On another forum, a girl was asking for donations for her unwell male husky and got £300 on the husky forum. (Think the thread is still live)Meanwhile, she got a rescue but KC registered bitch and within 3 weeks of having her, put her to stud, advertising the pups (6 of them, do the Math!) for £650 each.

I am taken aback at the lack of ethics shown here! :eek:
 
Black cob, yes, will pm you. Suzy, will search the other forum. Think the husky that was set on fire the other week has recovered and gone home. :)
 
Husky Owners often makes me froth at the mouth but it's no use speaking out, it's the most fluffy-bunny, cliquey, heavily moderated forum I think I've ever known. :o

It worries me that a lot of the new husky rescues that have sprang up have recruited fosterers from there, actually.
 
The owner can't be too bright, posting madly about how sick her poor dog is and how she needs cash then merrily breeding a rescue bitch and charging a fortune for non health tested pups. :mad:
 
Sometimes a bitch can be rehomed unspayed, eg if just finished a season, with directions to spay but never with KC papers.
More likely it was "rescued" via Gumtree.

Can't have been a very reputable rescue if they rehomed an unspayed bitch...

I think that was the case. The old owner (who now wants the dog back!) had ill health. The new owner didn't health test but spouts on a lot about the importance of health testing and immediately put the dog to a stud.

I've never had a bitch before: am I right in thinking that it's pretty hard to know if she's been spayed or not? How can you tell if there's no obvious scar? Do vets routinely do any kind of test? I'd like (in the far future when we have undergone training with our demon dogchild-Zak) to rescue a bitch, but I'd only want one that was spayed or could be spayed immediately.
