I expect you could get Brabanters in England or France as well as in The Netherlands.

I think you can get more in the UK than in the Netherlands, along with Scots Dumpey and maybe even Sulmtaler..I want Sulmtaler in the worst way...

If there is no quarrantine, why not just come home with a big box of chicks? Why bother with the low hatchability?

Did I miss something?

yes there is a quarantine, its around 30 bucks per bird per day for 30 days. adds up fast!!

Congrats!!!!!! I never had any kids and I think those who do (and do a good job raising them) are simply awesome. Toughest job in the world when done right.


Hey you guys, did you see the huge F-up Pasado's did this AM? (As usual! I have a long history with these idiots and believe me they are NO GOOD!)

Evidently someone (and animal expert, mind you) has never seen hunter dumps. So they see what is evidently three dead skinned coyotes on the side of the road (I DO HATE hunters that dump dead animals out in public like that). Anyway, I woke up to BREAKING NEWS on KOMO about "three hideously disfigured dogs DISPLAYED on the side of a road" by some "obvious sick individual". SO PAsado's goes off half cocked,as usual, and grabs this "evidence of a crime" while bleating they will pay $5000 to anyone who can help them solve "the crime" that they, by the way, just ruined the site of for investigation by REAL officers. Get all the little old ladies hysterial and reaching for their check books to make a donation....

Then the sheriff comes on the radio and says "these are more likely than not coyotes which have been skinned, as hunters do cut the head and feet off them to skin them". Last I heard Pasado would not return phone calls and wouldn't hand over the "evidence" to the sheriffs....

This is what is so sad: the so called "experts" these days are young kids, clueless, and running off at the mouth about these sick things they imagine, and I think we will be darn LUCKY to get off without some teenage kid seeing HOW MUCH ATTENTION THIS GOT and doing a "copycat" thing with REAL domestic animals.... So much of the crap humane societies say become self fulfilling prophecies when dumb kids read their stuff.

How do I know? Over 20 years as a professional animal control officer, also consultant to animal control in five countries. As well, myself and two others worked very hard to save 50 dogs that Pasado dumped on a hoarder (who was promptly busted for animal abuse and shut down when we got authorities there) in Arkansas during the "Katrina" debacle, because they wanted to get their pictures in the papers with their PASADA t-shirts on, but h um, didn't want to have to deal with the not-so-cute and adoptable dogs they "saved". They left 50 dgos sitting in the rain in wire cages at this gross facility with over 300 dogs on it (no running water) and 2 people....

Anyway, I'm sorry to rant, but NOTHING T's me off like "animal lovers" who aren't.

I do not know who PASADO is....or what it stands for, but I think I remember hearing about the incident of dumping the dogs off at a "rescue" and she was a hoarder. We have a rescue organization over here....that I would not send my worst enemy too....I think they are ACTUALLY letting cats and dogs breed so they can sell the babies off as "rescues". That is only my opinion (as well as a few others) and this is all it is .... my opinion. Very sad.

I know a woman who rescues goats and I wouldnt send any of my goats to her. I love the woman and what she is trying to do but she will go to meat markest and take them that should really be put down. She wont take the healty one from people so her vet bill is over the edge. But than what happens with all the sick one's if you bring healthy one's in they get what she has there. Its sad, she told one woman who came to get some from me that I was going to bash their heads in.

When the woman came over she knows me and said did you know what she told me to get me here. I will never ask her to find homes for mine ever again...
