Lisa Walsh (dog breeder Norwich)

Hi guys.
Well, quite a few things have happened but i need to be careful what i say as the evil one is reading everything and even joining up on a certain social network posing as a victim! Sick cow! You would be completely horrified if you knew what her latest heartbreaking crimes were!!
Anyhoo, on a plus note, i've managed to get her name on the dodgy breeders list on Puppy Love website, take a look,

http://www.puppylovecampaigns.org/sellers.shtml

Am pleased with that, hopefully more people will be looking on here before buying! And it gets 2 of her names and premises in the public eye, i'm also slapping up posters and waiting on some leaflets to hand out in my local area. PLEASE visit Puppy Love, there are lots of things we can all do to try and make people more aware of this disgusting trade and hopefully get our government to change our oudated stoopid laws!

The guys at Puppy Love have been absolutely fantastic, take a look at some of the horrific story's on there, Alfie's story is also on there.
They work there little socks off and have been for some time now. They need all the help we can give, so please visit, print off the posters, ask for leaflets to be sent so you can really get the message out to your locals. There are also template letters you can send to the MP's and to your friends too. You would be surprised how many people are blissfully unaware of what Puppy Farming is, i was one of them!! Its up to us, the general public, to speak up for these animals.

The evil one is hopefully digging herself a great big hole to go and rot in! Trading Standards, RSPCA and all authorities are investigating and say they are just as frustrated as we are. Our stoopid laws are making things hard to be able to just go shut her down and get her into court. The investigator wants her in court but wants the case to be strong so we will just have to wait untill they get everything they need, painfully slow but hopefully they will get her good and proper!

Alfie is booked in for the 19th to have his 1st hip replaced. They can only do one at a time. They are hoping his right hip will correct itself once the left is better but as only 10% of the ball is in the socket it looks doubtfull it will heal itself. So we'll then have to wait 6 months at least before he can have his right hip replaced!! My poor boy, puppy years gone forever! But, he is in a loving home, he's got a nutty 6 year old boy as a best friend and they still have fun. He's happy enough and still manages to pull on walks! I can see when the pain is getting to him so its just a matter of looking for the signs and then getting him to settle down, usually with a good massage, he loves that! It has been incredibly difficult over the summer holidays for us as a family that love to explore. We had so much planned for this year! Hard times but that can only mean good times are to come!

Well i'll stop waffling on now, gotta do housework!
Will update again after his op.
Thanks to the guys who have helped, much appreciated.

First of all I hope Alfies hip operation goes well and is successful and he goes on to live a long and happy life.

Puppylove do an amazing job and I really hope they nail this woman and put her out of action for ever. Im sure there are people out there who are also victims of this woman and hopefully after the PL campaigns they come forward and supply more evidence. Sadly the real victims in all this are the dogs themselves and their life has been blighted by this woman.

Thanks. We'll make sure Alfie's life is a very happy one. He is loved sooooo much and is a really great family dog. Slightly nutty but that fits in with us lot anyway! lol :D

I cant stop thinking about all the poor animals that are suffering out there! Just wanna go resue them all! Its all so heartbreaking.
I do have faith that we will get this stopped. If Ireland can do it, the Welsh are doing it, then so can we.

Take care and thanks for your reply and help.

16th September is Puppy Farming Awareness day! Anyone doing anything??

This is also the day that 'IT' has to be out of the farm house, how very fitting!

Hey, the mention of John vant here, we bought our puppy in nov 2010, from this rouge! And I have been trying to fight it, but getting no where! How do these people get away with it!
 
Are none of you aware of this? How is she still trading?

The VAT returns for the VAT periods ending 08/2004 to 11/2006 were incorrect in that: Output tax of £263,168 and Input tax of £568,592 were declared in the VAT returns resulting in HMRC making VAT repayments of £305,374 into a bank account operated by Marlewal. HMRC raised a best judgement assessment of £468,985 against Marlewal, of which, at least £460,877 relates to the VAT periods between 08/2004 and 11/2006 based on output tax being over declared by the amount of £39,474 and input tax being over declared by the amount of £500,361.

As a result, it is impossible to determine whether Marlewal was entitled to any of the VAT repayments totalling £305,374.20 which it received and Marlewal incurred a VAT liability of at least £269,457 with HMRC lodging a claim of £547,830.50.
 
It was also easy enough to find this under a search of Marlewal...........poor people getting that phone no.!

