Have posted earlier.
I wonder if anyone would be willing to check the advertisement regarding a dog ( one of two ) we are considering buying please?
I cannot send a link .
However, if you-
. Go to the Kennel Club website.
Type Bichon - Its the second ad down. Mansfield based.

Honest opinion much appreciated- especially re predicability of breed standard / temperament.

I think she has chosen the lines on recommendation of an established breeder and is a home breeder. The mother was imported . ( i am unsure how i feel
about this . The lady is Eastern European and her English is her second language , some some nuances are difficult- she seems to talk about the importance of the lines and that ee cannot breed from the pup -?? not that we want to )

She says she will issue warranty contract - see ad .

Please let me know thoughts.

It’s pretty standard from good breeders to have breeding restrictions on the line (female puppies) however I think she’s 100% a prolific breeder as the dad has sired 45 litters which is insane. Both parents pass the health tests though which is good but that amount of litters to me suggests back yard breeder. How can she possibly ensure every bitch he is with has passed tests and the litter ‘enhances the breed’ rather than ‘here’s an intact male it costs £300 per go’

I’ve had a look and managed to find out other info online. I’d be very dubious and go as far to say I’d doubt they are KC assured breeders, I’m not sure how easy it would be to fake this using a valid members login details. From having seen other accounts belonging to that person, along with lack of pics etc I wouldn’t go for it sorry OP. I have found the same puppies on another site with no mention of being KC assured nor 6 months KC insurance and no vaccinations.

We found our breeder through Champdogs and there are quite a few registered for the breed you are looking for.

good luck in your search.

I agree with Everything said here. Have a look at champrogs and set up puppy alerts. Get on a waiting list and you’ll be guaranteed a good pup. Sorry this person sounds like a scammer

what she means by the lines is the pedigree, my dogs mother was also his grandmother which obviously makes for bad breeding. looking at the pedigree of these pups it looks fine and looks like they have not been interbred. i personally would not buy a pedigree of any sort now as so many health issues. i would get a rescue but good luck in whatever you decide

Thank you . I've ramg the kennel club personally already about the ad and they are definitely t
through them - does this mean that they ate legitimate or do
you mean that they are tricking the kennel club ?

The mum has had one litter
the dad is a champion dog that has many litters.

are you meaning that the ad on the kennel club website could be fooling the kennel club / scammers.

Potentially I think they are using someone else’s breeder status but I don’t know how strictly KC verify these things. I just had a bad feeling about it and seemed very cold in comparison to others. I personally wouldn’t buy from them. The other website will try find link it wasn’t Mansfield but could just deliver dogs if on puppy farm. Found her insta page too and not really dog breeder but maybe I’m being unfair

Woldspace · 09/09/2025 07:01

If it helps - the breeder is Eastern Europe in origin and English nis her second language.
she imported the bitch from her friend Lutherans - see ref on kennel club re mum of
litter.

I was just wondering wether this affected language on ad .
I think that she may be in it for the money- saying that the mum had a lovely nature , pups clean , but its hard to gauge owner due to slight language differences
Id the ad on pets for homes also ? Is it that one ?

She says she is not really a breeder
buy tales advice from one .

Woldspace · 09/09/2025 07:04

Hereforthechat79 Do you think that if I contact the kennel club that will help me verify things or do you mean that potentially the kennel club coukd be being fooled .
thank you .

I’m just giving you my gut feeling on the other website they are priced at £2700 each which is also ridiculous. I’d contact breeders in champdogs and she isn’t mentioned on there

There’s a lot of inbreeding if you look at one of the posts above who explains it well. Your call OP

I did ring the kennel club about that -and they looked at the scores around that and the official at Kc said that they considered it fine as it was below a score by which they said they measured inbreeding? is hard . !
