Thanks so much for your kind words. He's doing ok at the moment, fingers crossed it will be ok through the treatment too. Cancer research has come such a long way that i do have faith in his doctor, he seems well educated, was pleasent to talk to and actually listened & explained things in normal language not all the medical jargon. Cant only wait and see how it goes i guess.

SENTENCING DAY - The time will not be confirmed untill the evening before! They will let me know but can check with the courts on the day. They open for business at 10am so a couple of us, maybe more, will be there from around 9.45am. We're just going to hang around till we go in.
Hope to see lots of supporters there! :)
 
I couldn't read and run either.
I've been following this thread; you're an amazing woman.
Good luck to you and Kris - sending you all the luck in the world.

It seems so unfair you have been hit with this , but I am sure your family's determination will win through again. Sending loads of positive vibes and luck to Kris and you.
 
Thank you all for your kind messages, really appreciate it guys. We go in this morning to discuss the results of scan and biopsy and treatment plan. Will let you know how he gets on.

We had ITV contact myself and some other victims & we have done short interviews. This will be aired on Thursday (tomorrow) evenings Anglia News. I'm very pleased at the amount of media interest in this case. This is what we need, to get the horrors of puppy farming out there for everyone to see! They said another program are going to be doing a puppy farming 1 hour special and they are using the interviews and documents to go with their program, so more media coverage!

Also, Alfie's story will be in our local papers this week too, not sure if it's going in the Norwich evening news tomorrow but they may write a small piece and then Alfie's story, i'm hoping, will be in the Great Yarmouth & Norwich Murcury/Advertiser. Will confirm details later today.

Take a Break stories of Alfie, Bella & a poor lil pup that didn't make it, will be published in the 31st July issue, so be sure to get your copy, however, i shall post it all on here anyway.

Hopefully at the weekend i can give you all that lil surprise i was telling you about too!

Must go for now but hopefully back later on.

Will pm you later Jan

Hi.
Your not gonna believe this!!! Sentencing has been put off till August 1st.
I'm so mad, so was Gary!
Apparently another case has to be finished because the judge will be away next week or something!
Can't believe it!! But in a strange way it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise and help get the result we all want. Cant say exactly what right now but believe me, things are in place and just need Miss Piggy to slip over one of those sweet packets ;)
Will be back again shortly guys. xxx
 
Good news! Kris's cancer is localised to his neck. Not spread anywhere, bone marrow OK, bloods OK. Only need 3 lots of Chemo now rather than 6. Then some radiotherapy afterwards. He should be cured by October all being well. Such a relief! He's a strong lad so im sure he's gonna be fine. Thank you all for you kind messages. Your all such lovely people :) Will be back again soon. Take care xxxXxxXxxx
 
Hi Everybody,

I can't believe I didn't know about this until today.... When we received a letter from the Kennel Club stating the the family history of our little Westie will no longer be acknowledged as there are no guarantees that the information given by this breeder was correct. They then gave a brief rundown of the events. I looked on the web tonight and found some newspaper reports and this site.

When I bought our Westie from her at Greenacres farm I believed that the two dogs in the cage under the puppies were the parents....... There were also a complete array of rosettes all over the walls which she claimed were won by her dogs.

When we got Chloe home I took her straight to the Vet who said she was in good health......... But a day or so later we were back at the vet as the poor puppy had blood in her stools. It took about two months to get her well. Also when she was about 4 months old she had to have X-rays as she had a limp...... Turns out she has a hip problem.

As responsible buyers we did everything we could to ensure that we would be buying a puppy from a responsible breeder. We checked the Kennel Club site, asked all the right questions, viewed the puppies parents .... What more could we have done!!!

I was also told by Lisa, that I would be getting the Kennel Club papers in the post.... Which we eventually did (I had to make calls to her in which I was told that her husband had died a few months before and at she had had to get the parents put into her name - and that was the reason for the delay).

When the papers did come through..... I contacted the Kennel Club and ordered a full 5 generation pedigree..... Which they provided!!!!!!!!!

What more should we have done to ensure that we were responsible buyers??????

What should we do now? Should we be contacting anybody? I know that I will be contacting the Kennel Club on Monday!!!!

