I received this request for help from Siobain DUCKWORTH

We would like to save these two dogs but our local SPA is bursting at the seams and I have my full compliment of 12 at the moment. You are a long shot, but if you don't ask?

The logistics and timescale of getting a passport does not match with the rescue centers ability to keep them - so England is not an option. I posted it here in the off chance the thread would be read by someone in Europe who might be able to help. _________________ Guy, Ellie, Topaz, Catja and in memory Barley

I realised that but surely the Rescue Centre could be told what an excellent breed this is and give them a stay of execution. I was also letting people know we have rehoming problems in this country,

Pull [n or v] An equal and opposite force perpetrated on both ends of a lead that results in the inevitable tripping and falling of the human involved!!
Good that such old ones were rescued and not just consigned to an incinerator. _________________ Guy, Ellie, Topaz, Catja and in memory Barley

Great News! Now does anyone know a suitable home for two boys - details on our website.
Barney - another orange and white, about 6 years, fine with people and children although not keen on other dogs and doesn't like being left as his present owner works full time. Needs more attention and exercise
Junior who is 2 years old, is presently at an animal sanctuary as his breeder unable to help re-home him. He's very friendly and is fine with people and other dogs.
These boys are in keenels and we need to get them out of there - kennel is no place for a Brittany!!!!!
Sadly no room at this Inn and although Mugi and Chase (to a slightly lesser degree) make friends wherever they go they haven't exactly made a positive impact on peeps who may look for a rescue dog. Mugi is so busy that peeps wanting a quiet life realise that even mature brits won't necessarily fit the bill.
Chase on the otherhand terrifies peeps with his speed, energy and range . He was out on monday with a 15 month old working cocker and when we were looking at how far the dogs would work up the bank the young cocker worked really nicely over about a third of the distances Chase was working. _________________ Sue, Chase and the non-Brittany boys - Brice & Piper.
