Keeping the contact ?

Are you still in contact with the place where you acquired your canine friend ?

I sent a message + photos to Nifty’s breeder and she phoned me last night.
She’s expecting another litter in a week’s time and the mum to be is a full sister to Nifty.
I also keep contact with my horses‘ breeders - I think it’s nice to stay on good terms (where applicable)

the family that i got Max from asked me to stay in touch so they could see how the litter grew up i think its good that they think so much of their pups i love the idea

Nola - no. She came from the Hearing Dogs Association. I think we emailed to say she'd settled ok and that's all.

Chaos - absolutely not. He came from a 'rescue centre' that I now wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

Millie - yes. She's from Danaher, where I go every week. We go back for events and she loves to say hello to everyone, especially a few staff she remembers.

Yes, my OH is friends with who we got Hank from so I often send photos of him, they kept one of his brothers and they send photos back of him too

Definitely not!
I tried for weeks to get them to send me his chip information and I've still heard nothing!

In my opinion anyone who gets their dog out of a car, hands you the lead and gets back in the car and goes is not someone being responsible for their dog!

We're glad we rescued him and can give him what he needs even if he is a little sod!

Lots of very different stories of how the paths of our canine friends crossed ours

Hell No!! Katy was taken from her mum at 5wks old, the 'breeder' from Sheffield then gave her to his niece in Hastings with a 2yr old kid that slapped her & advertised her after a week. Doesn't deserve to know how well & loved she is

We didn't but I get regular news letters from Battersea and donate. They do a reunion once a year (I think) and we have thought about going but haven't actually got round to attending
