Apparently there is a 1 yr old male Brittany called Benson at Leigh Cat and Dogs home (got this from a springer site and don't have more details re web or phone number) and not being supposed to talk I can't really try to ring them even if I got the number.

He is living in a kennel currently with two other dogs and is intermittently lame.

Just wondered if anybody is near enough to Leigh to confirm he is a Brittany etc etc.

We are going up there this afternoon don't know what time we shall get there though Exclamation

Just going shopping so will check when I get back.
Just had a look at their site....they are not a dogs home they are the council pound. and do-not have a very good reputation either Exclamation

Do a google search and have a look at some of the comments being passed regarding this place Exclamation

PS I have rung Margaret and I will call and have a look at this dog this afternoon and check him out. If he is a Brittany I will let Margaret know and she can take it from there. Perhaps Joanne could spring him from 'clink'. I believe they charge £50 to release them but I'm not sure about that just going by what's been said on various sites Exclamation

If he IS a Brittany, and they have a bad reputation I have no problem with £50 to get him out of there.

John, check with Jan and see if she has managed to go to see this dog

I'm happy to foster the poor thing while you try and find a home. We have a safe and large home and I think it would do Amber good to have some company. I have been thinking of fostering for some time now, i'd rather it was a brittany. Not sure if i've breached all sorts of protocall, but the offer is there and anyone can visit to check out our home.

Thank you for that offer, Tara - I've sent Margaret an email to let her know. All we need to do now is get the dog if he is a Brittany.
