Just been reading a few reactions to my reply Naturally registered breeders are fearfull they will be prevented from breeding by the RSPCA,(I don't agree with a lot of their rules and practices) but do you want to just sweep the whole issue under the carpet this will just let the puppy farmers go and do what they like.I know illegal practices can never be stopped completely,its the same with reptiles and birds, but if you need a licence number to advertise pups in the paper this should deter a percentage then to register a dog at council it must be proved it came from a registered breeder (now comes the part about all the unregistered dogs around already)which have probably come from backyarders etc anyway. I know that a high percentage of breeders take utmost care to ensure their pups go to a great home.but I also see a few who use a bitch for a few litters then offload them to a loving ''retirement home'' so they can proceed with the next one, the message here is that these dogs are expendable,how many agree with this practice?as I said before I am not a breeder and there may be reasons for this but every dog I or my family has owned has stayed a member of our family until they died. Another issue bought up was hobby and show breeders they are not the ones who are creating the problem.How many of the registered breeders on Dogz on line actually show their dogs.this is where you have to draw the line.If dogs are bred for health and quality not quantity and profit the breeds would benefit, there would still be pups for pet only and if sold either desexed or with a clause to be desexed a a suitable age (again not fool proof) Breeders should be allowed to plan extra litters if they have genuine buyers who have been checked and as I said previously apply for a licence to own that dog. There was mention of RSPCA wanting to cull Rhodesian puppies I take it this has to do with the sinus defect in dogs with the full rose? again I may be wrong but if this is an issue should genuine breeders continue breeding with this problem.The same goes with Blue Staffies there seems to be 2 factions here, the traditional breeders say that it is a diluted pigmant,why then did the breed standards allow them.White Boxers? they don't conform but breeders still want flashy white chests and feet.so they continue to breed the same lines that throw whites.

I can often get supercoat in ripped bags etc for free but have found when I use it my dogs seem to loose condition it may be from changing diet who knows

Im not a breeder but have been a responsible pet owner all my lifeThere has to be some steps taken to stop the needless deaths of thousands of dogs each year which the majority have been bred by puppy farmers and sold with no emotion to whoever has the money. No one has the right to breed animals for sale if they dont take responsability for the future of the pups and the same goes for the buyers,they should have to apply for a licence nominating the breed they want then breeders can take orders before mating their dogs.this would stop impulse buying.The buyer should have suitable facilities before hand.Any one who neglects or ill treats a dog should be banned for life. I know a lot of breeders are worried about gestapo type rules etc but how many think they would be refused a licence if they are responsible. there will be costs involved which can be covered by a fee from each sale. I am not out to deprive anyone the pleasure of owning and loving a dog but I would love to see the day when pounds are only there to reunite lost dogs to their owners or find new owners in rare cases and the big PTS is replaced by adopted. Any one who is against more stringent control should click on the urgent rescue page and picture their loved pets in this situation.

I used polaramine for my staffy with wandering dew allergy and also quit itch lotion.In an emergency once for my boxer with multiple bee stings on the face I gave him a childs dose of claratyne syrup which worked great.

I have been using Scotties for the past 15yrs approx'its a cooked roll origanally made up by a greyhound trainer and you feed a smaller portion for the same results as other foods The kibble I use is called boomer I don't have a bag at the moment to see who makes it but my dogs thrive on both and you can see the difference in their condition and the lawn deposits if I feed other brands.My boxer almost 13 has eaten it since a puppy and still has a good proportion and coat our previous boxer lived to 12 also tho she started on it later but the difference was remarkable she toned up quickly and seemed more energetic,I'm interested to hear if any one else uses it
