Hi
New to this site as I was looking for some hens near St. Andrews. Fife.
I have an animal minding business covering N.E. Fife & East Neuk, experience with all livestock/pets. Visit my website www.petcareofstandrews.net if interested.
And still looking for hens! Geebee

Hi Geebee,  :wave:
I'm in Forfar Angus, and I've got 3 x 15 week old Orpington pullets looking for a new home. They are in the marketplace section.
I do like a daytrip to St Andrews (and the cheese shop! :D) so delivery could even be arranged ;)

unless you want to cater for dog owners only I don't think it's a good idea for a B&B. Lots/most kenneled dogs bark/whine/howl and that would put off guests. I don't have facilties for boarding dogs, only do home visits & some house/pet sits. I left my vet nuring job & started this 1 year ago. business is increasing all the time, I can organise my days to suit family & own animal commitments. Best move I ever made.

We would only have one dog at a time, this year, at Christmas, we will have 11 dogs staying with us, 4 of our own and I ganuntee they will all be great together, no poblems...I thought we could have the odd guest with thier dog and hopefully they would not howl (not the guest..the dog) I understan, we breed labs and they have thier own room!!!

of course there are lots of dog owners who are desperate to find somewhere they can take their dogs with them. Ther's an AA book Pet Friendly places to stay you could advertise in. good luck
