idun Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I know someone who bought an expensive pedigree puppy about 15 months ago. Their family situation has changed a lot in the mean time and they may not be able to keep this dog.So, would this person be right in expecting someone to pay for their dog? OR would they be expected to be thankful that someone would take it off their hands and give it a new home ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well, in the same vein, I once had a lovely little poupette but I fell on hard times, so, ........or given her away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My feeling is that they will be lucky to find the dog a good home and even then I'd probably do it through a resue organisation .....Everyone is different though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There is probably a breed refuge which will rehome dogs of that type. And I imagine that a freeish young dog would go like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 A breed rescue is a great idea!Btw Battersea charge £135 per dog now.....they aren't exactly giving them away.....but on the other hand the dogs get great attention there.....

Hoddy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 This partly depends on what breed and sex of dog it is. As a sort of footnote if I had to give dog away I wouldn't let the papers go too. One can breed from a registered dog and those puppies would be more valuable than a dog with unregistered parents.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 It isn't to do with the money really, just the family circumstances have changed radically........ I'm sure if someone would give them something for the dog in question, it would be appreciated and if someone does that, effectively wants to buy it, then they would really be buying that paperwork, rather than the dog itself.I'll pass all the info on, thankyou all.
