We were thrilled to be invited by Aztec Events to speak to dog owners and give talks at these shows. Debbie Connolly and several assistants worked hard trying to help a huge number of dogs and owners. The shows are amazing, not just the usual take your dog, walk round and spend money, there is a huge number of activities. Lovely to see dogs jumping into water, doing agility, scurry, some obedience, all sorts. Continue reading

We have spent a year at least trying to get a very important project off the ground. The idea has to have protection as several have stolen bits of it and made a total mess, including some very well known organisations in dogs. The recent riots have show thousands of young people with no morals, no direction, no options. Help to give them some. Continue reading
I have had the pleasure of meeting Peter on a few occasions and confess to rather fancying him many years ago (sorry Peter, and now too!)
as the neighbour in “Ever Decreasing Circles”. Still as charming and handsome now, Peter works hard highlighting dog welfare problems and particularly helps bull breeds as Chairman of All Dogs Matter. Peter has given some interesting responses to our questions and his love for dogs shines through. Continue reading
Sadly, lots of dogs go missing each day. Some have run off because of a scare, some are allowed to stray regularly and one day go too far, some are stolen, or found and kept. In our experience, most of the dogs in stray pounds aren’t claimed as they were never really wanted, or lost “on purpose”.
Finding your lost dog isn’t easy, but many are reunited, sometimes years later thanks to microchips. Here’s our advice if your dog is lost. Continue reading
I met the lovely Wendy Turner Webster at the Wetnose Animal Awards this year and also had the pleasure of seeing her lovely husband and son. A true animal lover, I can totally sympathise with her responses, especially as I’m also a vegetarian and love pigs!
Thanks to Wendy for doing our interview Continue reading

Many people have watched various TV exposés over the years with secret filming of filthy kennels, circling, terrified bitches, abusive breeders and yet the trade grows. This filming has always been done secretly at various farms in Wales. Continue reading
It’s been a long time coming, but we will shortly launch our Community Dog Clubs. Our aim is to create local pockets of dog lovers who can
share resources and advice and help each other. We’ve all got old leads, beds, toys and more sitting doing nothing and there are plenty of owners in difficult circumstances, having a hard time. Elderly people sometimes need their dog walking, or single owners want a walking buddy. Continue reading
Most people have heard something about puppy farming. They hear the campaigns, they see the secret filming, they look at the picture, yet farms are more prevalent today than ever because people still buy the puppies. The lives of the breeding dogs are miserable. Dumped when no longer commercially viable, a few make it to real homes, most don’t. Think about the fact that there are thousands of puppy farm dogs breeding, yet only a handful out in homes.
This is the story of just one bitch, lucky enough to make it out, many of her companions didn’t. Our thanks to Mrs M for this story: Continue reading
