Barnaby Longdog - fighting against illegal dog importing

Every Serbia rescue dog in the UK is illegal That's quite a statement to make and at the time of doing so, that is what I genuinely believed. After researching, speaking with people both here and across Europe, I could not find anybody importing dogs correctly. Today, I have to correct myself and admit I was wrong, in fact 99.55% of Serbian dogs in the UK are here illegally! Over time, it became clear to me that nobody advertising Serbian rescue dogs for rehoming was bringing them out in accordance with the Serbian and UK regulations. So I submitted a freedom of information  request and waited for the reply.  A quick recap on the regulations -  1)rescue dogs are classed as commercial goods as their movement is for the purpose of transfer of ownership. They CAN NOT come out on pet passport schemes. 2)for non EU countries, regulations differ but include Bosnia, 3 week quarantine, rabies vaccination then leave from a registered facility. Serbia, rabies vaccinatio...

Many of you will be aware that Claudiu worked for Jodie Fairbrother and will be aware of his  accident and whilst it was a truly horrific accident which has impacted on a mans life, it does not entitle him and others to continue their illegal activities in the UK. Below you will see Jane Turner talking to Jodie Fairbrother,  Jane worked with/utilised/used (whatever you want to call it) Jodie's transport to bring in a dogs from Bosnia without the correct documentation.   ( I have now been informed that they were unaware  of the correct procedures and thought the dogs were brought in legally)   As Jane runs a rescue, my opinion is that she had a responsibility to ensure dogs were brought in legally. Not just Jane, anybody bringing dogs in from abroad must ensure they are informed, more so when it involves a non EU country. The pet passport scheme was set up to allow dogs to travel with their owners. The assumption is that owners will ensure their dog...

Dejan Savic, well, what can I say! This man apparently fooled many people. From vets, to transporters, to rescuers to admin on Dachshunds Needing Homes. How many were genuinely fooled though? How many instead just turned a blind eye to the goings on? That is for you to decide, all I can do is present the facts. My instincts told me to steer clear of this man, one of the reasons I refused to give him my phone  number or address and that has proven to have been a very wise decision. As most will know, I did not buy my dog from Dejan and was unaware of Kristine Smiths connection with Dejan. Myth: Dejan was a kind, loving person who rescued street dogs and sent them to a better life.  Truth: Dejan found a way to make easy money as over time he cut corners to maximise profit. Many dogs came from breeders. In one chat below you will see him talking about selling dogs for a friend. Note the Pure bred St Bernards and boxer pups who were too young (under 7 months) to even...

After posting the names of some of the "rescuers" involved in the illegal trafficking of Serbian dogs, I received some vile threats from Dea Bella of Pozega Dogs and Humanimals. Dea also goes by the name of Svetlana Bulajic and runs the trafficking and fund raising operation with her sister Dusica Radulovic. Wendy Feather of Wags N Wet Noses, is the UK counterpart who finds and liaises with UK adopters and fosters. To substantiate my claims, below are a few of the messages I have proving their illegal activity. This was Dea informing Wendy that along with the dogs she was sending, there were antibiotics and heartworm treatment for her...... So Wendy, not only bringing in illegal dogs but sick illegal dogs and administering medication to them or sending it to adopters to administer!!!! These dogs illegally left Serbia to be collected in Romania and given Romanian passports before being sent to the UK. The above messages  are discussing meetings i...

So, this is Sandra, who lives in Serbia and with the aid of a woman from the USA, brings illegal dogs into the UK then tries to justify it! Are you serious Sandra, neither you nor XXXX (I promised confidentiality to this person as they provided evidence for the investigation) live in this country so the potential health risks are of course, irrelevant to you but please do not try and claim this is revenge. What you are doing is illegal and as for nobody talking to Dejan, you know as well as I do that is because he was, in others words, sloppy, didn't care for the dogs, didn't worm or vaccinate, cut corners, was going to cause problems for the rest of you. Just because some of you "might" vaccinate the dogs before they leave Serbia, you know as well as I do they are all leaving Serbia without an FAVN, a CVED and health certificate. They are all put on Romanian chips and passports so they can go through on Romanian TRACE's. You might find a handful of people who...

Unfortunately, yesterday the hatred, bullying and harassment got to the point where I listened to those who have been telling me to report it for weeks and contacted the police. A report has been made against five people for harassment, libel, bullying, inciting hatred and threatening comments. This is not something I have done lightly and at the beginning when it was just the admin of a facebook group accusing me of being a thief and stealing Barnaby, then of being a liar, then claiming my daughter lived in Birmingham, that Barnaby had been take to a apartment, questioning whether he was in quarantine provoking what the authorities call "suspicious" emails to be sent to quarantines and trading standards, silly playground stuff I thought and so I brushed it off and moved on. For the record, I have never been abusive to any of them, not even when it was posted on DNH that I had stolen a dog and should return it. I have stated my opinion that they were complicit in enabling...
