Neil Mackay s Big Read: The inside story on how organised crime gangs took over Scotland s illegal trade in puppies
Neil Mackay s Big Read: The inside story on how organised crime gangs took over Scotland s illegal trade in puppies IT’S little wonder that organised crime has moved in on Scotland’s dog trade. Just look at how the price of a puppy has changed in only a few decades. Back in the mid 90s, a pedigree puppy cost around £50, before Covid the price had risen to about £800. Today, it’s around £2000-3000. A kilo of street cocaine comes in at around £40,000 - that’s roughly the price of 10 high-end French bulldog pups. Why deal in drugs when you can deal in dogs?

Perhaps, the most pressing issue facing animal shelters across South Carolina is the overwhelming number of Pit Bull Type Dogs (PBTDs) entering government and government-contracted facilities. Their disproportionately large numbers, due to a lack of accessible and affordable spay/neuter, create circumstances that place this majestic dog, through no fault of its own, in situations where it is harmed or causes harm to others.
Note: Pit Bull is not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as a specific breed of dog. Rather it is a cadre of breeds, most often associated with American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bullies, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bulldog, along with any mixed breed dog that shares certain physical characteristics with these terrier-type breeds.
