| i've just been on the kennel club breeding statistic page and noticed in 2005 ,1951 puppies registered 2006, 2361 puppies registered Ten minutes later went on ddb welfare site and then i had a idea IF all the caring and loving ddb breeders out there donated a small sum of money out of each litter they have eg £20 per puppy or £100 per litter to the welfare what a difference it would make | |

| Hiya, the statistics are all on the Welfare site from whence the breed was first bred here.........http://www.ddbwelfare.org.uk/page9.html Your suggestion has been mentioned by a few ddb owners and breeders alike, quite a few breed clubs in other breeds do ask their members for a Welfare/Rescue donation on the sale of a litter, and yes any genuine person with the good of the breed at heart would gladly donate! There are many topics under discussion at the moment with regard to raising money and finding the correct help and homes for the welfare dogues, and it's wonderful to see that there are those like yourself who are willing to come forward with ideas like this............I for one woukd be up for it...............would love to hear everyone else's views too??? Thanks Rach for bringing this to the attention here xxx | |

| Yes it has been mentioned before, and people are donating via Paypal which is easy to do as the site has a paypal button on there, or if prefered a cheque can be made payable to DDB Welfare and sent to my address. The money goes into the DDB Welfare bank account where it is used to help the best we can DDB. DDB Welfare recently donated £500 to help out Boots and we recently rehomed Kia a nine month old male DDB who Helen Johnson helped out greatly with his adoption. There have been many wonderful people who have gave such a lot, in both their time and their donations and we need to carry on pulling together for the breed. My view is that it great to help out in anyway we all can, but as I have said before prevention is better than a cure, and if we all endorse our litters then maybe there will be fewer dogues being sold to pet owners that get bred further down the line to unsuitable stud dogues creating more problems and unwanted litters. www.ddbwelfare.org.uk | |

can anyone tell me what the difference is between a unsuitable stud dog from a suitable stud ? thanks mark not rach The topic was indeed started about how we can raise money for ddbwelfare and as always all ideas are greatly appreciated, and we thank you for yours, but no harm can come by raising the importance of endorsing registrations like I said prevention is better than a cure and the idea of endorsements can only be a good one can't it? And you did mention the statistics of puppies being registered. I think we all have an idea of what is suitable or not to be bred from or indeed to be used at stud. I do not intend in getting into an argument in what should be a topic which invites everyones opinion on how to do better for the breed, and I know it gets some peoples backs up when the mention of endorsements are put in place. But this is my view and I cannot understand why anyone would not agree with this, or why people would go to great lenths in trying to force breeders to lifting them once they have been put into place. There have been many great suggestions of raising money, the one above included, another great idea was to have people sponsor a kennel, and hopefully DDB Welfare will be holding a Fun Day next year to raise money. We appreciate everyones help. Many Thanks Bev Graham | |

| Can I just say here, if anyone who donates would like recognition for their donation we are pleased to say so on the DDB Welfare site! I appreciate that there are many who prefer not to have a mention, but it is not a problem either way, we'd be pleased to publish our 'Thanks' if required? With regard to Breeders: This could be seen as a controversial issue, thanking a breeder who donates from the sale of a litter may be seen as advertising breeding, when the site is there to attract potential owners of Welfare Dogues, it has been mentioned that any breeder who donates regularly or donates from the sale of a litter should get a mention............! Perhaps we could have your views on this subject, but I must stress that the site is NOT to advertise puppies! Another idea also as Bev has said is Kennel Sponsoring! There may well be some who could afford to sponsor a Welfare Kennel for a donation, say monthly or yearly.....at a set figure....these kennels would solely be for Welfare Dogues only, and a plaque be placed with the name of the sponsorer, and again a mention on the web-site.....(by anyone who requires it).....however this brings us once more to the advertisement of Breeders, just need to know what everyone thinks on this idea please? I already have some very interesting views from some conversations I've had regarding this so go for it, honest views are appreciated, unless we put the questions out there then we won't know the thoughts of the public will we??? | |

| what about having some leaflets printed or something to download with welfare logo details on it which could be put into each puppy pack so the new owner are aware of the welfare and the breeder donates to it | |

| Hiya Mark, thanks for your input, if I design a flyer all about DDB Welfare, make it available on the site for anyone to download and print off then that could be included in with 'puppy packs' and also it could be printed off by anyone who would be so kind as to put one up in local pet-shops, Vets, food stores etc etc..........your thoughts please? | |

The endorsement you are refering to is "progeny not eligable for registration" Which means in the case of a bitch that no puppies bred from that bitch could be registered with the K/C. Reputable breeders also give a contract with puppies, stating what requirements should be met to enable this endorsement to be lifted. ie: A requirement for a bitch to reach a certain age before breeding or to hip and elbow score etc Some breeders do not want pet bitches to be bred from at all and therefore will not lift endorsements at all but this should be stated in the contract and the K/C require that the signature of the buyer be obtained by the breeder to say that they understand and agree to these terms at the time of sale | |
