Does anyone know of Apricot toy poodle breeders (poodle breeders) in Scotland?

My mum and dad just lost their beloved apricot toy poodle and miss her very much. My mum is 76 and my dad will be 80 in May. The little dog gave them a reason to go out walking and to keep active. They also enjoyed the interaction with people they met on their walks, who stopped to admire and say how well behaved/friendly and cute their little dog was. They seem lost without her. I intended to buy my dad a new puppy for his birthday (or around the time of his birthday if possible), which i know will not replace their little dog but would be loved just as much but after searching the web i have been unable to locate any breeders in Scotland. There are a couple i found in the south of England which is 100s of miles away and makes it very difficult for me to view/collect a puppy. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanking you in anticipation.

Reply:I agree with what someone else mentioned, you should really have them adopt an older dog. I highly doubt they have the energy to chase around a puppy and train it, not to mention that puppy could very well live for 20 years, and your parents are, sadly, in their twilight years. It's important to plan for an animal's entire life before you bring it into your family. I'm not sure a reputable breeder would even agree to sell you a pup knowing that it is intended for seniors. Why not let them spend their golden years with a dog that is in the same place they are? Plenty of homeless dogs need a quiet loving home to finish out their days.
Reply:Have you considered going to a local animal shelter and asking if they will do a gift certificate? Sounds weird but the shelter I used to work at would do that.



I'm sure your parents would prefer to choose their own dog.
Reply:Have you tried champdogs website? They have a list of breeders. Also try epupz and the kennel club has a list of breeders. Also try the Poodle bred clubs as they often know who has a litter or has one planned.
Reply:I would suggest that you consider adopting an older dog in need of a home. And make sure that your parents want a dog! It would be lovely to take them to a shelter and let them pick out any dog they wanted,with you footing the bill. Be aware that your parents are getting on in age, and may not be able to fully care for the dog for its entire life. See if your shelter has a "senior dogs for seniors" program.
