Arroba - Creuse Cybercafe Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi all.We have got 8 puppies that are free to good homes. Started at 10 but 2 have gone off to friends. We live near to Aubusson in Creuse (23) and now work pretty much all of the time in Bourganeuf. It seemed like a good idea at the time to try for puppies but after the mum fell pregnant we embarked on a new business venture and had illnesses in the family. It's not a sob story just didn't want people thinking "grrrr another irresponsible pet owner" [:)]They are coming up to 8 weeks old now and are German Shepherd crossed with Collie/English Setter. The Mum (German Shepherd) is a pure pedigree but ahem the dad (Collie/English Setter) is a total Heinz variety. They have all the markings of a black and tan German Shepherd and some have a white patch on their chests (must be the Collie coming through). Having 3 children of our own they are well used to being handled, totally kept indoors with us right now and I know would make great pets. I am working right now so can't remember 100% without having a peek but I think we have 4 girls and 4 boys remaining.I have tried to get the homed through the SPA at Limoges because we have only heard good things about them but have been directed to the SPA at Gueret of which we have heard mixed things.I will take some photos tonight and attach them in the morning if anyone wants to see.Sorry for such a long winded first post. I hope you made it to the end.Here's hoping to here from someone.For further details please make initial contact by either email or PM.Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 You say you have tried to get them homed through the SPA. I expect you know that the SPA have more than enough on their hands and that many dogs are being put down every day due to overpopulation. Spaying is the only way forward, not litters of puppies, which you may realise by now. I know that the refuge of Limoges is full as are all the others, as I have contacted them to try to save other dogs.I was contacted by an English couple not long ago in the Cher (18), looking for a puppy for company for their rescue Irish Wolfhound. I'll send you their name and number by pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Brent, I sent you a pm yesterday with the name and the number of some people not too far from you who want a puppy. Have you seen it as they have not heard from you and confirm that they are still looking for one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Im not being rude but I do get angry at people who allow their animals to breed and dont expect to look after there lives[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arroba - Creuse Cybercafe Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o154/creusecybercafe/puppies.jpgHere is a picture of one of the puppies. Sorry about the quality, scan of a picture of a scan of a picture and all that.@Tetley - Hope you like the picture.@Christine - Yes. Spoke to the lady and she is having a chat with her husband and getting back to us. Many thanks for that.@Dirty Tom - Many thanks for your kind words of wisdom, although I fail to see what clandestine advertising is ever going to do for finding homes for our puppies. Please note my careful use of the word "through" in your highlighted text. We, like all other dog lovers that give their dogs their family surname have NO intentions of farming off all the puppies with the possibility of them being put to sleep. The only difference now is that after my mum being in intensive care and our new commitents in the cybercafe, we are unable to take all the time in the world only homing them with friends of the family and locals. HENCE the reason for posting on this forum and for contacting the SPA for them to have our details and to pass them on to people who may want to have our puppies. Apologies if my wording was ambiguous but I can assure you and all others that there is a 0% chance of our puppies being put down. Thanks Brent.

Christine Animal Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Did the people I put you in touch with have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroba - Creuse Cybercafe Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi. Yep they took one for a companion to their irish wolfhound but sadly brought it back the next day because their dog wasn't getting on with the new family member. Never mind, thanks for the info though. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well, one day is very short for anyone to adapt to anything! But maybe they thought their dog was dangerous for your puppy, in which case it was perhaps better to bring it back.Maybe as their dog is a male, they would have been better off with an adult spayed female, but they wanted a puppy and a male !

Arroba - Creuse Cybercafe Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I know I totally agree with you there. BUT she was worried about the new puppy and it wasn't a decision she took lightly with a 2 hour drive involved and she was very tearful. So in retrospect I think it was the right decision. Never mind we went from 6 back up to 7 then back down to 6 again. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroba - Creuse Cybercafe Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Just to update. All puppies have now been rehomed and mum has been booked in for the necessary. Thanks to all who got involved. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracteurtom Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'd also be getting that mongrel dad the snip ASAP before he causing any more grief. Should have been done years ago!Shame about the pure alsation though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have just seen these pics. I would look on these "homes wanted" threads but never do because our collie just hates other dogs, although he adores people. I'm posting because when I saw the first puppy it was like seeing my old Loki (collie x GSD)) again - it gave me quite a jolt. [:(] Just to say, he was positively the most good-natured, happy, healthy dog it was ever our pleasure to own. Whoever has had these little chaps and chapesses will not regret it. I'm going to try to find a pic of him as a puppy to post, then you'll see just what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
