Backyard breeding

Hilda and Moo (aka) Minnie and Pumpkin

Hilda and Moo (aka) Minnie and Pumpkin

Just before Christmas Minnie and Pumpkin left the breeding industry. It’s clear both dogs have been overbred and unlike some, they arrived in rescue seriously overweight. This is not a sign of being indulged, it’s most likely they were fed cheap rubbish. Out of date pies is not uncommon food given to dogs in places like puppy farms.

Ella

Ella is a dog who was rescued from a backyard breeder. When she was taken in by Friends of Rescue (FOR) she was in a dreadful state: rotten teeth, infected ears and eyes as well as being severely underweight. It was clear she’d been bred from many times and at just 6 years old her body was worn out.
