Well done Sam, you got there in the end, just had a quick look and its frightening to think how many went through her evil hands.

The Kennel Club imo are no longer fit for purpose, they wont change so something needs to go in their place instead, something that if you were registered with would be an indication of quality breeders with quality puppies.

I fully endorse every word you said about the Puppy Love Campaigns, they are a great group and do so much work and I Include CARIAD in there too.
 
Thanks Dobiegirl. Yes cariad also took the time to look over the case even though they are incredibally busy right now so much appreciation & thanks goes out to them too, thanks Sarah & Sue! Keep up your fantastic work & good luck with everything! Go get em Sarah ;)

I agree 100%. What is the point of the Kennel Club if they allow this to go on. Remember this is just 1 person. There are thousands more!! Hundreds of thousands more puppies and god only knows how many poor breeding parents there are out there. This problem is massive and needs to stop!
Thanks for your comments hun. x

BELLA'S STORY....

My daughter had wanted a labrador puppy for as long as I can remember. Last year when my mother was terminally ill, I decided life was too short and threw caution to the wind (in all directions so it would seem!) and bought my daughter a yellow labrador puppy for Christmas 2011. The advert said KC reg. pedigree, wormed and vaccinated £350. We visited twice and on the first occasion at 4 weeks old when choosing our puppy she was in the front room of the house in a large pen feeding from her mother along with her 4 litter mates. We took some pictures on our phones. They all seemed happy and content and I had no reason to think this was a puppy farm. There was no evidence of any other dogs.

The house was untidy but Lisa was very chatty and welcoming and I thought nothing more of it. I already had a 3 year old Westie that was born in a front room of a house which wasn't a show home (but definitely NOT a puppy farm) and she has been a healthy little dog with no problems. We paid our £100 deposit and were told she would be ready from 25th November onwards. We did visit again 2 weeks later as we were so excited and often passed that way. I rang beforehand to arrange and Lisa was very strict on times saying she had family in hospital so I made sure we arrived at the time specified by her. On this occasion our pup was in the front room again with just one of her litter mates. Lisa said this was to get them used to being away from their mother for short periods of time which I thought seemed plausible. We took more photos of Bella and left feeling quite happy.

We collected Bella at teatime on Friday 25th November 2011. Lisa's attitude was quite different on this occasion. She said she had no puppy packs left and just gave me a typed sheet of instructions on how to care for Bella. I was a bit put out as usually a breeder will supply you with a pack of food for the next few days that your puppy has been weaned on. She also told me she didn't have the KC papers as her partner had died and that they were in his name and the Kennel Club had still not sorted it out for her. I didn't feel I could argue over this as it was such a personal thing so I left with her assurance she would send them on. We picked Bella up and went to leave, she didn't see us out or say Goodbye which I felt was quite rude but we had our puppy and were anxious to get her home. We picked up some of the food outlined in the instructions on our way home and Bella slept peacefully all the way. That evening she was happy and relaxed, ate all her food and we were over the moon with her. That night the diarrhoea started.

It went on and on and I thought it was maybe her adjusting to her new surroundings or maybe I had not got the right food and it had upset her stomach. By the following Thursday it was still going on although she was playful, happy and eating and drinking well. It was that night I too became very ill with severe diarrhoea and a fever. On the Saturday morning my sister took Bella to the vets for me as I was too ill to go out. The vet said Bella may have Parvo virus. They gave her an injection, said to feed her on chicken and boiled rice small amounts 6 times a day and to keep a close eye on her. This set me back around £80 within a week of purchasing her.

Gradually she began to improve and over the next 3 weeks we both got back to full health and we began to enjoy her properly. I didn't think any more of it or consider contacting the breeder as I thought it was just bad luck but had turned out okay. That was until Bella started limping in October this year. I took her to the vets hoping it was just a sprain but in my heart I felt it was more serious. Nothing could have prepared me for what was to unfold though. The vet examined her and thought she had mild elbow dysplacia in her front left leg. I had insurance but only for a 12 month condition however I was not unduly worried as on speaking to a friend who had labrador with same condition it was treated and he had recovered well. We were referred to a specialist clinic who did a CT scan on Monday 17th December. The results were shocking. Not only did it show the dysplacia in Bella's elbow but both of her hips are severely affected and she literally has no proper hip sockets, the bones have just formed round to stabilise her and somehow she manages. She doesn't appear to be in any pain and there was nothing to suggest there was a problem with her hips. The vet asked if I had any contact with her litter mates which I did not so this week I have been doing some research and I am totally devasted to learn that not only my beautiful dog has so many problems but this breeder is responsible for so many more with various health problems.

Poor Bella will never be able to have surgery as insurance wont cover it!! The Bitch should be made to pay the expenses we've all faced!! These poor dogs were made by her afterall!
We have to pay nearly £50 a month for insurance on Alfie now and that will continue to grow as he needs xrays every year for the next 3-4 years! More & more cost!
 
Worth a read, they have a good varied approach with most matters...

