Magaly Dado · 23-06-2003 9:39pm

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.

Hellrazer · 24-06-2003 10:06am

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

Magaly Dado · 24-06-2003 8:24pm

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?

adrianos · 29-07-2003 3:04pm

Hi,

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

Cheers.

Hellrazer · 29-07-2003 3:45pm

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.

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.

Enilorac · 17-02-2004 5:08pm

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

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

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)

Aimee_gleeson · 03-03-2004 6:00pm

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??

Aidanm · 18-03-2004 11:45am

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!

Nala · 15-04-2004 5:57pm

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

Aimee_gleeson · 29-05-2004 4:52pm

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...

Magnolia_Fan · 01-07-2004 12:14am

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

IrishPrincess · 03-09-2004 7:14pm

Stunning aren't they?

Sigma Force · 06-01-2005 4:22pm

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

Sigma Force · 06-01-2005 4:36pm

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

peasant · 28-02-2005 2:42pm

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

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:

peasant · 07-04-2005 8:45pm

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

also have a read of this:

If you read when the original post was put up it reads July 2003.That was 2 years ago.At the time I could not find any breeders in Ireland and was told by the kennel club that the nearest breeder was UK based.I did my research on the breed in question and supplied the person who asked the question with the UK breeders phone number.

So instead of coming on here and acusing me of being out and out wrong you could be a bit more constructive with your posts and name the breeder and give a contact number so others interested in purchasing a pup could contact them.

i will have the number and all relevant contact details for the breeder in question up tomorrow and if anyone on the site who has an alaskan malamute bitch and is interested in breeding off her give me a pm and as for the excuse with the date. the breeder is ikc registered for the past few years maybe u shud do your looking into things a lot better

Hellrazer · 28-05-2005 10:57am

Is not "an excuse" with the date as you so kindly put it.

I got my info directly from the Irish Kennel club.And "at the time" there were no "registered" Alaskan Malamute breeders on the IKCs books.
If hes been IKC registered for "a few years" then why couldnt the Kennel Club give me the number 2 years ago.As I said I did look into things as much as I could possibly do at the time and still only came up with the UK breeder.

Maybe this breeder in Tipp was breeding a few years back but was not IKC registered and as most of the posters here know its unwise to buy from a non-registered breeder.

DArcy · 29-05-2005 4:55pm

Dear me we're getting very narky in here :rolleyes:

Thanks Hellrazer, very helpful. I think I'm gonna ring up the boxer place tomorrow (looking to get a pedigree pup). If anyone has any more numbers for boxers, that'd be appreciated too. Thanks.

As far as I know, Pit Bulls are banned in this country.

Dave! · 26-08-2005 11:48pm

^
They're not banned, they just have certain regulations imposed on them, along with other dogs.

Click and click

Rules relating to certain breeds of dog

The Control of Dogs (Restriction of Certain Dogs) Regulations, 1991 impose additional rules in relation to the following breeds (and strains/cross-breeds) of dog in Ireland:

* American Pit Bull Terrier
* English Bull Terrier
* Staffordshire Bull Terrier
* Bull Mastiff
* Doberman Pinscher
* German Shepherd (Alsatian)
* Rhodesian Ridgeback
* Rottweiler
* Japanese Akita
* Japanese Tosa
* Bandog

The rules state that:

* These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must be kept on a short strong lead by a person over 16 years who is capable of controlling them
* These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must be muzzled whenever they are in a public place
* These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must wear a collar bearing the name and address of their owner at all times.

Vistors to the Eire who intend to stay for less than thirty days are not required to get a dog licenec those who stay over thirty days are. In addition, there are a number of breeds that are required to be under strict control in the Republic of Ireland. These are Bandogs, American Pit Bull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Mastiffs, Doberman Pinschers, English Bull Terriers, German Shepherd (Alsatians), Japanese Akitas, Japanese Tosas, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweilers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers including any other strain or cross or every breed or type of dog so described.

It is necessary to have these dogs controlled by a sufficiently strong chain or leash not more than one metre in length and by a person over the age of 16 years of age who is capable of controlling the dog.

Further, these dogs must be muzzled while in a public place. These dogs must also have collars which identify the dog and give an address.

Dave! · 27-08-2005 2:57pm

grrg, I rang up the number for the boxers, but the fella only had numbers for brindle ones, he doesn't know where I'd get fawn. There doesn't seem to be any in the Buy and Sell either (in Dublin)! I rang up the Irish Boxer Obedience Club and the fella gave me a number of some woman in Wexford who might know breeders, so I'll give that a ring in a while.

Anyone happen to know any breeders in Dublin? I wouldn't mind driving down the country myself, but unfortunately I'm not driving yet, and I can't drag my dad all over the place.

Can anyone tell me please where I might find a breeder of yorkies, mini or otherwise? I've tried the number shown on this thread but that lady only has male pups and I'm looking for a female. I'm in Dublin so if anyone could point me in the direction of any breeders in the surrounding areas it would be greatly appreciated

Dan-The-Man · 12-10-2005 2:31pm

Could someone tell me if it is possible to own a Siberian Husky while having two half lion-head rabbits?? Will its Instincts prevail?? Will it kill them?? If i got a young Siberian Husky and it grew up with them would they be ok?? And how much should a good quality pup cost?? Also any contacts for breeders would be great

Cheers

Sigma Force · 12-10-2005 4:14pm

Firstly the animals you have already come first when condsidering taking on any other, although I don't see the problem in keeping any type of dog while you have rabbits, problems arise when the rabbits have no secure dog proof area.
So basically if you have a dog proof area for your rabbits and your dog can't get near them then I don't see why not. However that breed of dog is large and strong mind you so are terriers when they want to get at something and they are little.
Our dogs are not allowed in with our rabbits even though one of our dogs more than likley would rather eat out of their dish than eat them our collie would do damage if she got her paws on them.
So saftey first, and never leave them unsupervised and never leave the rabbits loose with the dog. Even though some dogs get on fine with rabbits a rabbit can get hurt from the sheer size of the dog, rabbits have a habit of getting under your feet and getting stepped on.
We use a Cill Dara dog run with covered roof to keep our rabbits secure, I figure a dog run keeps dogs in it can also keep dogs out. If they are house bunnies then mabey if you have room you could have one specific room just for the buns.

If you are willing to travel you may get a pedigree fawn boxer of Ann Ingram of Tirkane boxers and poodles... www.tirkane.com

And the list which is given that has the numbers is a vilation of the IKC rules..if people just visted the IKC webiste they would get the full list...i know for sure that the secatary of the Poodle Club of Ireland gets enough phone calls everyday without having another advert!
