Puppies being stolen in my area

[melissa2007]

Its a scary thing, a group of theives is stealing puppies in my area, when I talked to my mom last night she told me 2 litters had been stolen but this morning there was a report of a third litter stolen that was Yorkies and Shih Tzus, This is heart breaking, I hope the puppies are alright.


Puppies Stolen From Mapleton Township Kennel
Another dog kennel in our area has been broken into and valuable puppies have been taken.

The most recent case was over the weekend at a kennel in Mapleton Township, north of Wallenstein. Police have determined that 18 puppies and one adult female dog were taken.

The value of the stolen dogs is estimated at eight thousand dollars.

The puppies taken were Bichon's, Bichon/Poodle Cross, Shih Tzu /Poodle Cross, and a three-year-old Bichon female.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Wellington OPP or Crime Stoppers.

A week ago, 11 puppies were stolen from a kennel near Blyth. They were valued at 47 hundred dollars.

That is awful! I cant belive people have the capabitily of doing things like that :(

I hope the pups are ok!

People are dusgusting. I hope these little pups are still OK though, wherever they may be.

They guess that the people that have stolen them are just taking them to the city to sell them or selling them online in sites like KIJIJI, if anybody knows anything or thinks someting is suspicious please call, I really want these people caught and the puppies returned, I feel that they are going to just keep steeling pups if they don't get caught.
They seem to be targetting small breeds and people that keep there dogs in kennels outside there homes.

You guys take care as well, if I hear anything else I will keep you all updated, lets just pray the pups and the adults that were stolen are safe

This is a terrible thing to happen. I hope they get caught. I know a park near Manchester that had problems last year. When you let your dog of the lead to play, they think it was an organised gang, would coax your dog away with treats, as soon as it went any distance away from you, they would dognap it. It happened to a few purebreds. I cannot imagine the pain of loosing my dog and never knowing what happened to her, or where she ended up. :(

I agree,I would be awful to come home to see all your puppies and dogs had been taken.
Dog Nappers seem to be getting pretty brave, I hear more instances of dogs being taken right out of there owners arms in broad daylight, and to think some people take them at the park.

We've had a rash of English Bulldogs and puppies that were stolen recently.

2 litters and 3 adults in the last month and another litter earlier in the year. One litter was abandoned after the thieves made an anonymous phone call telling where they could be found. The others haven't been found.

They're too recognizable to be sold here, so they've either been taken to another state, someone is stealing them for future breeding stock or they'll be used for bait dogs as they get older.:(

It can't be easy to break into someone's home and steal adult dogs and puppies then find a place to hide them. If these crooks would spend the same amount of effort on finding a real job--they'd probably be good at it.:rolleyes:

Recently, we had a neighbor, interfere in an attempted theft, got the liscense # description of individual. Told the owner all, reported to police and a few days later, when the dog actually did get taken, thief called owner for reward and was greeted by police as she returned the dog!!
