JRTs for adoption

Posting on behalf of a fellow dog-lover. I cannot utter anymore comments on the mentality of such breeders...their thinking is beyond me. It is plainly profit overriding the welfare of living sentient beings.

We've checked and verified that this breeder has the licence to breed. Until the regulations on breeding are reconsidered in depth by the authorities and there is an assuring clamp-down on indiscriminate breeders by the authorities, breeding remains the playground of individuals entirely unsuited and uneducated in this area. Of breeding dogs who may never see the light of day. Of puppies killed simply cos they are borned deformed or 'ugly' and don't fulfil industry standards. Of bitches given jabs to make them breed more, breed longer.

All these are happening right now, right under our noses. When should we start relooking at the regulations on breeding? Actually, looking is just the beginning. Implementation will show true sincerity in wanting a change.

Hi all,

These dogs are from breed farm. The lady, Irene, tried to befriend the breeder by providing free grooming service to the dogs. She learnt that the breeder wanted to put these dogs to sleep because (Pug and Rhodesian Ridgeback cannot give birth after 4 years) (JRT not according to some standard, they are only 1 - 2 years old), so she is helping to rehome the dogs.

So poor thing, I called her, because I love pugs and wanted to adopt the pug. But just learnt from Irene that the breeder is no longer willing to let the Pug and the other dog go, 'cause husband still want to try to breed them, by giving them jabs. (So bad). But the JRT are still up for adoption.

Too bad I cannot consider JRTs, they are too active for me and for my 2 dogs. Can you help to ask around if any of your friend can help to adopt? According to Irene, they are quite young only 1 - 2 years old, friendly to people. But would need some training to adjust to home life. For more details on the 2 JRTs please write to Irene's email address
