Sorry to be bearer of doom and gloom but thought you would all rather know than not...although not pleasant reading....
Would like to advise owners who live in the county there is a known theft gang working the area. Seems not to be ' moving through ' more of the 'fixed ' kind.
We / Kaye have been in discussion's yesterday and today and discovered / been advised that many dogs have been stolen over recent weeks.
One of the reasons is to supply fighting bait.
Sadly our biddable labs are considered perfect for this as they provide and ' easy dog ' for adolescent fighters to cut their teeth on
Also one theft involved 4 JRT's.......they managed to catch 3 of them but the fourth refused to be caught so they ran it over instead
Labs are in the top 3 stolen in the area and just to note, in the top 6 in the country as a whole....
Sorry but forwarned is forarmed
