Due to previous track records & recent bad reports about Asia, it is not difficult to see or understand why we have such bad reputation & misconception as well.
I am here not to defend anyone. May you be comforted to know that there are animals lovers on this part of the world.
Corgis are considered rare in Singapore.
The popularity for this breed has picked up within this 2, 3 years. I have friends who genuinely wanted specific pups,
not just Corgis (As pets, not breeding business) & have contacted breeders from UK, NZ & Aust.
Later, I learnt from them that many breeders refused to sell it to us in Singapore because of all the bad reports all over Asia.
We have a lot of convincing to do.
There will always be bad owners or people who abandon/ abuse/ exploit dogs or other animals & regard them only as "beast".
Scum bags who are out for quick $$$ in the expense of the poor pups & etc.... There will always be people like that.
Even if all breeders decide to stop selling pups over here altogether, it is not going to solve any of the existing puppy milling problems or exploitation entirely.
Yes, I understand that you are also taking great measurement to ensure that no further contributions are made to the statistic of abuse cases.
Please take your time to know / check out the other party while generating your evaluation.
Please take heart to know that there will be a community of animal lovers there (regardless of the number)
who would play their role & commitment to do their part.
In Singapore, our animal lovers community plays an active role.
Through forums, we create awareness & believe in educating others continueously on relevant issues.
We constantly harp on the message to consider adoption first if possible.
All doggie lovers here DO NOT & NOT IN FAVOUR of supporting puppy milling business.
We shared info on caring & maintaining our furkids. We are appreciative to experienced owners who readily share
their knowledge with the rest & contributed in so many other ways.
Many of our existing doggie shelters here are started by animal lovers & majority run & supported by volunteers themselves.
Doggie shelters here takes in, care & home the dogs / cats until they find a proper owner and home.
It is still in operation is still on going. The community here are aware & keen in supporting these shelters.
They are programmes for spaying strays as well.
Bottom line, achievement has been made & increasing measures are being taken continueously to ensure efficiency & effectiveness.
With this, I hope you would know us better here in Singapore.
Just my sharing.
My boy Dexter, an Aussie, is very precious to me. He is my boy.
If i have a kid, the kid would have to respect him as well.