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Caroline

Hi Caroline.
I am so sorry to hear your sad story. I do hope Chloe's hips will be ok, what is wrong with them?
I'm afraid everyone who bought from Walsh that has their puppy on the KC register will be getting these letters. I got one too.
I'm tied up at mo but I will send u a private message later.

You need to report it to Mr Gary Young on Monday please from trading standards. I'm hoping a lot more victims will come forward now. The number you need is 01603 224400 and ask to speak to him with regards to the Lisa Walsh case. He will put ur details on record for now. It may help in the future as this is not over yet. That witch WILL pay the price! Speak soon. Xxx

Nearly chocked on my tea when I read my KC letter!
Will be sending them a stern reply! I want them to keep courtmelyns on there & to detail his litter of hip dysplacia pups! I'll also send the complaint letter I originally sent them telling them of Walsh's crimes at the beginning of all this & they didn't want to know back then! I'll send the litter regs too to show them what they've allowed her to do over the years! Idiots! Xxx
 
Hi,
I received my KC letter yesterday.
I suspected something. I bought my Westie in March 2010. Mrs Walsh seemed to be a domestic KC registered breeder. She showed me the ? mother and various show rosettes. She explained that the bitches were bigger than the males because they were greedier! I bought a bitch. I was given a puppy pack but no food. she charged me £400. On taken to the vet the next week my Minnie had several ticks otherwise well. As she developed she did not have some characteristic features. ie her ears were like a spaniels and her coat very soft. At her year check the vet said she was cross bred and most likely had some Tibetan ? terrier in her. I emailed KC ( I had received pedigree paperwork from them). They told me to contact the breeder and to pay for DNA tests myself! I wrote to Mrs Walsh....luckily still at Tasburgh...with a picture of my dog. She sent a cheque for £150 with no apology.
Fortunately for me my dog is delightful with a wonderful temperament and I wouldn't be without her. As a puppy it was obvious that she had not been socialised by her mother. As a first time dog owner I was unaware but I took someone experience with me to Greenacres and we had no reason to doubt the breeder. I will contact Trading Standards tomorrow. I see that she was declared bankrupt in Manchester so I suspect there is little chance of a return of monies.
 
It seems there are many more unaware victims out there. Im sorry to hear of your experience, your not alone and not unlucky, you've been conned like the rest of us, but glad your little one is doing well now. Dont expect any money out of it, she owes so much that us little people wont get a thing apart from, hopefully, some justice for our dogs! That has always been my aim & i will continue to fight for them all until a fitting punishment is served.
I will send you a private message later today and yes, please do report to trading standards, your story is quite similar to another victims, may know a litter mate. Gary will be quite interested to hear your story.
I'll be in touch soon.

Sam Im so pleased that Kris cancer is very treatable and not too invasive, I wish you all the very best of luck in the world and hope this is sorted quickly so you can all get on with your life.

That woman has more lives than a cat but her doom hopefully is fast approaching and she will pay big time for all the needless suffering she has caused. xx
 
Hi Sam, Just to let you know we got our papers on Saturday. We heard from gunners brother (maybe not sure now) and he has to have his other hip done, also Gunner is at the vets next Wednesday as he is now limping.

I rung the kennel club today and got no where, all they offered is a cert with Gunners name on it with no parents ( I Declined it) I pointed out that they had said she was okay to buy from, the response was that they rely on trust with there breeders....... I did point out that in this day and age who can trust who when money is involved and animals but it fell on deaf ears as normal with as I have now found out with these idiots.

I did speak to trading standards`today about suing her for falsifying Gunners records but they agreed I would win but how would I recover any money from her as it looks like she has none ( ie well hidden I think) We are trying to get to court so I will get lou to speak to you and get the details.

Thanks hun. Thought i emailled you but just checked and its still in my drafts! Sorry, will sort it later tonite, that's if my brain remembers! Fibro fog week! Such a pleasure to deal with, not!

Yes, it was very positive news for Kris. He's coping well but secretly very nervous i think. Who wouldn't be! Chances of curing him have increased to over 80%. Fingers crossed he responds well to the treatment. I keep hearing about success stories so it's feeling more & more positive. He goes in to chat with the nurses tomorrow about his treatment plan and then i think they are going to start him off on Thursday and Friday this week. The antibody has to go in slowly so has to be done over 2 days but from then on it will only be a Thursday. I hope & pray he will cope well.

