Traditionally, rescues and breeders have been opposed to each other, but to truly make a difference to dogs in this country, this needs to change. Our involvement in all aspects has led us to realise that with these measures that we propose in place, we will be unique in treating the cause rather than just the symptoms of the problem.
The neutering schemes that have been
adopted by most animal charities, along with the legal responsibility of
councils to employ dog wardens to remove straying dogs from our streets,
has dramatically reduced the amount of un-wanted and un-planned litters,
as such we estimate that at least 90% of litters in this country are planned
and could therefore be controlled.
However, many rescue centres are at crisis levels and overflowing with un-wanted
and abandoned dogs.
This is largely due to irresponsible breeders and puppy farmers who have
realised that by tapping into the pedigree dog market, they can make money,
these breeders do not take on the responsibility that should come with taking
the decision to bring a litter of puppies into the world, and when things
go wrong, it is the rescue centres and local authorities that are left to
pick up the pieces.
There are about 1,000 dogs a week being needlessly destroyed in this country. This is something that Chancepixies Animal Rescue are looking to reduce. But to do this we need people like you to offer their support and by donating to our cause. The more you help, the stronger we are, and the more animals we can save.
Unlike some other countries, we do not
have any form of fit for breeding test in the UK and this is resulting in
too many dogs being bred, with huge numbers being put in rescue and being
destroyed every year. With identification, conformation, health and character
and the breeds themselves being at risk through irresponsible breeders and
owners.
Chancepixies Animal Rescue aim to work together with all those that truly
care about dogs to ultimately reduce the amount of dogs in rescue by making
breeders and owners more responsible, we believe that having such measures
in place would reduce the amount of dogs being abandoned and abused.
Our ideals not only will halt the appalling level of neglect and disregard for dogs in this country, but will also help relieve many of the problems of ill-health in dogs that have been recently highlighted in the media.
It is our unique stand point not only from rescuing and re-homing these dogs, but also from a show, work, training, pet and breeding perspective that has put us in an ideal position to make a difference in the world of dogs in the UK and you can help us.
David has been heavily involved with dogs and their care and wefare for many years. Having owned boarding kennels in the late 1980s and has been involved with Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue and Dobermann Rescue, David took on a hands on role in the successful rehabilitation and rehoming of many dogs. David has had a strong interest in all breeds for many years and after purchasing the Bridledown site he saw for himself the amazing natures and even temperaments of the dogs that came in as strays. Having bought the kennels and continued the stray contracts to the councils and police stations, he soon saw the need for a professional and caring service, where these dogs could be cared for and given a second chance at finding new, permanent homes. This huge responsibility was taken on in the full knowledge, that no dog would be destroyed, unless in the opinion of a qualified veterinarian there was no other choice. With the communities help and support, David and his team hope to be able to continue to provide, and to improve on the ideals he set out to achieve, the idea that every dog deserves to live out their lives in safety and comfort.
David has owned, bred worked
and most notably shown top quality Dobermann since 1980.
David has trained most breeds and is also a Championship show judge in the
UK and has been invited, and fulfilled, judging appointments internationally.
David has also been involved
in the training of dogs for many years, not only solving problems but also
competing himself at the sport of Schutzhund/VPG having bred and/or handled
4 of the first 10 Dobermann ever to gain a full Schutzhund/VPG title in
the UK as well as having taken six Dobermann through a BH, the German Obedience
and Temperament test.
