    And all Im supplying is the Breed and contact phone number.
    Im trying to keep the list small so Im only using the most popular breeds.If the breed is not on it contact me and Ill see what I can do.

    Hi, I can't get through to the number (Donegal I think?) for the Bassett hound secretary. I have been trying for a long time to find a breeder. Any help appreciated.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,564 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hellrazer


    You could also try : Ms A Whelan Mullingar 044-71186.

    Thanks Hellrazer. I rang her and she doesn't have any at present and "wasn't able" to tell me the name of any breeders.

    Do you where I might advertise for Bassett pups wanted?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a contact for someone who breeds
    Alaskan Malamutes. Any ideas?

    Cheers.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,564 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hellrazer


    Adrianos----Theres no Alaskan Malamute breeders in Ireland.Any that you do see come from the UK.The UK Kennel club number is 00448706066750.And remember its ok to import a dog from the UK.It doesnt have to be quarantined for 6 months.
    Richie.

    Wolf Hybrids are not a recognised species over her due to their tendency to be unpredictable(supposedly fairly aggressive) and the the fact that there is no regulation regarding the breeding line.

    However try the Irish Kennel Club who may be able to point you in the right direction.Phone number is 01-4533300

    Would there be a lot of hassle involved in bringing a dog in from the UK?
    I have been looking for an Alaskan Malamute for a long time was going to go for an Akita.
    Whats involved in buying a dog from another country?
    Id appreciate any advice.

    The list at the top is not strictly a list of breeders, but a list of the breed club secretaries as featured in the Canine Directory published by the IKC.

    I assume the OP took notice of the note in the front of the directory, about reproducing the info without permission from the IKC....
    ...and I hope they got the relevant permission.
    Some of the people behind the phone numbers might not want their home phone numbers given out over the internet...

    Anyone looking for specific breeds might like to try

    www.champdogs.co.uk

    If you read through all the posts you`ll see that

    1. Ive already credited the IKC with the list which I believe covers the reproduction of the material.

    2. The list can already be found on line with those peoples phone numbers etc here http://www.ikc.ie/buying.html .If there is any problems Ill take the list down and post a link to the above page.Im sure that should calm all your worries.

    I don't mind whether you post it or not, just thought I'd give you a friendly 'heads up'.

    The warning in the front of the Canine Directory is as follows:
    "The information in this brochure cannot be reproduced without the prior permission in writing of the Irish Kennel Club.

    So your credit in (1) isn't quite sufficient....however, as you pointed out, anyone going to the IKC website can access the same info...so what the heck ;o)

    I am looking for a miniature yorkshire terrier breeder does anyone have a contact ???

    and also i know of a breeder of wolf hybrids as i have two myself and can dig up the number for you if you still want it??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭Aidanm


    Anybody know where I can get a bulldog pup.
    Not prepared to pay €2,500 though, as per recent adds in the buy and sell!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    Aimee...would you not be afraid your Wolves would eat the Yorkshire Terrier?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭Aimee_gleeson


    We got the miniature Yorkie and shes a lil terror, she gets along really well with the male wolf-hybrid, she thinks hes her dad and goes asleep on his back. As for his sister i wouldnt let the pup near her as she is more of a guard dog than a house pet. So we have no worries...

    Can anyone tell me the proper name for weiner dogs and whether or not they are bred in Ireland?, much apprecitaed :)

    Yeah, it's "weimaraner" (pronounced vy-mer-anner, it's German).

    Stunning aren't they?

    There are many many perfectly lovley greyhounds in rescues in Ireland, they make such great pets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,132 ✭✭✭Sigma Force


    Here are a few tips if you choose to buy a purebred dog.

    NO1. IKC reg does not gurantee a quality healthy dog, IKG reg are too easy to come by.

    NO2. A good breeder breeds for the love of the breed and not for profit so if you see over priced dogs that's not always a good sign of breeding. To avoid huge vet bills and suffering your new pup has to have at least the 1st vax and have been wormed etc.

    NO3. Never buy a dog from the side of the road a puppy farm etc always ask to see the mother of the dog and if possible the father also, make sure the animals are kept in clean conditions and are healthy and happy.

    NO4. Although pups are cute, consider carefully the breed you are choosing the most commonly bred dogs are dumped in pounds because owners don't realise how much attention they need. Springers, labs and collies etc are all working breeds and need a lot of attention and a lot of excersise.

    No5. Always make sure your new pet comes with legit papers and veterinary information like the vax card and hip score etc.

    No6. If you are not breeding your pet spay or neuter them and keep their vax up to date, also you must put a collar and name tag with your full address and number on it, regualarly worm and de-flea your dog and microchip if possible.

    No7. Keep your dog safe, many many purebred dogs are being stolen out of their gardens and sold or brought to the UK.

    No8. Consider adopting a pure bred from a rescue, dont forget to research the breed fully before buying.

    No9. Dogs cost money pure bred or cross breed they needs proper food and yearly vax, insurance is always a good idea for any dog or cat. Also seek out a good kennel if you need to go away or a reliable neighbour.

    No.10. What ever type of dog you choose they will need basic training to prevent bad habits forming.

    Wiener dogs =sausage dogs= daxies I think?? They occasionally come up in rescues and there is a daxie rescue in Ireland

    As for wolves and their hybrids:

    1) Wolves and their hybrids are an internationally protected species ..it's illegal to have one without a special permit

    2) A real wolf hybrid would make a lousy pet. They are shy to the extreme, almost unresponsive to your garden variety "doggy training", useless as guards, extremely difficult to confine to one area and potentially dangerous once they have reached puberty, as they can be far more aggressive than your average dog when challenged (by you).

    3) What is commonly available as "wolf hybrid" would be either a Saarloos Wolfdog or a Czech Wolfdog. These are dogs that look (almost) like wolves and have real wolves not too far down their ancestry. But even at that, they can be very different from other dogs and are generally not recommended for the novice. Different in as far as they would not conform to the "Jack London" -idea of the loyal-protective-guardian-friend-wolf and be rather shy and stand-offish. And if they were to be aggressive, it would most likely be towards you than against anyone / anything else.

    In short:

    Not really such a good idea, (unless you really know what you're letting yourself in for)

    We have a wolf hybrid malamute, shes a mix between a wolf and an alaskan malamute! We got her mother about 7years ago id say it is now and we didn't realise she was in pup she was so thin but ended up having 9 puppies one died but she looked exactly like a wolf! We kept two one completly white and the other brown and fawn! Say what ya want but the one that passed away recently from epilepsy was just a lil softy at heart and never once had we trouble with him he was like the daddy to our little yorkshire when she was 7weeks old and your telling me they are aggressive in that case we should have a dead yorkie puppy! The sister of the male hybrid is a guard dog for us and the only way she attacks us is with kisses!! Never once got bitten off either of them, and have been bitten off boxers and other "family dogs" ! Nothing to what you are describing them as :D They are the most loyal "dogs" we have ever had.. Weve had a good expierence with them but if you have not expierenced these hybrids you will never know what they are like... :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    And where did the wolf father come from? Are you sure it was a wolf? They are not exactly roaming free in Ireland AFAIK :D

    also have a read of this:
