Good lord  :o ph34r  Must not look at these!

It seems to be happening a lot atm, I heard of a byb in Edinburgh the other day who currently has SEVEN 7 week old Working Cocker puppies and no homes for any of them  ::) :-\

what is a "byb"?

I think the current economic situation is affecting sales. I know Mali's breeder is finding it a nightmare to find homes for her new litter.

I think the current economic situation is affecting sales. I know Mali's breeder is finding it a nightmare to find homes for her new litter.

A BYB is short for Backyard breeder; someone who breeds their pet dog for a bit of extra cash, or for the experience - and they have little if any knowledge of bloodlines, health testing or what makes a good example of the breed. they often mate their bitch with a convenient dog, rather than one that compliments the bitch in terms of genetics, temperament and conformity and as a result, the pups can be at risk of health problems, or challenging in terms of temperament.

It is a shame that breeders are finding it hard to home litters; I imagine that even reputable breeders (who usually have homes lined up before the mating) may have had people back out on them if their financial circumstances have changed; I know I would give up a deposit, rather than take on a puppy if I faced the risk of redundancy, for instance :-\

There seems to loads of cockers for sale at the moment, I think you're right - people haven't got the money to take on a puppy with the uncertainty of the current economic climate.   and whether they'll actually have jobs soon - I know its starting to worry me jobwise.
