A dearth of puppies was not among the shortages anticipated as a result of the covid-19 crisis, but Britain is suffering from one

a Labrador or a Basset hound,” says Imogen Patton, a maternity nurse from Somerset. “I had to give up, because all the breeders said their pups were sold out before they were even born.”

Pedigree hounds used to be working dogs—breeds created by Victorian aristocrats in a period of heady innovation that produced most modern canines. Pet dogs were mongrels, until rising disposable incomes turned pups into luxury items and drove up demand for Kennel Club-registered breeds. In the past decade a new trend has emerged: the designer crossbreed. These posh mongrels with pure-blood parents are outstripping their pedigree Kennel Club cousins in popularity .

Even where breeders own both stud and bitch and the puppy production-line is therefore unimpeded, there is some reluctance to satisfy the onrush of new customers. “Some people, you can just tell by the language—‘have you got any pups for sale’ or ‘have you got any girls’—and you can tell by the grammar and spelling,” says Brian Dash, who breeds Labrador retrievers. By contrast Stephen Charlton, who breeds Cockapoos , does not screen his customers’ grammar.

Isn’t this another special dog comm? Did I stay on the train to long and miss my connection? Or is your tweet an interpretation of the comm, and I’m just my usual clueless?

The whole puppy mill industry should be illegal. That would solve part of the problem. Then prosecute the illegal mills.

Don’t buy. ADOPT!!!

Anyone who breeds pups for cash and then 'dumps them' is human scum.

Then just do it then. Why the hell are people so frozen with fear by our gov. They won't do what's necessary to stay healthy and safe with doing the work that needs to be done. Just do it. It's bullshit people are willing to die vs fight back!

Takes hugeballs to post a fluffpiece like this one on a day like today.

JonahDispatch Breeders can visit with other breeders, masks, etc., keep their distance, take litters with them and turn them loose to play. If afraid a buyer might get rid of a puppy, SCREEN the buyers relentlessly, which should do anyway, that can always happen.

We don’t deserve dogs, humans are just shitty

There’s been a demand spike too. I was trying to find a puppy for a while. People were selling mixed breed puppies for like $1000 on Craigslist. It was crazy. This little girl’s mother cane into foster pregnant and I got to adopt her. There were 100 applications for her.

Make puppy mills illegal then

That is very true

why u guys using a craply photoshopped image?

Dearth of puppies now. Abandoned dogs in shelters in a few months 🙁

There are plenty of puppies in Syria that need homes, there are plenty of puppies all over the world that need homes. I feel so sorry for people that have no puppies. Wait, no I don’t. Go adopt an adult dog, I’m sure there are plenty waiting for good homes.

Please don’t increase breeding. So many of the adopted animals will be returned.

And puppy scans. Got stung by one on the web. Be careful about getting scammed wherever you live!

Meanwhile human children sit in state-manned prisons.
