    No idea where you can find them ...but are you SURE you want two pups in one go?

    They are an awful lot of work. Have you raised pups before?

    eh... or not...


    Buy and Sell is not the place to find a pup.

    Not all breeders in the buy and sell are bad - but a lot of the dogs will have been bred in poor conditions etc! A good breeder will show you all the pup as well as the mother & in some cases you will see the father. However I will say that a rescue society will be the best place - not only are you helping an unwanted dog but you can guarantee that the dog/pup has had a full health check etc.

    In fairness, after going to an international dog show on Saturday, I have absolutely no idea what a 'good breeder' is anymore. The judges seemed to be picking out the most horrible dogs ever. The German Shepherds were practically crippled with their sloping backs. I love whippets, but the winning whippets were chunky (looked fat to me) and also had this unnatural back end on them. The daschunds are ruined with their over long backs and short legs. I just dont get it! Surely we should be entrusting good breeding to these so called experts.
