Well done you......That took a lot of courage Belinda.

A question, I have just finished reading 'The Basset Hound Owner's Survival Guide' and I noticed in your signature that you owned a basset called Nellie who won obedience titles.
Are you the Belinda and Nellie that she refers to in her book?

Jeez!!!!! small world right enough!!!!!! The picture that the author put in the book of Nellie holding her winning trophy in her mouth is 'priceless'.

Got to say, over here pet shops tend not to sell dogs or cats. I have never seen any .Don't know about down south though.When I asked a pet shop owner why this was, he said that he had a license to do so but in the trade it was considered unethical.

Unfortunately, this doesn't stop puppyfarms from operating as they sell on to brokers who then advertise them in local papers or online.

Agree 100% educating the public is the answer.
