Responding to a members post and to all my BLF friends.
As most of you are aware and most of you have probably read my response to a fellow BLF member regarding having to have the pups eyes tacked.
I would just like to clear things up.
Myself my wife two boys aged 13 and 16 are animals mad, we have two 9 year old lurchers which were rescued, we have a rescued miniature sharpie now 4, and over the past year we have rescued 3 sharpies from a kill zone in Europe, one of the sharpies is around 70% blind, we paid all fees to have them transported from Europe to Scotland, we had all the government checks done, passports micro chips, vet bills everything.
We are not breeders of any kind, we are a family in a very fortunate position who can afford to give a group of dogs a chance at life.
I am very fortunate to have a fantastic career which allows us to have a 4 bedroom extended house with gardens so these dogs can enjoy life, and it gives us pleasure to see it.
As you know our wee sharpie Paris had 4 pups, sadly 1 of them didn't make it however she has 3 lovely wee pups which needed their eyes tacked (very common thing in this bread due to their wrinkles).
We had to have this done just now so their wee eyes could open, they might need it done again, time will tell.
When Paris was in season we took all precautionary measures, even installed baby gates at separate doors to separate her from the male sharpie, accidents happen though...
If we do sell the pups all money raised will go to a nominated dog charity to help other in need. We are very much involved in charities...
Since we have had the pups we have been looking at selling our current house, something even move bigger for the dogs.
I feel I have to respond to the BLF member and to all of you also, so no one gets the wrong idea about us, I just wish the BLF member would have contacted me direct before shouting off and accusing me of all sorts, that's life though.
PS
The pups are done well and so is Paris