Hi

Myself and my Husband have lived in the village of Necton, Swaffham for nearly 3 years and when we moved into our brand new house we were given a Telephone number!! However, we have received so many calls asking if we are dog breeders!! We have obviously been given someones number who was a dog breeder in the area, Rose Cottage?? We do not know who these people are, however we have had calls regarding Labradors, Retrievers, German Shephards, Various Terriers, Boxers, and so on! Also people have asked for a Lisa and Mark Walsh, Welsh, Marsh and Masters! including numerous banks looking for them. Should anyone ever get in contact with these characters, could they kindly ask them to stop giving out our phone number and to inform those who have had puppies from them before, that they no longer, (what sounds like a puppy farm), trade under this number.

Jesus. Nothing else, that's it, except that I'm in the wrong business!! :D

hi everyone,

just a word of warning, we bought a puppy in december 2011, completely unware that she was a puppy farmer, same old story front room ect ect.

Our lovely boy has suffered terribly with his health, he has had aspergilosis, which is a killer it is a fungus which can be found in dirty straw- I wonder where that came from!!!

He has had three treaments and touch wood, he is much better now but please be aware this presents as a cold i.e sneezing, mucus and coughing and if left untreated can infect the brain. The treatments are £2000 each time, but he is of course worth every penny.
 
I feel incredibly sorry for all of you that have bought a puppy from a less than desirable and outright neglegant breeder. Unfortunately it happens far too often these days as it is classed as easy money. I suspect that we will see a comeback from all the cross breeding too in the not too distant future.

If anyone is thinking about buying another pedigree puppy or knows someone that is intending on doing so please contact the appropiate breed club for a list of breeders that abide by their code of ethics in regards to breeding.

Although the Kennel Club Assured Scheme is a step in the right direction it is still far too easy to manipulate its rules and it is not properly policed. Any one of us can actually become KCAB in 5 minutes just by paying the fee! Breed Clubs are in a better position to monitor individuals, their breeeding practices and provide proper direction to would be puppy owners.

Good luck with your campaign in getting the above stopped, it is not easy and even with all the evidence in the world as I have experienced some councils are just not bothered enough to do anything.

Hi thanks for the info. I was not aware of alot of things about LW before i bought my pup last year. As many others too.
Do you have any other info on her?

It may be easy enough to find info on her for you and yes, now there is a wealth of info on her. But when i researched her a year ago i coulnt find anything on her! I had no reason not to trust her and she is an outstanding actress and yes i fell for it. Like so many other victims.
It is easy to mock people but do you think that really helps us?
Yes, i feel stupid for falling for it but i had no intentions of breeding or showing. I just wanted a pet for my son!
I had no idea puppy farming even existed unill i found out about this evil bitch. Now i'm determined to make more people aware of the disgusting trade. If more people do what i'm doing rather than just sitting back and doing nothing except mocking victims, then maybe together as an animal loving country, we might just be able to stop the trade!
I will campaign untill it stops and i urge others to do the same, public awareness is the key to this. If the public know about the horrifying conditions these dogs live in and the deformed pups they produce, then i am sure the trade will die out eventually.
Ultimately our government need to make big changes and the KC and RSPCA need a very big kick up the butt to make things tougher for these evil people to operate. I've even heard of some RSPCA members taking backhanders!! Shocking! And the KC has several well known big commercial breeders on their accredited breeders list! How??? Its crazy! So i think it is a bit unfair for anyone to mock victims as even if you go by the KC lists, you could still end up with a puppy farm product. :mad:

So sorry to hear of your misfortune. Did you report her to trading standards? They will be very interested to hear your story.
Thank you very much for the advice on Aspergilosis. Sounds awful.
Hope your lil pup is all better now and stays better :)

I totally agree with you. I just wish i knew this before i bought my pup! :(
Thanks for your comments. :)
 
I feel so sorry for all of you that have purchased your dogs from this scum, I didn't think it happened in the uk. (naive i know) I thought puppies and kittens were banned from being sold in pet shops.

I was shocked after moving to the usa and the puppy mills over here. The horrendous practice of basically factory farming dogs.

I hope that you manage to get this woman and others shut down and hope all your pups live long and healthy lives.
 
"I had no intentions of breeding or showing. I just wanted a pet"

I hear this all the time and want to say to anyone buying a puppy -

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WANT THE DOG FOR, PET, WORK, SHOW, JUGGLING WITH THE THING, IF YOU ARE BUYING A PUPPY THE PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS NEED TO BE PROVEN TO BE HEALTHY IN MIND AND BODY.

And selling dogs on their 'nice temperaments' - breeding and show dogs need to have nice temperaments too. Kinda difficult to breed from or show something that is going to take your arm off, and the nice temperament won't matter a jot if the thing is off it's legs by two years old.
 
