glemhaith Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes I read the line wrong originally but around 70 were bred and registered Australia wide last year . The figures are on the ANKC website. According to my reading of the ANKC document as it appears on their website the numbers for Skyes born in 2011 were a grand total of 8 ,2010 saw 21 Skyes born, 2003 (12), 2005 -(5), 2001-(1), 2002 (14). etc 2010 -(21) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Those figures are only for those that were registered with the ANKC, yes? There is at least one "breeder" who is crossing them with other breeds... who knows how many they may be producing that just aren't registered with the ANKC... T.

And if this person used to be ANKC, the skye breeders will know who he/she is and what is being produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 So is this little boy definitely pure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 So is this little boy definitely pure? How would anyone know? But its unlikely he is from a registered breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redinbrin Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If this is the case. Particularly if the breeder in question is registered it would be in the best interest of this rear breed for this individual to be reported to the appropriate canine council in their state. This contravenes canine control rules and ethics. Amanda Westie Rescue QLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixeduppup Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If the breeder isn't registered it's not against the law to breed your dog. If they are a reg breeder how is it a reportable offence that a dog you sold ended up in the pound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redinbrin Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 have a read of rules of any canine council and I think you will find it is against rules to cross unless you have permission to do so. I'm sure you would not agree to cross a wheaten willingly. Like all rare breeds they need responsible custodians. Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda oh sorry I thought you were talking about the dog being in the pound, not the reg breeders cross breeding. That's idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I completely agree with you, I think there was a suggestion that this is an ex-registered breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glemhaith Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I am a registered breeder .Skyes have been a part of my life for 18 years,my partner has had Skyes for 35 years. When I say I am a registered breeder I have bred one litter in that time 5 years ago ,I may breed another litter in the next year or two. If this is a n ex registered breeder and people have the knowledge that this is happening I find this ( the act of this person abominable....also if there is someone that openly knows of this activity then I can safely say that ANY of the 11 registered breeders on dogsonline would love to know.....after all we all have the same end interests at heart. This type of behaviour is not accepted by Skye people.We are only custodians of this truly amazing breed, We really do keep track of dogs as best we can ,having so few bred each year it is quite easy to keep track of, We have a wonderful Worldwide Skye terrier data base monitored from every country operateed from Finland. Being the rarer breed that they are they do not ,nor should not fly under the radar ,If any persons knows of any skye in any shelter pound institution etc please contact any Skye breeder,also a National rescue number will be added to dogsonline page with in the next coming days.Also if any person or persons knows of crossbreeding and neglect of any Skye. Could the person that knows of this please elaborate on this statement, How long has this been going on ? What area? If this is an ex breeder this will not take long to attend to, as we, like our dogs are a very small gene pool and are quite easily identifiable. I have been in contact with Blacktown pound,I will be speaking to them again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shmoo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks for getting in touch with me today glemhaith. I ended up going to the pound this afternoon just to meet this boy and he is so adorable! I sat on the ground with him and he sat with me, leaning on me getting pats. I have attached a quick photo I took with my phone. He is somewhat matted but won't require shaving. The pound staff scissored around his face already. He is desexed and wearing a collar with "National Pet Register" tag attached. Judging by his teeth he does appear around 1 - 2 years old as per his impound details.

shmoo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How adorable is that face! Poor baby, he looks so miserable. He was actually really playful when he came out of the kennel, but he quickly quietened down and had this sad face. He wasn't interested in me through the wire of his pen and only got up and said hello after joining in on a barking choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
