Yes Roxy, I agree and said this in post 3.
Of course that could only be done with pedigree dogs though, and not all these 'designer dog' crossbreeds being churned out too.

It's surprising how many people think a crossbreed will be healthier too. They don't seem to think that it won't if it was bred from unhealthy parents with hereditary faults!

It's a nightmare nowadays, with so many crooks about.
Even so-called pedigrees can have false paperwork so checking the paperwork can be dicey even.
I used to know someone who often provided false paperwork with her puppies, and the buyers hadn't a clue.

Mrs LD also researched for months before we got Murtagh. Mind you, it is said they are not 'Barkers'.

I remember hearing something similar during war time when dogs were put down because they could not be fed.

Yeah, he doesn't look exactly thin and starving himself, does he! Those poor dogs are probably for his own freezers, anyway.