Points to include

  • Demand that puppy farms be given a legal definition that includes both large scale operations and small operations that fail to meet the psychological, behavioural and social needs of dogs, and that puppy farms be outlawed.
  • Ask that heavy fines be given to unregistered operators.
  • Demand that RSPCA officers be given powers to randomly inspect premises.

The rspca already abuse their limited powers, they have no more rights in Law than any other civilian, and what would be the point, when we already have Trading Standards who have a right of entry? Unlike TS who are a Government appointed and paid for body, the rspca have political agendas which interfere with justice, and strangely they'd hinder your plans.

I actually agree Alec. They have let me down big time on more than one occasion recently!! Another organisation, like the KC, who like their titles but don't follow through with their promises! Just don't really see the point of them. Yes they've helped millions of animals, they wouldn't help all of Walsh's dogs and horses though!! They wouldn't back us up even though they saw the state of the place, it wasn't until trading standards raided the place in 2012 that they started to realise what we were dealing with, despite being told by many unhappy victims!! Even then, they still wouldn't back us up, WHY?? Im totally baffled on that and soooo not impressed!! :(
Right...before I get into a rant about the rspca, I'm off to have another cuppa :)
Have a great day guys :)
 
WOULD YOU BELIVE IT!!!! KENNEL CLUB STILL GOT LISA WALSH, MARK WALSH, WENDY WALSH, N MELTON K MELTON AND E BRAISHER REG AT GREENACRES FARM, when they were told that these people, 4 of whom should never have been reg there at all, were evicted October 2012, and that KC was told at the time, and also in January 2013, they still have done nothing, they only reg dogs, NOT PEOPLE. what a waste of space these people are.
 
Got a letter today....
Started with apologies for what seemed a wasted journey, then went on...
Walsh changed her plea to guilty in connection with a charge of fraudulent trading. Although we had hoped that she might do this at some point, we had not expected it to happen at such an early stage. We are sure that the reason that this happened was the quality of the evidence given by everyone the previous day, which was the first day that witnesses were called, and the prospect that the rest of the witnesses would be equally good.
The actual charge covered the period from 1st September 2009 to 14th October 2012, during which she knowingly carried on a dog breeding business for a fraudulent purpose outside the scope of section 993 of the companies Act 2006, namely by:
(i) Advertising that puppies sold by her were pedigree Kennel Club registered when they were not;
(ii) Advertising the parents of the puppies offered for sale were available for inspection when they were not;
(iii) Falsely registering new litters with the Kennel Club
(iv) Falsely providing names of dams to the Kennel Club for new litters; and
Falsely representing to purchasers that the dams of puppies had died in order to disguise the absence of breeding by her!
Walsh also pleaded guilty to benefit fraud in the sum of £12,000
She will be sentenced for both on probably the 3rd July.....
Will let us know and welcome to attend sentencing...
There will also be an investigation under the Proceeds of Crime Act, to determine whether Walsh has any assets which would be available for confiscation.
Thank you once again for your help in this case.

Interesting!! ;)

That's crazy!! They keep Puppy Farming alive, they let scum register whatever litters they wish, to whatever dogs or even non existent dogs and they even stick up for the witch saying she's just trying to make a living!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Oooohh they wind me up, they really do! They have several large known puppy farm/mills on their accredited breeders list for gods sake, they almost advertise puppy farming!! :mad:
The innocent breeders are paying the same fees to get that 'status' but for what? To be put on a list that contains such vile establishments!! No thanks is what I'd say!
I hope the innocent breeders out there continue to unite & challenge the KC about their very slack rules & regs! What's the point in rules, guidelines & regulations when they are not followed up and checked! We need to find a way to do this more effectively but sadly the government do not always put animal welfare at the top of the agenda & without their backing a bad situation turns much worse very quickly! By which time no one wants to even try to tackle the problem. :(
How can they still have them on that address, shes sold a lot of puppies since then obviously from different properties...Derham, Barnham Broom, Woodrising ect, surly she would have to change her address with them for papework unless she been trading unlicensed of course!
Do they know Mark walsh is 6 foot under??? Idiots!!

Sam have a look at this group which has quite a large membership, a lot of them are assured breeders and have been asked to be taken off the list as they do not what to be put a long side puppy farmers. They are trying to get the Kennel Club to change, haha, but with their membership growing the KC cant refuse to ignore them. I hope some good can come out of this so ordinary members of the public will know KC registered means its bred ethically and the puppy farmers will no longer have the level of respectability they now have with their KC registered puppies.
 
Sadly I am not in the least surprised that the KC aren't bothered that they have the wrong details for her, as long as they get their money they really don't care. As Dobiegirl says a lot of responsible breeders have now left the Assured Breeders schem , including myself, as we object to being grouped with puppy farmers and breeders of crosses/mongres!
 
