I am interested to hear what all of you think about this years Underdog Show competition and the dogs that have been chosen by the stars. Which one of them is not going to be able to part with their four legged friend this time?

This year we have supplied the show with Diamante Collars and Leads no less (!) so if you haven't yet visited the site please do. I feel that we can't do enough to promote the plight of rescue dogs.

I have always rescued my dogs and have never bought from a breeder or local paper and I have to say that for me personally it has always felt like the right thing to do. I've been incredibly interested to hear all the awful facts surrounding the problems that can be faced when buying a breed. What is going on here, I have many views on all of this but perhaps this is a discussion for a different blog!

So hopefully this years Underdog Show will promote the fact that there are literally hundreds of dogs out there looking for a new home. So if you are really serious dog owners, get off your backsides people and go and support one of your local rescue centres.  Even if you aren't able to give one of their deserving animals a new home how about thinking up ways of being able to drum up some much needed funds for them.
