why not just get some breed them and there you go problem solved we also need to try and promote the dog breeds so people who may have not known about these dogs may like to help or use for hunting. just a suggestion
What a fantastic thing you are doing championing rare breeds. I have a norwich which is endagered and a norfolk which is more popular. But i love all terriers especially the more unusually seen ones. I would also love a dandie but my house isnt big enough. Thanks for posting this as i missed it first time round.
The main problem, with the first suggestion, Carolina, is that a reputable breeder should not even CONSIDER a proposed breeding unless he/she has a reasonable amount of forward interest in puppies first.If the enquiries for the breed are not there to begin with, it would be irresponsible to go ahead with a mating then worry about unsold pups later.
Second idea, promotion is the way forward. For anyone who wishes to find out more about any breed, a reminder that Crufts is coming up in early March, where the DISCOVER DOGS hall will feature every breed there is, with many helpful owners on hand to answer questions and give genuine information
Why may i ask will we have to pay “£1000 ” a puppy. It certainly doesnt cost anything near that to rear a puppy.Are they pricing themselves out of the market in a twisted atempt to keep the breeds exclusive”. If so the breeders themselves are not helping !
This is just not true. I arranged for all the dogs to attend and at no time was I asked about the cost of a puppy. For example puppies from Sealyhams and Skye Terriers, 2 of our rarest breeds cost about £450. It is a great shame because this one throw away comment has spoilt an otherwise excellent bit of promotion for these good old fashioned traditional British Breeds, whose numbers continue to decline. Thanks for bringing this matter up, I am happy to clarify.

We have an Irish Red and White Setter; they have been accepted by AKC as of Jan1, 2009, so that will probably increase their exposure here in America. Our pup came from a litter of 14; his breeders are very dedicated to the breed and have a few from Ireland.Best hunting dog I have ever known!!
Irish Red and White Setters aren’t just superb hunting dogs, they make fantastic family pets too, if you give them enough excercise (which is a lot, preferably off the leash). Their wide emotional range make them seem more human than any other dog breed I know.
What is the dog that is brown with white neck and white front legs standing next to the grey dog with white neck. She looks like the same breed as my dog - I’d love to know what breed it is as she loves water and running.
Hi Paul
The time is 049/50 - I’d like to know what the brown dog standing up with head pointing left is - dog has a white neck and brown body.
Thanks

Otterhounds are one of the most ancient of breeds, you can trace back their origins over one thousand years. Perhaps that also have primitive eating and drinking habits too!
Wonderful Breed - enjoy!
I’ve just watched the one on tonight 7/02/2010 about them putting spiders into other caves and there was this acoustic music in the background anyone know who it’s by?

I have one of the greatest breeds of all times - the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. How could Britans not appreciate their own breed?

I have grown up around Irish Water Spaniels and they have amazing personalities…they are surely the clowns of the spaniels
