Why? Because no ethical breeder would ever supply puppies to a third party seller, all dealers of puppies have to buy their puppies from puppy farms and commercial breeders. Pet Plan should not be suporting this trade by offering them insurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-80651040125312122202009-06-21T23:14:22.517+01:002009-06-21T23:14:22.517+01:00Perhaps need a couple of people to agree to keep a...Perhaps need a couple of people to agree to keep an eye on it, and then to report back here, or better maybe, one person to copy the page and make it available elsewhere so we can all see it but without actually going onto their site. anyone techie could do this?<br /><br />welliewellie bootsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-81913835601348844592009-06-21T09:49:36.466+01:002009-06-21T09:49:36.466+01:00just remember - everytime we click on this dreadfu...just remember - everytime we click on this dreadful company we push it up the search ratings.

This group supply 'pedigrees' for non-KC registered dog, on the basis that the KC only deal with show - what about all the obedience, agility, working trials, etc, dogs? So, who proves their pedigree - doesn't pedigree dog mean purebred? Are they DNA tested? They advertise stud dogs as young as 12 months - too young for some health checks to have been carried out. They also provide on their drop down menu the facility to advertise a bulldog cross on their pedigree stud dog listing!!! This lot seriously need looking into too in my opinion.Colliegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896211407473281358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-67369114139346092472009-06-19T14:26:28.503+01:002009-06-19T14:26:28.503+01:00We've just added PetPlan's comment - see t...We've just added PetPlan's comment - see the original blog.Beverley Cuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544804932989118884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-17937562435807054342009-06-19T13:17:21.147+01:002009-06-19T13:17:21.147+01:00We must try and do something about this - I've...We must try and do something about this - I've left a comment on their website (questioning where the puppies come from and asking where they are kept) - maybe if we all do that it would be a start - but obviously a much bigger campaign to outlaw the sale of puppies (or any living creatures come to that) as if they are mere commodities. Maybe a first step would be to ban the sale online (so at least people would have to make the effort to visit somewhere). The website is very appealing and I'm sure a lot of people will be reassured that they are a responsible organisation and will buy from them. As Chapstaff says, we've all made impulse buys (which we've regretted later) - and how much easier to do so when buying online!! I wonder how many of these poor puppies will end up in rescue ... or how many good intentioned novice owners will end up with a dog they love to bits who has all sorts of health and/or behavioural problems... Very depressing.