Unfortunately people often seem to do more research on buying a toaster than on a puppy they will have for 10 -15 years.
Anyone with any experience will have known this was a dodgy trader from the advert and from lack of provenance but most puppy buyers see an advert and get sold a pup. It is only when the problems start that they look back at what was wrong.
While people will buy the substandard product people will sell it. They come in many guises - the out and out pet store, the hidden dealer as in this thread or more & more often the "selling for a relative" as a puppy farm outlet.
Breed clubs & breed rescues are a good starting point for information but they cannot police the trade, only give advice to prospective owners (& in some cases report to authorities).

There are a lot of Assured breeders & Accredited breeders advertising that are nothing to do with the kennel club - only if they put KC with the term does it have any meaning and no one should consider buying a pup that should have papers without the official papers being ready.
A "full three generation pedigree" is meaningless - I could write one for some of my fish!

It is really out of order to be rude to someone who is trying to give some information that may help you. If, as you say above, you had never heard of puppy farmers before buying your puppy then it is abundantly clear to me that you did not do adequate research before buying the pup. I'm sorry for your situation and for your puppy. The "breeder" of your pup is without doubt a dishonorable person. This is not the fault of posters on here and they should not be vilified for trying to be helpful. Many people have, for many years, been trying to stamp out this evil trade. They have some success and some failure but whatever the failure rate might be it isn't for the want of trying. I hope that you are successful and look forward to reading about it.

Errrr, Excuse me!!! When someone is rude to me then i shall not bite my toung! Freedom of speach!
By saying sarcastic comments like "are none of you aware of this?" and "it was also easy enough to find this" it implies to me that i am being mocked and i will defend myself, as anyone would. I appreciate the information that was given as you will see from my previous comment and asked if they knew any more info.
I think you are the one who is out of order by saying that i blame the posters on here and that i have violated their help! That is just ridiculous!
If a person wants to be helpful then great but why leave a sarcastic comment with it??
I am fully aware of the work that has gone on over the years to help stop this and i am forever thankful to them and i am also aware that this has been going on long before i came along.
Since last year i have been campaigning myself and i will continue to do all i can.
I just dont like it much when there is any mockery towards the victims. I'm just a normal person, like the other victims, i dont know as much about dog breeding as some of the people on here obviously do but do you really think that almost taking the piss out of someone for being naive is appropiate??

And i am not the only person not to have known about puppy farming, you would be supprised just how many are blissfully unaware! Thats why my aim now is to inform and educate as many people as i can.
I have already said i did not do enough research, yes i was naive, so now i want to join the rest of the campaigners and get the message out there.

I am not a bad person and i really dont appreciate you implying that i am.
I am not sure if i will write here again as i certainly didnt expect this! :(

Nobody has been rude to you, it is only your opinion that those comments are made in sarcasm. It may be that it is a genuine question and is put to ensure that fellow posters read it in case they are not aware. Of course you are not the only person to be unaware of bad goings on, that is why research is so important. I have not said nor implied, and neither has anyone else that you are a bad person.

I hope that you achieve your goals and would hope to hear about your success.
 
Nobody was being rude or mocking Sam. My comments are for the people who may have read this thread and have not commented or who may be thinking of buying a puppy.

This thread has 17k views, far more than most on this section of the forum. If the comments encouraging people to do their research helps ONE person, then it's all good.

Calm down, and stop being so defensive, we're all on the same team here.
 
:o Hi

Ok, yesterday I was not in a very good mood, and looking back at what has been written, i feel a tad embarrassed. :o
I'm not going to make excusses, i just lashed out with my bad mood and i am very sorry for that.
StuartH, I really do appreciate that information very much and i appologise for my rude manner. I hope i have not offended you too much, i really dont like offending anyone. This subject is still very raw, it's happening right under our noses, more ill pups are being reported so frequently! Yet another of Alfie's sister's has been found, this poor lil baby has both hip and elbow dysplasia! Its just so heartbreaking. My emotions run very high with anything to do with this subject.
Anyway, i do hope you accept my appology.

Sulin, again i appologise. In my defence it did seem that you kinda pounced on me and as i said, my mood made my ugly head come out.
I do understand why research is so important now, but last year i did not, that is why i am on a mission now to make as many people as I can aware of puppy farming and to inform and educate them on how to do research as i obviously didnt have a clue did i, i'm the 1st to admit that. If i can prevent just a handful of families going through this nightmare then that would make me happy! I will plod on and keep going.

