Dog Breeders of Ireland

Cipher

I have reported multiple ad's from the wexford area, selling small breed dogs with the same contact number.

Normally yorkies, JRT's like that.

Similiar breed being advertised is usually a turn off but just make sure you visit the premises, and like what you see.

Before you pick up your pup, i would suggest you keep in regular contact with the breeder, this should give a good indication of what kind of support you could get in the future.

Ultimately, just because a dog is IKC registered, does not make a healthy pup, it never will under the current guidelines for registering pups.

You should receive a form with the microchip number listed, but as far as i am aware, microchipping does not even have to be carried out by a vet.

Best of luck with your puppy

I am looking for a female chocolate or black miniature poodle. I will be contacting the Poodle Club and the IKC first thing on Tuesday morning. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone knew of poodle puppies for sale or if anyone could recommend a good breeder.

Many thanks

Hi
so I saw my pup and all is well
very healthy and happy - only 5 weeks old but very very cute. Mum and Dad viewed also - full of beans and clearly healthy dogs.
Happened to be two litters two weeks apart, four pups in each but only 2 mums and one dad.
The pups were advertised on donedeal.ie so I guess the moral of the story is - go and see them before writing pups off as being farmed! I was pleasantly surprised anyway.

Only 4 weeks til the baby comes home!!!

True, if your lucky. Some, once you have parted with your money just ignore you if you have an issue. No matter how genuine they seem or are.

I've bought my first and last pup, next one will be rescue as my other 2 are.
Too many greedy people out there not willing to take responsibility.
At least I know when I go to my local rescues that the support will be there and any problems will be dealt with.

Whatever breed a pup is a pup at the end of the day and it's the way you bring them up that matters.

Bound to be some breeders who are 100% but I'll take my chances with rescues from now on.

As far as dog breeders go, one of the best places (as originally posted in 2002!) is the Irish Kennel Club (whose contacts will have changed since then, so it's worth checking back regularly).

Club Secretaries are a great place to start - most, if not all of them, are involved with breeders who also show/ exhibit/ train their animals. Also, this isn't to put down people who aren't in the showing community, but the vast majority of show people are very aware of and very concerned with the more prevalent health concerns of whatever breed it is they "specialise" in - thus, these people take great care when breeding as most breed for themselves and sell whatever is left out of their litters (and, obviously, don't want to be breeding problems for themselves).

Take German Shepherd dogs, for example. Most people are aware that GSDs can have hip dysplasia... however, because the showing community is aware of this (and dogs who have bad hips are graded poorly, and are not recommended to be bred from), they try their best to stay clear of this problem and typically choose dams and sires with very low hip scores or good german (S.V.) gradings. As a result, although the problems cannot be wiped out entirely, the people in the show community who breed dogs are tyring their best to eliminate these health problems (and that goes right across the board, for all breeds).

Anyone buying a pup from a breeder should ALWAYS ask to see the dam (and the sire, if possible). They should ask to see official hip scores, if it is a breed that is concerned about that, or other certificates of health. Any breeder who refuses to show you or tell you the information you're looking for is not worth buying from. Also, if you're concerned about a particular breeder, it may be worth looking into a contract of sale between the two parties (some breeders will provide this automatically, and some will refuse - stay clear of those who refuse). Also, as was mentioned, keep regular contact with the breeder after you're initial meeting... once a week or so text/ phone/ e-mail, especially if you have any questions... the breeder should be willing to help and respond to you... That way you should get a sense of what this person may be like after you have paid the full amount for your new pup. The people who are recommended by Club Secretaries are often very decent. I know within our own Club we have a Code of Ethics our members must follow in relation to breeding GSDs and therefore when we receive calls from people it is our Club members we refer and no one else, as we are not aware of anyone else's practices.

Not all breeders are bad... and you should get a feeling from them when you speak/ meet... if you have any concerns, just go elsewhere... do A LOT of research and check around... there are still good people out there!

Am looking to get a hevanese dog for xmas if anyone could put me in contact with a breeder in ireland somewhere close to dublin that would be great. Thanks

star-pants

Probably unlikely you'd get one before Christmas, have you looked at getting a rescue one maybe?

edit - also I believe they're in the region of €1,100 per pup.

Thanks very much for your reply, have been in contact with women from england since and she is looking for 200 pound for an 8week old hevanes dog, she says its only for the transport of the dog and she isnt looking for money for dog because she says she cant look after the dog anymore that she is doing a dog breeding seminar in liverpoll and dosnt like leaving the dog at home all day?? not sure weather to trust her or not you know? have asked for the number of her vet a few times in the emails but still nothing.. would you have a number to a good rescue center in dublin that mite have what im looking for??

