not want to get into a business of breeding dogs for monetary gain I said I was considering my pug having one litter It is something I am interested in regardless of money whether money was involved or not I have not even said whether I was going to breed her I said I was CONSIDERING the idea of and on a fact finding mission in order to reach a decision upon this. To reply to this thread with such statements is such a leap and bound away from the initial query because yet again people like you and chameleon are so quick to make assumptions and judgments.

I believe that Gemma gave all the detail required in order for an informed answer to be given, her personal situation wasn't, and shouldn't be, held up for public scrutiny, questioned, or assumptions (based on little or nothing) formed.

There are lots of things that I don't agree with, people trafficking, child abuse, drug dealing, ad nauseum. However, the purpose of this forum isn't a platform for any of those, only benefits & tax credits.

She has definitely said she is not breeding her dog to make money, she even suggested she might give them away (which is NOT advised, you can't be sure people are prepared enough for the commitment without a fee imo). She is breeding her dog primarily because of its excellent pedigree, excellent health tests and excellent temperament. It is only snobby show breeders that would say it needs to have a room full of rosettes won by the !!!!! before being bred. She has the support and knowledge of a show breeder too.
