Dogs worth £9,000 stolen In Lincolnshire

It is preaching to the converted on here I know, but a few things stand out to me about this article:

(1) who cares how much the dogs are worth?

(2) chocolate is not a Pomeranian colour recognised by the Kennel Club, which is why it will be "rare" :p

(3) the owner is a puppy farmer, you can tell that by the number of "designer cross breeds" he is trying to market :(
 
This place is one of the biggest contributors to rescue in the East Midlands.
If it wasn't for them some breeds would have virtually no need for rescue - an out & out puppy farm despite the denials on their website.

Their local council is known as one of the slackest for licencing outside Wales.
 
This has to be a record (for me anyway)! 7 Posts, all in a row, and I agree with every one of them, and every sentiment expressed!!

I don't actually have that much of a problem with people breeding dogs for profit, per se. What I do have a problem with is that invariably the team of brood bitches will have had no form of interaction with humans, from the point of view of any form of bonding, and any puppies which remain unsold, beyond (at a guess) 5 months(?), will most probably end up as "Bin-ends", and being sold off cheaply will be sold to those who have no idea, and then the next trip will be to a rescue centre, and though I applaud their sense of decency and care, all so often they are taking on an unmanageable and sometimes potentially dangerous dog, and though well intentioned, but misguided, they "Assess" a prospective innocent, and so the dog's world revolves, yet again, and so the rescue centres effectively promote these Puppy Farms, because they end up as the final solution (all bar one).

I've agreed with 7 of you, though I doubt that you will agree with me, when I say that if the average customer of the Puppy Farm had to pay for and sit with their unsuitable puppy whilst it was humanely destroyed, then the business would collapse. Handing the puppy over to a charity absolves the owner from any perceived sense of responsibility, except that it doesn't.

Cannot feel any sympathy for this breeder, a person who is licensed to keep 110 breeding bitches on his premises and in addition has a pet shop licence which permits him to buy in puppies from elsewhere to resell. I hope the puppies and dogs were liberated and will be well cared for and not sold on and used for breeding.
The value of £9.000 placed on the dogs and puppies in the newspaper report far exceeds their true valuation, so maybe trying to make some additional money this way too.
According to reports they sell about 35 puppies per week. Where are peoples common sense to buy a puppy from this type of establishment that breeds excessive numbers of litters and not satisfied with that buys in from other puppy farms to make extra money?
Kesteven Council is very, very lax when making their inspections, the premises are not up to the standard required to meet all the criteria of their dogs breeding or pet shop licence, yet every year they renew their licence. Why, when there have been complaints from purchasers and media coverage. Maybe a case of not what you you know but who you know which is often found to be the case in Wales when licensing dog breeders I doubt Lincs is any different.
