If you haven’t met Barney he is the one on the left. Barney & his sister (Betty) were found by the volunteers at Pacsi Kutyamenhely Alapitvany back in May and both since have found a loving home in the UK through us (Paw Pose Rescue UK).
On arriving in the UK Barney was detained at the port, after failing an ageing assessment, carried out by an APHA assigned vet. HOWEVER his sister was cleared and released.
APHA are under the impression following the incorrect report, that Barney is 12-13 weeks. We have provided evidence to prove that this is completely inaccurate. For example, if Barney was the age APHA suggest, he would have been new born at the beginning of May. As you can see in the time line below they both where not. In fact they would have been approximately 9-10 weeks in March.
Here is the time line :
