I hate to sound rude or patronising but i would never leave my pets with a kennels that i hadn't actually seen.I would definately check it out first chris.I am sure these people are genuine-and if they are,then they will have no objection to you going and having a snoop around.Like i said,i am sure they are fine,but the horror stories are real-take it from me-i work in that industry (registered veterinary nurse)
It just seems a little odd that they pick them up and drop them off.
-
I thought the same thing. They sound great but I would have to see for myself where they would be staying just for peace of mind.
-
The reason why they pick them up and drop them off is that the kennels are near Saklikent. I am sure that if people had to drop them off there they would get no business. True we have not visited the kennels, but we have put our dogs there twice now and each time we pick them up they are well nourished, well hydrated and healthy. They are pleased to see us, say hello and then return to the owners of the kennels to give them a fuss too. If they had been badly treated I do not think they would make a fuss of the owners, do you?
No offence taken, I agree that you should visit the kennels if you want to put your mind at ease. We did not because we were recommended to them by several people who had visited and had no problems at all with their dogs.
-
Anyone who places their pets without first checking out the kennels is (excuse the pun) barking mad.
If these people will not let you view then obviously don't touch them with a barge -pole.
-
See your point Eric.My dog was more interested in running back to the kennel lady than us when we returned from holiday this summer.(I have to admit i was slightly gutted)I would say that is a good sign they are lovely people.

Did anyone say they will not let owners view? Nobody gets things completely wrong as consistently as you Chris, it's almost admirable.
-
I did not say they would not let us view their kennels, they were perfectly happy to let us view. We did not bother because of the good references we had from friends who had put their dogs there. We trusted our friends and have not lived to regret it.
-
Sorry,feel i need to clear something.Nobody actually said that they couldn't view the kennels,though it wasn't clear and i saw that chris had asked on the forum if it was possible.I was simply offering friendly advice,as i know someone who got a nasty surprise through the same type of service in the u.k.I hope i haven't offended any pet owners or kennel owners.As all pet owners know,it is a lot of trust we put in the people who look after them and i would hate somebody to get caught out.

You didn't have to clear anything up - everyone understood what you said, even Chris; he just chose to make his emotive statement based on something that nobody had actually said. This is normal for him.
-
ok- no worries
-
Scunner, please read what I actually said. I said "IF these people will not let you view......''. I did not accuse them of not letting a potential owner view their kennels. My statement was not emotive.
As ususal you come on the Uzumlu site to stir things up - it has been a bit quiet on here lately.
As I've said before on here, I expect your site makes more cash the more hits it gets. Perhaps your cash flow is a bit low at present and a bit of Chris baiting will get the tills ringing? Now that is emotive!
-
As usual I come on the Uzumlu site to stir things up? Am I not allowed in this bit then?
For your information Mr Tippex, your suspicion that the site makes more money the more hits it gets is entirely wrong. That doesn't surprise me as most things don't, if they are written by an idiot.
-
Scunner, you can do what you like, write what you like - it is of no relevance to me. I have far more important issues in my life than concerning myself with your petty gibes.
Most web sites rely on high visitor numbers to attract increased advertising revenue - good luck to CBF if this is not the case.
-
What petty jibes Chris? I said IF they were written by an idiot, I got that particular kop out from your earlier reply. I thought you'd be impressed :D
-
Bloody hell you get a simple request for a dog kennel and the whole request turns into a major debate and a load of nit picking negative remarks i have come to the conclusion that some of the contributors to this forum are a sad bunch with to much time on their hands.
Come on children stop bickering and be more positive.
-
Really? I came to that conclusion on the 25th of November 2005.
-
it's 'too' much time on their hands
-
Stop nit picking. Actually, it's "nitpicking".
-
I thought nitpickers were crucial to dog kennels
-
Gosh its good to be back see nowt has changed!
