@ellemaylawx You need to get yourself around the pound tomorrow & adopt a new playmate. When a dog is used to company they crave it when one is lost. I know. One of mine died & the other passed away afterwards. She was distraught after losing her Buddy ☹️

While I’ll always champion any effort to clean up the game I find it very hard to understand a 12 year ban for stopping a few as we all know it happens more often & is ignored. Welfare & integrity we are told is paramount but a licenced trainer only got 15 months for this 🤷‍♀️
