I am really disgusted by The Dog's Trust behaviour in this situation. An extremely responsible breeder, who put so much time, thought and energy from mate selection onwards, trying to to the right thing by the dogs she bred, dismissed out of hand and breeder contract ignored. And yet charities constantly berate breeders.
There is also the very strong possibility that a gundog who was specifically bred to work and compete is now in entirely the wrong home, which doesn't serve the dog or the new owner.
Will definitely be writing to them to express my thoughts.
