Sorry GMan,
We have a beautiful dog abandoned as a puppy on the street, everytime we take her out someone alway asks where we got her from, did we pay, and can they get one.
Our dog has a wonderful nature and we are so pleased we have her.
On the other hand some dog do have problems, usually inflicted by humans, but then so do some pedigrees.
This is such a small island it would not take long to drive to any of the centres to find the right dog.

Pedigree dogs and breeders should be banned.

Be banned from what????

I am not a breeder, but I have 3 ESS and they are pedigree's.
Should my dogs be banned from Cyprus, because they have a pedigree????

I am sorry, but I have never heard aything so ridiculous in all my life!!!

we get spaniels... many in fact at the paphiakos, just rehomed a clumber spaniel which is now export and will be going to england soon.. i agree that to buy a dog when so many are dumped and disgarded is ethically not good news, but thats because i am a real animal lover and not just looking for the perfect dog. Tough cheese if you dont like the lecture, you dont sound like someone i would want to rehome too anyway.. Get a fast car instead...

UE, just 2 words to you, get stuffed.

You silly judgemental person. You know nothing about me. Just because i like a particular type of dog, i am a monster.

You need to growup, how the hell you are in charge of any animals god only knows. My quest still continues, even if i have to bring it from the UK.

Oh, and what type of car should i get without your pathic ctiticism ?? Or anyone elses for that matter. Your choise of cleches is way out of date lovey, get a life.

Where did I say all rescued dogs are a problem? And a dog brought up well from a puppy is always gonna have less issues than a dog that has been abused and dumped...

Pantheman, isnt it amazing how some people can jump on you just for trying to get something you want? I used to have a japanese akita, now lives with my daughter, everyone said to me, "oh you dont want one of those, nasty aggressive dogs"

Summer, was one of the most loving and quiet dogs I have ever met.. never barked unless someone was loitering nearby, was amazingly tolerant of my daughters annoying jack russell, loved and used to sleep with our cat, and lifetime qualified for Crufts..

Had her from 12 weeks, and she is now 12 and happy and friendly as ever...

I hope you get your ESS, they are lovely, active and fun dogs to own.... I have many lovely memories of my friends ESS out on walks bounding thru long grass...

Thanks G.Man,

at least someone out there understands. My post was entirely innocent, wanting to do the right thing, but oh no, not on this forum. Judging by the mentality on some forum members, what chance does even the cyprus problem have. Anyway, as i said i will keep looking and if the UK is the only route then that will have to be the case.

Thanks again.

Pantheman.

Hey Pantheman,

I can give you the email address of the breeder who bred my dog, if you would like it just PM me.

You know Pantheman, the way you are so aggressive in your posts makes us wonder if you should have a dog at all. We were all just suggesting that you should think about going to a shelter to find what you are looking for because there are so many unhappy and unloved dogs needing homes and you might well find what you want there anyway. We cannot help caring about the animals of Cyprus, obviously not like yourself.

You cannot accuse anyone of not caring for animals, when they want one and care for it!
If Pantheman wants an ESS then that is his choice and we should not condemn him for that.
Lots of pets in Cyprus need loving homes, but if there not the ones you feel you can care for what is the point.

If Cypriot owners were more responsible and have their dogs & bitches neutered, then the problem would be minimal, I know this as I spoke to a neighbour and asked her why she did not have her bitch spayed, as she does not want anymore pups, she replied, "I have better things to spend my money on." Lack of responsibility if you ask me!!

From an observers point of view, your posts have been at least as aggressive as panthemans, probably more so...

Just because he wants a particular type of dog, you feel you have the right to condemn him and say he doesnt care about animals?

Your first post questioned his desire for a Springer Spaniel, and told him to think again...

I know you do a lot of good work rescuing animals, and nobody can doubt your motivation, but you have no right to criticise someones own perfectly acceptable desires just because you have a few animals to rehome...

It would be like me saying you dont care about the environment because you live in a concrete house, with poor insulation...

I am as much against the cruelty to animals as people here as I have had 3 cats poisoned this year! 2 I brought from england, and 1 an adopted stray... but I wont give someone a hard time because they want to have and love a particular breed over a mongrel of potentially unsound breeding and poor upbringing....

It is you that needs to think again...
