Re: Grrrrr!!!!


I wonder if thats the same breeder who was in the shop the other day? He wanted us to put up an advertisment selling Maincoons and Laperms. He informed us that he has also bought some of those dwarf kitties from USA for breeding too
I wont tell you what I said coz it wasnt very proffesional of me

If it is the same person, I know he also breeds pomeranians and another small dog breed, but I forget which one now, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs and cats. The guy only lives in a city centre flat

Re: Grrrrr!!!!


Which is why my reply wasnt very proffesional, much more on a personal level but with out swearing, surprisingly enough.

Re: Grrrrr!!!!


Sounds like a call to the local authority may be in order - don't know about Scottish law but there are licence requirements if you have a certain number of breeding bitches in England. And maybe the taxman would be interested too? I don't know what your first step would be - maybe a sympathetic ear in Trading Standards would set the ball rolling.

And are Maine Coons going to be the next inmates of rescues? Fashion then out of fashion?