Yes, the bitch does seem to get away with everything, these kind of people always do don't they. They live lives of luxury on dirty money without a care in the world and no respect for anyone else, no remorse, they seem to have it all and none of life's harder times seem to effect them, whilst us normal people have to struggle every bloody step of the way! It's just not fair is it? :(

Right, that's my moan for the day, lol. Tough times eh!
Well, i shall leave it there as got dinner on the way.
Speak again real soon hun. Much love to you & your lil furry ones. xxxx

Hey Tony.
Good to hear from you. Gutted to hear about Gunner. Lets hope its just a sprain. Fingers crossed mate.
Will reply properly later on, just doing dinner.
Speak soon. x
 
Hi,
I am shocked to read all of these posts. I also received a letter from the kennel club a couple of days ago. I bought my "pedigree" black Labrador in January 2012 from Mrs Walsh. As you all said, there was no reason to believe the puppies were not pedigree and well looked after.
However, on getting our girl home, she also became very sick. She quickly developed bloody diarrhoea which persisted for weeks and weeks, as well as a horrible cough which prevented her from drinking anything. We took her to the vet and they diagnosed parvovirus and kennel cough - which could have been fatal in a puppy of her size. (They also said she was very underweight). This made us suspicious that Mrs Walsh was running a puppy farm at the time. She still coughs whenever she drinks now.
We have spoken to trading standards about the case this morning and the man said that Mrs Walsh had false vet statements for hip scores and vaccinations. It is absolutely awful. Animal abuse! I hope she pays for it.

Hiya.
Sorry didn't get back to you.
Poor Henry, hope he will cope ok. Bless him. Hope his owners are keeping in touch more, if so, please keep me updated on his progress and send my love to them all.
Poor Gunner too! Jeez, i hope it's not H/D, would have thought it would have made an appearance by now though. May be he has just sprained it or something. He's probably gone a bit too bonkers one day and hurt himself in the process. Will be thinking of you next week, please let me know how you get on. I hope & pray it's not bad news guys.

Don't surprise me one little bit that the KC were of no help! Yes, the word 'idiots' does spring to mind, lol. Could think of a few other words to go with it too! Did you ask for your money back on your 5 year pedigree that you bought? I think they should pay everyone back that money as the pedigrees are worth nothing now! Maybe we should all bombard them with calls demanding our money back! I'll get on to them later today.

I'm sure the bitch has hidden that money very well, they wont find a penny of it, but then she may have scoffed it all, lol ;) Personally its not about the money to me but i'd like to see the KC pay everyone back as they've basically let her carry on despite being told by many people what was going on back in 2012. They even stuck up for the bitch, they fell for her sob stories & didn't want to know about all the complaints!! They have alot to answer for in my opinion!

I'm not sure if its worth going through small claims as she wont admit to having any money now so as t/s say, how will it be recovered? There is a very big long list of people/businesses that are owed thousands before any of us lot get to see anything. We wont get a penny. Its dirty money at the end of the day isn't it. I want to see her banged up, for a long time, justice to be served, disabled kid or not. We know the true struggles of having disabled kids, she uses it to her advantage, and tries to get the sympathy vote, disgraceful bitch!!

Ok, i'm going to stop there. Even thinking about her evil ways makes my blood boil!

I did send Lou an email few days ago, hope she got it. Let me know if not as my putrid puter is not behaving, lol
Will speak to you soon. Must meet up soon for a proper chinwag.
Take it easy.

Hi I brought my beautiful golden retriever Ellie back in spetember 2010 I wanted to know if I could trace the other two pups which we're in the litter with her as Ellie has developed a skin condition which has made her skin turn black and for her too loose her fur. She also may have a heart problem as when she is taken out for walks/runs she can't take it and throws herself to the floor despiratly trying to breath. I can't believe how disgusting this women is! Spoke to trade and standards yesterday and they told me that I need to send a letter to her and if she doesn't reply which I'm not hoping on then we're able to take her to a small claims court to be able to get compensation.
