Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?
I don't doubt the love ceecee but as a family who have made decisions to make it work for the dogs too I find it hard to see one left home all day alone. I have since I married and we made that first decision to get a dog only worked part time or opposing hours to my husband. He works days I do the nights, that way the dogs have someone home all the time.As I said I know things happen and accidentally you can end up having to work but don't chose to take a dog into a working home unless you can make it work for the dog.
I don't love mine more than anyone else I realise that but I do make their needs top priority, they don't chose us we chose them.

These are not pets but dogs that have been abandoned on the streets or just semi feral dogs .

There is also a growing trade in importing puppies for sale from Eastern Europe .
We don't know how true their health certificates are ?
Surely this is dangerous .

Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?
It seems to be a growing trend. I've noticed even long established rescue centres are offering these dogs for adoption. It would put me off if their history isn't known.There's not many (British origin) small cross breeds anywhere, it seems to be mostly big dogs and bull terrier types. Makes me wonder where they've been rescued from.

You always seem to be so keen on "extermination", there are other options you know.
