Rehome - current prices are ludicrous!! Talk about cashing in.

I dread to think the number of dogs that will end up in rescue over the coming 12 months as people start having to go back to work / travelling etc. Where will the rip off breeders be then I wonder?

We know a breeder of boxers and she and her fellow legit breeder friends are stounded by the prices being asked. Boxers are £2.5k+++ 18 months ago you could have your pick for between £800-£1500.

I'm a massive advocate for rescues and giving a dog a second chance, often they have neded up in rescue through no fault of their own. It tends to be owners who have gone through massive personal changes (separation / divorce / loss of income or home) or an ex-owner who has got the dog and isn't prepared to put the work in on training, exercise, stimulation etc. The dog is rarely the issue and any rescue worth its salt will have done enough work to identify historic issues and assess the dog in a variety of situations.

Whatever you decide, I hope you find a great friend and companion.
