I challenge you to a duel....with the five month old grey sheps, Bic and Bowl!

Actually sod that, I'll take em all

I really shouldn't look at websites like that, i just want to scoop them all up and bring them home

Beautiful puppies, real stomach-clenchers!

Carrot Cake does it for me, but having just acquired a very fiesty terrier bitch I don't think it would work out.

I need bowl!.....I must be the only person in the world who doesn't like Retrievers and isn't that fond of Labs!

The kelpie pups are little stunners, but if I get any more dogs I'm going to have buy a trailer or a transit van!

Aw, i really want to just go and collect Angle right now! She looks lovely!

So sad to see so many dogs needing homes

Can't believe how many ex breeding dogs there are and don't they look awful

Some people are so damned callous.

Yep, keep em in a shed all their lives then dump them when they're done making money for you. Not an ounce of muscle anywhere and muscle wastage because they are never exercised, often health issues and some seriously prolapsed females.

Then the poor sods in rescue have to spend weeks and months getting them used to 'normal' lives, you know, cars, people, attention, being brushed, grass, trees, beaches, loud noises, kitchens, bathrooms and often, daylight

This is what you fund when you buy a puppy from a puppy farm or a pet shop.

Years ago my Mum found 5 Westies running down the lane. They were all bitches, obviously of varying ages and they all had stitches the length of their tummies

She caught most of them but it tooks days and days of leaving food out for another which was hiding in the woods before she could catch it.

They had almost certainly been dumped from a van (van seen at time) and without doubt from a puppy farm

My mother found homes for all the dogs but kept the very timid one - which she still has today

ETA: there is a collie near the bottom of that site that I am going to show my son when he gets home.

I have just been on there - Looking at Marcus, but sadly I know I wont pass the homecheck, even though I am a huge supporter and dog lover

Good for your mum, RW

Kitty, I have my fingers crossed really tightly for you, he really jumped out at me too, as did all his littermates! x
A lot of those places have very tight guidelines on paper and online but do look at individual circumstances.

Leo could have been Tikka's little brother !

I haven't even applied TBH I am a bit *meh* because I will get annoyed if I don't pass (thats a bit silly isn't it?) maybe i will apply but i can't see them wearing the Lil not being spayed thing...i wonder if its wrong to rehome a rescue dog under false pretences..?

Obviously I don't know how MT works, but I would think its worth applying, most rescues seem to be flexible about prospective owners. Their criteria is very strict to make people think long and hard before taking on a dog, but they are often open to negotiation. In your position I would definitely apply.
