michufc Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Why don't the police just search every vehicle going over to Ireland then?, the dog theft racket would crumble over night. Or have the dog stealing vermin got their sophisticated heads together and bought a submarine to take the hundreds of dogs over to the emerald isle?. These guys don't even tax their vans !!!!!. They then take them to the country that is probably the cheapest country in Europe to buy a working dog??. It don't cut much ice does it? I am not the only one who knows about the wide spread stolen dogs that end up in Ireland.and others have mentioned it on this tread I have just shared my friends bad experience with it but you don't seam to like that either. The whole point to all of this is that dogs are being stolen it's no good at all and it's raising awareness about the very sad subject end of.

Dirty Harry Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The scum that steal dogs DO NOT go round marking gates etc for someone to come back. That is a facebook myth. Make it has difficult as possible to get to your dogs and hope and pray.the scum bags don't come around. Houses do get marked with tell tales by criminals to let their mates know which ones to target but I've not heard of it in relation to dog thefts. It's usually to target elderly or vulnerable householders for burglary offences. This is not a Facebook myth as I caught 3 travellers in a house robbing the vulnerable occupant and the gate was marked. They went to prison.

fortune Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thinking of having ours tattooed. Microchips can be removed. Tattoos are a bit more difficult to erase. Re think. >> Two dogs were taken from a kennel in the shoot yard in broad daylight next to a keepers accommodation ( I have posted about this in the past) One has never been found and the other was found wandering about on a street. The dog had been tattooed in the ear and the scum had tried to remove it by burning it out with a flame IE a cigarette lighter. I didn’t see the damage to the dog’s ear but the lads on the shoot said that it was pretty bad. The only way to stop this is to keep the dog inside where it is not there to be just taken away. Another is not to just leave dogs out in the garden. If you were driving along and saw a target out in a garden how long would it take to pull up and snatch a dog? Some might bark but most will come to hand. Even if you saw someone make off with your dog, how long would it take to get out in a car and give chase and how far would they get before you caught up with them? Even if you caught up with them they probably wouldn’t stop until they were in the encampment. Are the plod going to go into said encampment to get a dog back allegedly stolen. NAH forget it. Even if they did go in and did find said dog the scum being questioned would either say that it was a stray, or that they had bought it from a bloke in the pub and prove it was yours. Avoid this by not leaving valuable animals where they can be got away with by scum on float in the vicinity. You wouldn’t leave the car doors open and the keys in the ignition. >> Would you? PS. I remember from some year’s ago that floating scum loaded up a ride on lawn mower into a van in the front yard of a hire company in Ashford in broad daylight. A woman employee saw this and called the manager. The scum were just pulling out of the yard. He rushed into his office and got his car keys and gave chase immediately but by the time he got out into traffic they were gone. He drove all around the town but couldn’t find them. Meanwhile plod was called and given the vehicle details. A patrol car up on the M25 / camera system located the vehicle and van was pulled over. 4 blokes legged it over embankment. Two were captured two got away. The scum said that the van was the other 2 blokes and they were just getting a hitch lift. What was in the back was nothing to do with them. The van was taken to somewhere in Surrey and the machine was kept for months as evidence. The van had been stolen from somewhere. No charges were brought through insufficient evidence. Scum had disappeared anyway. Stolen dog >> Very little chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker boy Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Caught on the m25 coming from Ashford Kent?. Obviously on their way to the lucrative Irish market. Did the manager see " bergul dis eere yard cos its got a cut grasser in" written on the front gate?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Our dogs live in the house and the back is enfolded by high solid fences and solid gates, so it's not visible to the casual passerby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an open top vehicle. I have found most of the bar maids these days only too willing to oblige and go well out of their way to keep a customer happy. Where there is a will there is a way.Try and get the space in the car park of the pup that is nearest to the window, that way you can watch the football as well while you eat you dinner and down a pint?

Working dogs 1234 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi I'm new to this site ,I live in Cheshire and I have noticed dog theft is on the increase around me I often worry about my dogs getting stolen so I invested in a couple of working gsd dogs that seems to keep them away at the end off the day nobody likes getting bitten, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 The amount of gundogs going missing/stolen in my area is really getting a bit worrying! It's all I see on social media site at the moment! The thing I don't understand is well hell are they all going? Am I being stupid but surely selling/buying a gundog you would check where it's come from/ why you sell it etc? Unfortunately a fool and his money are easy parted and I suspect some just don't care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