So anyway, enough of all this eh, it's Christmas :D
I also heard some very good news yesterday, watch this space! ;)

Merry Christmas to one and all.
Have Fun. xxxx:)
 
I know this will sound incredibly hard hearted,but if a puppy is unfortunate enough to be crippled both ends would it not be kinder to say goodbye? We put these unfortunate dogs through Hell in an effort to keep them going,sometimes I feel mainly for the vet`s pocket and the feeling of guilt they sometimes try and impose if you do not want to "do everything". Sometimes it is kinder not to.
I despise "breeders " who churn out puppies with no regard to health tests,they should be stopped..NOW..but so often,again and again in fact..the buying public still buy from breeders NOT testing their breeding stock.Worse,if you enquire as to what health tests the parents of their beloved have had ,then you are being "difficult" or "snotty".That is fine,repent at leisure ,but it need never happen.PLEASE if you are buying a puppy check out the health problems,every breed has them,and avoid heartbreak.In my own breed ..bull terriers ..EVERY breeding animal should have Heart/Kidney UPC and BAER hearing certificates,EVERY puppy should be sold with it`s BAER hearing certificate and first vax and primary heart check.It should also ALREADY be ID in some way. If a litter cannot measure up..walk away,save the heartbreak.Kidney or heart failure in young bull terriers is rampant,in other breeds there are killers just the same,just be aware,and visit a breeder,however fine they seem,with eyes skinned.
 
I wish i could have a very large drink but both my boys got the dreaded sick bug!! Alfie also seems a bit out of sorts today, bless him. But come the 25th, i shall be having quite a few slurps, hmmmm, really fancy a bailey's now! ;)

Thanks for your comments CaveCanem. I think my problem lately is that i read too much into things sometimes, this woman is so evil and twisted she has made alot of us very paranoid. Plus finding out about Alfie's 4th sister yesterday really got to me. Poor lil girl. Her owner will be posting her story here soon, i'm looking forward to reading and compare stories as not spoke directly yet. Sadly the owner also caught Giardia when she bought Bella home. Bella was very poorly and so was Suzanne by the sound of it! The disease that is being spread is very worrying!

I hear what your saying EastKent but the vets where these pups are going to, Grove Referrals in Fakenham, are absolutely brilliant. I cant fault them. Not like my local vets who completely misdiagnosed Alfie. They said he'd done both back cruciate ligaments in before they referred. Then at the Grove we find out his knees are fine but hips are in a crucial state! Was shocked to say the least!

All 3 siblings have been there and all have been initially treated differently and with a different approach. They've never once pushed any of us to go ahead with the ops. And advised a combination of rest, pain killers and hydrotherapy first. They have been very informative and i believe honest. Personally they have helped us so much, not just with Alfie but with all sorts of advice too. Alfie had a major setback during recovery and has swelling to the femur bone where the implants cement is. He didn't say straight away he needed more surgery. He 1st suggested 6 more weeks rest, then changed his mind and made it 8 weeks. Plus reduced Alfie's painkillers.
We go back on the 27th December. Dreading it as he is a bit of a loony dog and very hard to control due to us not being able to train him properly. Feel so sorry for him. Can only hope and pray we've done enough and will receive good news on Thursday! :(
Mr Gordon Brown and Mr Simon Gilbert, the surgeons who work as a great team along with Mr Tattishall (i think) are my new best friends ever! :D Forever thankful to them for all they have done for us. They must have made a nice wedge out of this woman but they are great at what they do so credit must be given. Very nice people too.

I will post a letter that i wrote, my local papers have published it. I feel this thread will be a good place for it. I will also be sending this on to magazines to reach even more people. :)
For now i will say night night.
A mountain of prezzies are staring at me waiting to be wrapped! :eek:
 
Well done!Thanks to this thread hope Lisa b....y Walsh has an absolutely miserable Christmas. People like her should be named, shamed, and fined out of their socks - and banned from keeping animals for life.

I'm sad so many of you have had puppies from her, but hopefully they are now much loved members of your family.

But WHY, WHY, WHY do you buy from breeders? Go to your local rescue centre. You will get a dog (at a very reasonable price) who will be just as wonderful as any pup you've spent £100s on.

Here speaks one who has only had rescue dogs for the last 40 years - I've never regretted one, and you set an example as well as having the best friends ever! (Our latest has prevented two burglaries, one to our house and one to the house next door). You don't need a piece of paper to do that..................
 
Sam I really admire people like you who by telling their story in the hope that it will stop someone else making the mistakes you made. Anyone now who googles this breeders name will find the horror stories that they created. I just wish all these breeders could be accessed by google so people would know who were to be avoided. The more people come forward and report them and use sites like this to tell their story the more chance they will go out of business.