Good. That's reassuring to hear, I knew a few were not happy with things but very glad to hear most of the responsible breeders are making a stand. People power nearly always works from what I've experienced in life. Let's hope one day soon the kc listen and make the changes that are desperately needed. XxX
 
Hi guys.
Sorry for absence, had a lot on lately. Life gets so busy!
I have no idea why all the photo's have disappeared but if you click on the links it will open them in a new window :)
I have a few more pics of Alfie & Bella together on their 1st meeting, that was a crazy freezing cold day! I do have some video but too big to put on here. If I ever figure out how to chop them, i'll put them up.
They are so funny to watch and very sweet. We are sure they knew straight away that they are siblings and to watch them being so kissy and soppy with each other left no doubt in my mind. Alfie definitely acted differently and only does his kissy thing with his sisters!
Plus they are like twins with their characters, do the same weird and wonderful things!
If it wasn't for the colour difference I'd say they were twins as you can see from this 1st photo, lol, its like a mirror image :)
Bella is a beautiful crazy dog and very affectionate, love her to bits and so does Alfie! xxx

Hi guys.
We've had really bad news :( My Kris has been diagnosed with Cancer :(
They are not sure which type yet, its either Lymphoma, Tonsil or Throat Cancer. We should know in next couple of days hopefully. They say the prognosis is good and they can treat with medication & radio/chemo therapy. He may have to have his right tonsil out next week which is booked for Wednesday but they took another core biopsy yesterday and are hoping they get better results as the last one was inconclusive.
He's ok, not ill as such, yet, hopefully he'll be one of the ones who can easily fight it off. Other than that he is a fit & healthy 39 year old. Trying to stay positive but its such as shock. Don't think it will happen to someone so close. Although several family friends are fighting the disease and we sadly lost a lovely old lady recently who was very close with my mum and myself. Will miss her so much, she was not treated very well in hospital and she died in an awful way so that is really playing on my mind now! So many thoughts are swamping my mind. If that wasn't enough my poor 8 year old son came down with Scarlet Fever!! Apparently it's on the rise all over the UK, so parents beware, do your homework and look out for the signs. Its not nice for them and they need antibiotics, its also very contagious so speak with your doctor and school with regards to this. Thankfully he's much better now and back to school today!
Right must go for now.
I will come back to this, just need a little time to deal with things.
Warmest wishes to you all and hope your all enjoying our beautiful weather :)
Sam & a very hot Alfie, who still insists on sleeping in the hottest place ever, the conservatory!! They really are a bit thick aren't they, silly dog! lol.
xxxx
 
Kris has been diagnosed with a high grade (aggressive&fast growing) Non Hodgkins Lymphoma which is more dangerous but also more curable. Gotta have a PET scan & Bone marrow Biopsy today to find out which type as lots of different types and to see if its spread to other parts of body! He'll be radioactive for 6 hrs and has to keep a metre away from kids & pregnant women!! Then back to clinic on the 2nd July & start treatment on the 3rd. ( the sentencing day of Walsh! I'll still be there though!)

He will start with Steroids and has to have Chemotherapy & strong drugs including an antibody & sickness tablets. He will loose his hair & probably become infertile so unfortunately no more kids for us! :( We can get some frozen but with my health the way it is it's doubtful i'll ever be well enough again to have more kids. I'm so scared, god knows how he feels! Just can't believe its all happening!

We told our son & thankfully he took it very well. He's very grown up for an 8 year old and understands things almost like an adult does. He was obviously shocked, bless him, but we kept it really positive & there were no tears, i'm sure they will come though along with many questions over the coming weeks. Dad's going to be a super hero for 6 hours ... Radioactive Dad! LOL

I think being honest with him is the best way to go, they need to learn how to cope with all sorts of situations i guess, just wish it wasn't such an awful one! He's at that age where they do think about death, he has nightmares about it sometimes and is a big worrier! Has sad & scary thoughts alot too. I used to as a child aswel. Wish i could do more to help him, feel bloody useless sometimes. I hope i can cope with all this, doing ok so far, already had a little meltdown so want to stay strong & positive for everyone's sake now, tis hard work!

So... could all you lovely people that i know are reading this thread, please send good luck & healing wishes our way. Its ok to post on this thread now as the wicked witch can't do a thing! ;)

Speaking of the witch, i can't wait to see her squirm, although we know she'll only get a suspended sentence...grrr...but watch this space my friends as there will be a couple of nice surprises for you all very soon, i am very excited but i have to keep sctum for now.

Sentencing is on 3rd July at Norwich Crown Court, ALL WELCOME (except the Evil one & her scum family & friends! You lot can just jog on in the other direction :) )

Please come & show your support guys, i know there are hundreds of you following this thread, so if your nearby or can travel over, come along & join the fun, the more the merrier and if you do, come and say hello to me afterwards :) Most of us are meeting in Adam & Eve's pub round the corner for celebratory drinks ;)

I will post the next victim story very soon, just putting the final bits together but time is very precious at the moment and not enough of it! Will be putting more up soon though.

Hope you are all ok and enjoying our beautiful weather at the moment, when not working anyway!

Right, must go. Take care & big love to you all.

Sam. xxxxx
