My first dog, Zena, was from a puppy farm. We didn't know what one was back then (I was only 14) and she had lots of problems. All the others have come from breeders after a LOT of research.

Rescue centre. We were his fourth owners in two years as far as I know.
He didn't have the best start.

Re: Where did your dog come from?
We got her naively from a Breeder in Cannock who I then found out came under the BYB category but I wouldn't ever change anything from it , and by what I've seen on here I would say that she was one of the better BYB if there is such a thing , nothing like on Gumtree . Now looking for another and I've been so educated by the forum that I will be only getting a boy from a top class breeder

Maisy came from a lady with 4 kids and 1 on the way, she realised she wasn't going to cope with an 11 month old pup too, she'd only had her a month, we're maisys 4th home... Scooby came from little angles staffie rescue, he was a poundie, god knows how many homes he's had..little angles work wonders with them, all are well assessed and many fostered before rehoming, they keep in touch too...if you looking to rescue try them!

Re: Where did your dog come from?
Ours came from a breeder, mainly due to the fact there there are hardly any Stffords in our shelters, and thats what we wanted. In 6 months (when we were looking for a staff), there was not a single stafford at any of the shelters.

Re: Where did your dog come from?
'Rescued' Troy from an ad on Preloved. Couple had 3 kids and another on the way and don't think they could handle the extra responsibility.
I say rescued because he was underweight, had no muscle mass and had an eye infection and severe ear infection the vet said must of been there for months. Had him at the emergency vets the second night of ownership.
But now he is doing great though he has had his fair number of issues and 2 operations already and I have only had him since May. But I wouldn't turn back the clock because god knows what would of become of him if he remained where is was!

A breeder. One that would appear to be an irresponsible one, unfortunately, but hey, I love Loki and wouldn't change a thing.

Re: Where did your dog come from?
Our last staffie was from the bull terrier rescue. Bruce is from a breeder. We went and rung up several rescues but they either didn't have or wouldn't give us a pup due to my sons age! My wife wanted a pup as she isn't familiar with the breed and was very sceptical. She felt a pup would grow up with him . Needless to say se has fallen in love with him now and the breed!
We did have his brother but took him to the vets on the day we got him and he had several health issues which would of been financially too much.
We returned him to the breeder.
To be fair to them they are dealing with them.)

Re: Where did your dog come from?
Henry was a Christmas present to me from my partner, and was approx. 10 months old when I got him. His original owner owned a stud dog called Boss and got Henry as pick of the litter as a payment. He then moved overseas, and Boss and Henry got given to a family member. BUT Henry was too full on for her and was not getting along with her two fox terriers so she rehomed him to my partner.

Re: Where did your dog come from?
What is the difference between a shelter and a rescue organisation?
Is a shelter a cats and dogs home and a rescue like the rspca?