Run a mile... its a scam
Dont give them any information.
This is a well known scam, they tell you that they cant mind the puppy and that they are a doctor, engineer etc etc and that they will have the pup sent over to you by a puppy courier and what they need is 200 and they will pay the other 200 for the shipping.

If you give this person any money you will never see you money again and theres a good chance your credit card will get wiped if you give them those details.


I sent an email a few weeks ago to an add about a puppy for sale in dublin at the normal asking price for that breed (it was advertised on a well known puppy site too), but then i got the same reply that the dog was now in scotland and they would ship it and all they were looking for was the shipping fee etc etc.

Oh thats a scam!!! Please be very careful, a lot of those dogs advertisded online are all scams, so please dont buy any dog like that.
Please research your breeder and go down that route, might mean waiting for a dog but at least you know what you are getting.

Yup +1 on the scam thing.
I know some people don't always like donedeal.ie or such places but you might try that avenue too. If you're looking for a purebred (ie it will cost 1K upwards), you need to see the parents papers, see the parents, see where they live, clean bill of health from vet, vaccinations/microchip details, wormed, their own papers etc.

A genuine breeder will not mind you asking a million and one questions, nor should they mind you going over and having a look at the pups and parents/living quarters.
You do need to be vigilant in these cases so as not to partake in a scam or puppy farmer.

There are a few rescues in Dublin, you have the DSPCA, Ash Animal Rescue (closer to Wicklow), and many more listed http://www.therightdog.org/awolinks.htm

Hi there..
just wondered does anyone know a reliable and responsible Basset hound breeder in Ireland (Dublin in particular).
We had a sad experience of buying one and within a week he died of suspected distemper. We don't know how he caught it, he'd had his first vaccs. and we were very careful with him, only taking him out for "potty training". Vet thinks he could have been incubating it when we got him. We really want to get another one when the time is right, so we would be grateful for any advice.

Try these for Frenchies, i know them from the shows and they are lovely people. But be prepared to pay big money for a frenchie, they start from €1500 and go up to about €2500 for females so they arent cheap.

Also these people aswell:

Again you are talking big money as i enquired with this lady before, prices start from 1500 sterling and upwards.

To be honest, unless your dog is an excellent example of the breed and is health tested then you shouldnt put your dog out to stud.
Can i ask why you want to stud him out?

The best way really is to show your dog and if hes good enough and winning then people come to you to ask to use your dog, not the other way around.

I own a rottweiler and he has been used at stud, but i show him and he does really well and im involved in the Rottweiler Club of ireland. So i would advise getting involved in the club, showing your dog at championship shows and then if hes good enough people will want to use him then.

But that is the best way to go as there are enough dogs being advertised for stud without adding another dog just for the sake of it.

Only dogs which are of excellent quality should be bred from so this will be determined by a breed specialist or at a number of dog shows.

Apparently he IS an excellent example, one of the best I have been told by a judge in fact, his Mum and Dad are Champion dogs, and anyone buying a pup from this couple sometimes call to our home to see our dog before buying.

Yes, I've had someone asking me to use my dog already at a show, he has told me he is one of the best examples of a boxer he has seen in a long time.
Thats what got me thinking about using him at stud.
And as you can see, I'm not sure how to go about it in the right manner.
And your right, I haven't just blindly thrown an ad in the media for him, I want to find out the proper way to breed him first before I go about doing it.

Well if hes as good as you say he is then you should def show him and see how he does and if he is as good then he will eb winning all round him in no time and then you will have people nequiring to use him for stud.

You dont have to use him at stud just because hes a good dog and hes entire. If you do use him at stud then it could change his personality a bit as he will always be intersted in trying to mate with bitches if there some in season in your area and he could turn into a bit of handful.

Tbh there are plenty of boxers out there being used for stud so if you are going to use him then he should be something special so i would advise getting him into the show ring and make him into a champion and go from there.
Please make sure hes health tested for all the problems boxers can suffer from before doing anything.
Get in touch with the boxer club who will give you more info on breeding and health testing as they would be the best people to advise you on all the info you need.

Thanks a mill for your feedback.
Ya, I think bringing him to shows is a good idea and see what happens from there. Im sure if someone is interested in him, they might know a bit about it too.
