Want a free Poodle? There is a catch...
They're in Marbella in Spain.
Four Standard Poodle Pups (6 months old) which have had their rabies vaccination
Black, apricot, white or cream
Girls and boys
Owner/breeder: Sharon 00 34658359947
Please give these details to any Poodle lovers you can think of - these pups are FREE. Sharon had 11 pups and has been giving them away but she cannot find homes for these. [2 she got back after finding the new homes were bad] She owns mum who came from reputable breeder in Madrid and dad who she bought from England.
PLEASE CONTACT SHARON DIRECT IF YOU CAN HELP
(Seen a comment asking about testing! This has been passed to me from our Perfect Pup breed advisor, I'm sorry I don't know any more details than I have written here. Health tests that we would advise for this breed are that both parents should be eye tested and they need to be tested for Sebaceous Adenitus. Von Willebrands testing would be a good idea, too. Liver shunt, too is flagged. But I'm not at all sure what the local vet situation is in Spain, how easy it is to get these tests done or indeed Sharon's circumstances. Sounds to me that this is a very large litter that has affected by the credit crunch and the Euro currency problems. There are lots of ex-pats leaving Spain due to UK pensions now being so low value, I suspect the market for dogs in Spain has taken a real dip as lots of dogs are being abandoned according to David the Dogman who has a radio show out there.)

And your point is? You're starting to sound suspiciously like Sirius the nitpicker!
sorry to offend?
I've included this appeal for two reasons. One to try to find these four Poodles good pet homes and two to highlight the fact that when you breed you really do need to have a waiting list. The prospect of having four Standard Poodles left at six months might deter a few people from embarking down the breeding route!
We once had a litter of 12 Beardie pups and in the course of their lives six of them were returned to us. Divorces being the main reason - but significant was the fact we kept in touch and were happy to step in and help when it was needed. But without doing an audit on people's marital health I don't think we learnt anything on how to reduce the odds of home failure from that experience. But with a breed that lives up to 16 years that has a tendency to give birth to large litters you have to factor-in being able to take them back for the next 10 plus years - or indeed keep possibly all of them if enough good homes couldn't be found.
We found those six Beardies wonderful second homes, some stayed for a few months and fitted into the pack until the right home came along, but all were loved and treasured.
These four Standard Poodle pups are born now, there's no turning the clock back. If they were health-tested great, but if not, the new owners will need to factor that unknown in to equation and be sure to insure them PDQ, which would be sensible anyway!
I really do worry about the situation in Spain. I think if I were breeding today I'd want a very, very long waiting list before I'd contemplate it.
