gutted

[Krisdt]

I have just had to say no to taking a trained working cocker (failed police dog) tricolour dog called Zippy cause I havent got enough money to pay the rehoming cost :04: he is gorgeous and really friendly and I want him and got offered first refusal, how guttd am I :(

[Michelle]

Dont say no, we will have a whip round, seriously phone them back :shock: we can all have a share, but u get to look after him :D whos with me??

[Alpha]

I am really skint but I can stretch to a tenner....you lucky lucky cow,,,promise you bring him with you.
I am on the list for most F****** police stations in central and NW england waiting for one. And private bloody security companies I have had to promise a pup from Lils litter if she is bred in exchange for the next one to be rehomed.
How did you manage this please tell me Krisdt please please please

What a horrible situation to be in :cry:

[Krisdt]

Sorry hhavent been at work to get online. I know the handler and his wife as they come to the gym I work in. I made a random comment about dogs and it led to the whole 'ohhh what type of dog do you have?' conversation. later that night he came up in the car with the 3 dogs he has and brough out little Zippy to meet me I said that if he failed I would have him. because thay know I know cockers the handlers can rehome the dogs to people they know in soem occasions but the handlers wife said I would be ideal as they would still be able to see him. Am still gutted but I have to just try not to think about him too much :cry:

So why aren't you taking us up on our offer.
What are the rehoming costs involved?

[Krisdt]

In total its £515 which covers the cost of the pup and all his vacs/microchip training etc etc etc. I can afford the actual care of ta second dog just not the initial outlay iykwim :(

ETA- I couldnt take up your offer of money as I would feel too guilty :oops:

[Alpha]

OMG that is a lot of money..... :09:
You would think they would do it like other cases and charge a moderate fee for a good home. Rather than actaully getting people to pay that much

[jean]

surely a good home is more important? Id love him! :13: wonder what Rolo would say?!

[MightyMouth]

Whose this interloper? :lol:

[stumpy]

Surely got to be worth £500+ of anyones dosh........it's a cocker!!!! :04: :04: :04:

[lyn]

i am astounded at the price they are asking. its far to much. a good loving home is on offer and they are asking stupid money. i have recently toyed with the idea of letting ellie have a litter. i would love one of her babies and thought the rest of the litter i would donate to the police, hearing for deaf and army. but if they are prepared to let money stand in the way of a loving home for the failed puppies then i def won't bother. i am truly truly shocked. guess my search for a new puppy is back on again. i had a lovely dog lined up for stud too.
krisdt stick to your guns. those people are aking the piss.

[Beth]

Lyn, you can't let Ellie have a litter, i'd have to have one of the pups! :lol:

[Krisdt]

Lyn the money actually goes to the breeders (well at least the bulk of it) for the pup so if you let ellie have a litter and one failed as a police dog then you would get the money from the new owner, plus like beth said I would want one aswell :lol:
