A Hampshire couple are prepared to lose everything including their home to save their champion breed dogs.

Jenny Manley is determined to fight all the way to the highest courts in the land to save her 31 Siberian huskies.

She was speaking after she and her husband Albert failed in their latest bid to overturn the decision of a district judge who had ruled that the dawn and dusk howling of their Siberian huskies constituted a nuisance to their neighbours.

Now Mrs Manley has vowed to continue her fight to save the dogs, even if it means losing the couple's home at Fawley Road, Hythe.

She said: "We believe we can take this to the High Court. We would lose our home now anyway as our legal costs have gone well over £100,000 so we might as well take our fight as far as possible if we are going to lose everything anyway.

"The welfare of our dogs is paramount to us and we are not prepared to compromise it in anyway. I am hoping the High Court will save our home and our dogs.

"Eight of them are quite old and have medical problems but I will only put them down if there is a medical reason to.

"I don't think half of them will still be here next year because of their problems but I will not put them down just because of a court order."

Following a five-day hearing, Judge Tim Milligan, who sat with two magistrates, ruled in favour of New Forest District Council who maintained the couple had to put in place soundproofing measures at the dog kennels which are adjacent to a hotel.

The Manleys, who have won national competitions including awards at Crufts, argued the proposal was inappropriate and beyond their means. They say the business is a non-profit organisation, there is no prize money at shows and income derived from the selling of puppies goes straight back into the animals' welfare.

Mrs Manley hit the headlines ten years ago when her dogs faced a possible death sentence after the authority served a similar notice.

She launched a lengthy legal battle which ended in 1999 when the High Court upheld her appeal and quashed the order.

Now, eight years after that first landmark judgement, Mrs Manley is hoping the High Court will come to her rescue again after losing the latest noise abatement order which was served by New Forest District Council in October 2005.

The latest legal wrangle follows complaints made by the former owner of the nearby Four Seasons Hotel about the alleged noise of the dogs.

Giving judgement in the case, Judge Milligan said Mr and Mrs Manley had failed to show the measures laid down by the council were impracticable. He said the evidence showed the noise nuisance could be tackled through the lining and boxing in of existing premises, a "perfectly feasible course of action" which would cost £3,500.

He said: "The appellants have not been able to establish the best practicable means are in place as far as noise abatement is concerned, and the appeal is dismissed."

The couple have been breeding Siberian huskies since 1973.

Each female produces up to four litters of between four and five puppies a year.

Although the breeding business may be in jeopardy the Manleys are still not prepared to give up their prize dogs.
