Busy times for the #Ayrshire #puppyfarms unfortunately, judging by the increase in our DMs about them☹️ If you are looking for a #labrador 🐶or #cockapoo 🐕then please be very careful who you buy from. Puppy farmers only care about the cash. Keep sending us links to ads please 🙏

From information we've been passed it appears that two of the largest #puppyfarms in #Ayrshire, one in #SouthAyrshire and one in #EastAyrshire are working closely 💰. 'Licenced breeder' doesn't mean everything is above board, always do research before buying a #puppy #GoogleIt

If you are looking to buy a #cockapoo in #Ayrshire then please be wary - the #puppyfarms are busy with loads of ads currently online. Do some basic research before you visit like Google the name of breeder and address they gave you. These people are driven only by money!!

Big increase in DMs past few weeks about suspected dodgy breeders. 😢 Cockapoos seem to be the popular breed this Xmas. No honest and genuine breeder would sell pups in the days before Xmas so run a mile from those who are advertising them. DM us links to ads 🙏

A lot of coverage in news about the dangers and spread of #puppyfarms in Scotland. news.stv.tv/scotland/how-1… One of the busiest times of the year for these farms, do your part by researching the seller before buying. #SayNoToPuppyDealers DM us links to ads, names, phone numbers 🙏

If you are considering committing to getting a dog or puppy then please consider a #rescuedog. So many #coviddogs are being abandoned and in need of help. Islay Dog Rescue is one Ayrshire rescue centre who are at capacity, see this article 👉 news.stv.tv/west-central/i…

Our advice is NOT to buy a #puppy at this time of year. With the amount of dogs been farmed and imported you just can't be sure what you are buying. No genuine breeder would advertise puppies for sale or collection in the days before Christmas. #ADogIsForLife

More upsetting articles about people buying farmed #puppies in Scotland dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/l… So easy for the #puppydealers and #puppyfarmers to put on a good front and make things appear legit. Really need to be careful at this time of year!

You need to be so careful when buying a puppy telegraph.co.uk/christmas/2022… #puppyfarmers present things to seem normal and trick buyers. always have a good look round the sellers property if you can, look for sheds or outbuildings where puppies may be kept. Report any suspicions!

Looking back at all the DM's we received in 2022, just over half of them were concerns about high volume #puppyfarms that were licensed. Think it's about time the politicians look to cap how many puppies one farm or license holder can breed. #ayrshire #puppy

BBC Disclosure well worth a watch bbc.co.uk/news/uk-643464…, disgusting how some dog breeders behave. There is so much money involved you can see why #puppyfarms exist.

If you suspect you are dealing with a #puppyfarm Never purchase the puppy, doing so only helps the crime! Report to SSPCA and Police and tell us is their address are in #Ayrshire Unfortunately Local Authorities have very limited resources so rarely investigate non licensed sites

Thirteen dogs in 'heartbreaking condition' discovered at suspected puppy farm in Ayrshire dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

SSPCA rescues record-breaking 216 dogs from squalor in ten days. buff.ly/4dH1zf8

The SSPCA are right that puppy smuggling will continue while there is a demand. Their failure is in not understanding or dealing with the reasons why that demand is so high. news.stv.tv/west-central/d…

We're receiving lots of messages about a large number of cockapoo’s being sold in East Ayrshire. Please exercise caution and avoid the high-volume breeders, as they are the source of most of our concerns #eastayrshire #puppyfarm #cockapoo

A helpful proposal, however the #puppyfarmers and dodgy breeders don’t give two hoots who buys their puppies, it’s only about the money for them! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
