I have one of the greatest breeds of all times – the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. How could Britans not appreciate their own breed?

Second idea, …
Second idea, promotion is the way forward. For anyone who wishes to find out more about any breed, a reminder that Crufts is coming up in early March, where the DISCOVER DOGS hall will feature every breed there is, with many helpful owners on hand to answer questions and give genuine information

The main problem, …
The main problem, with the first suggestion, Carolina, is that a reputable breeder should not even CONSIDER a proposed breeding unless he/she has a reasonable amount of forward interest in puppies first.If the enquiries for the breed are not there to begin with, it would be irresponsible to go ahead with a mating then worry about unsold pups later.

What a fantastic …
What a fantastic thing you are doing championing rare breeds. I have a norwich which is endagered and a norfolk which is more popular. But i love all terriers especially the more unusually seen ones. I would also love a dandie but my house isnt big enough. Thanks for posting this as i missed it first time round.

We have an Irish Red and White Setter; they have been accepted by AKC as of Jan1, 2009, so that will probably increase their exposure here in America. Our pup came from a litter of 14; his breeders are very dedicated to the breed and have a few from Ireland.Best hunting dog I have ever known!!

This is just not …
This is just not true. I arranged for all the dogs to attend and at no time was I asked about the cost of a puppy. For example puppies from Sealyhams and Skye Terriers, 2 of our rarest breeds cost about £450. It is a great shame because this one throw away comment has spoilt an otherwise excellent bit of promotion for these good old fashioned traditional British Breeds, whose numbers continue to decline. Thanks for bringing this matter up, I am happy to clarify.
