The wife instantly fell in love with our two cats and asked if we would sell them with the house.
To some people, pets are just an accessory.
What a flamin' nerve!
And yes, I agree about pets are just accessories to some people, like buying a new mobile.

Re: Lucy's Law and Lockdown
You are right Besoker collies are not on the favourite list for stealing .My collie came from a rescue and there are loads in rescues .
There seems to be a preference too lately for spaniels .
I always share on FB and hope their owners get them back .

You're right Muddy, Cockers are stolen a lot too - and Pugs.

Re: Lucy's Law and Lockdown
When we were actively looking for a dog we saw several puppies for sale .Not once did the sellers inquire anything about us .
They were only interested in selling the pups .
We didn’t go to ‘ reputable ‘ breeders as we were looking for a cross bred .
At last we did what we have always done got a rescue .
Not a pup not a cross bred
But a collie who needed a home
And he’s a wonderful dog

Yes, Mungo looks a lovely boy and I am glad he got in the right hands Muddy.

Re: Lucy's Law and Lockdown
Thank you Mups .I think one reason for the spate in dog theft is the rediculous price of pups .
I have just looked up the price of pups .
Spaniels seem to be £2000+ and french bulldogs seem to start at about £3000.
Labs around £2000.
No wonder people steal them ,
The police are not that interested in dog theft
( I have yet to discover what sort of crime the police are actually interested in )

I agree with everything you say Muddy.
Even if a dog thief is caught, the piddly fine he may get is nothing compared to the profit he's made on selling the dog on.
Dog theft is a very profitable business and will continue while the law stays as it is, and idiots buy from unknown sources.
