5 dogs which were stolen along with my vehicle on Friday evening at 16.58 from a village just outside of Tonbridge, Kent.
Tails were all docked...cockers 1/2 dock and springers 1/3 off. No collars
Springers were quite distinct in as much as they were more mottled in colour rather than clear solid liver or black patches
Dog 1 black cocker spaniel bitch 6 months old with white front
Dog 2 black cocker spaniel bitch 9 months old
Dog 3 liver and white springer spaniel bitch 8 months old
Dog 4 black and white springer spaniel dog 8 months old (herby)
Dog 5 black and white springer spaniel dog 2.5 years old (twig)
Please look out for them maybe dumped somewhere, or being sold on...thanks :'(
NB:These are not my dogs by the way,I have cross posted from doglost.co.uk
-
so sorry - this is terrible :'(
-
So sorry this has happened.
-
oh my god, that's just awful, hope they are found.
-
It must be devastating for the owner. I hope they are found safe and well very quickly.
-
I'm sorry I live too far away to be of any real help but I hope the dogs are returned soon.x
-
How terrible, what a nightmare for the owners. Hope that they are reunited soon. :'(

Here's some more info on this unfortunate incident :'( If
Theft of vehicle and 5 working dogs
Last Friday night Chris Burns, who is our Chief Beater for the Stonewall Park Shoot near Penshurst, had his Landrover stolen from outside his house in Leigh, Tonbridge area, including 5 dogs.
The vehicle is a Landrover Defender Pickup .The vehicle is green with slight damage to the front nearside. It has a very distinctive Ifor Williams aluminium box on the back. The spare wheel has a cover with a springer spaniel on it. It is likely that identifying marks may have been removed by the thieves.
The dogs comprise : 2 Black cocker bitches,one with a white bib.
1 Black& white springer, 8 months old
1 Liver and white springer bitch,8 months old
1 Black & white springer dog , 30 m0nths old.
You may be offered these animals or see people out with them .If you do contact me by email or mobile on 07860 829 083, or for more info speak to Chris Burns on 07932 078 708 or emaii chris@breezeleafspaniels.co.uk . Or call the Police.
Would you please circulate this email to all your shooting,fishing and country friends and request that they in turn forward to their contacts. Thank you.

Awful.
The thieves presumably wanted the Landrover, so I hope the dogs were released . I expect the vehicle is in Eastern Europe by now, as that is the favoured destination for stolen tractors and diggers.
Hope they are found soon.

I doubt it was for the Landrover. These dogs are pretty well known. Chris Burns has featured in shooting magazines and many people I know follow his training videos avidly (including my OH). Since the dogs are all pretty distinctive, it is unlikely that they are going to show up on a shoot where they will be recognized. So that just leaves breeding ...... The thought that these wonderful dogs used to a life of decency, kindness and freedom might end up on the production line just fills me with horror. I know how this owner must feel. We have spent over a year fruitlessly searching for a similarly wonderful working springer stolen from Kirkby Stephen. The possibility that she was stolen to order will not go away. Keep looking people.

AnnieG..... That is too dreadful to contemplate....but puppies will be distinguishable though.... so we will need to look in the free adds regularly! :'(
Which Springer are you looking for is it on doglost.co.uk ? ph34r

Its a gorgeous springer bitch called Pip :'( She's featured on dog lost under CA17 postcode, stolen last year from a secure walled garden that's tucked away along a private drive in the middle of Kirkby Stephen. Clearly someone knew where she was and was determined enough to break in to steal her :-\ She looks very distinctive with quite a snipey muzzle.
Please look out for her!! :-*

Yes I remember poor girl was she neutered?
I will ask that she is put in Countryman's weekly by doglost.co.uk
I would also suggest owner re advertises with reward (no value please) as this time of year all types need the money.
-
No she wasn't neutered. She was an old girl (about 9 I think) but she looked much younger because she was so fit. I think that there was also an undisclosed reward for her too.
That's a good idea about re advertising Pip on doglost. I think that annieG might have sorted out the online stuff for the owner (as he's not very computer savvy) so hopefully she'll read this and maybe re-do the post.
Thank you for offering to put her in countrymans weekly, that would be fab :-*

No problem at all...yes advertise on doglost but really mean in the free papers like Tradeit.co.uk addtrader.co.uk etc, as those types that steal look in them..and reposter want her home for Christmas and substantial reward for information leading to her return something like that.
Can not remember if she was microchipped but also do the Rescues again.
Hope this helps?

Thank you very much springs :-*
Will set some adverts up in the free ads.

It is sad enough thta any dogs live a life like this but to imagine it happening to a dog you have loved and has enjoyed a good life it is just so tragic! :'( :'(
I really hope these poor dogs are found.

I'm busily putting Pips details on free ads (obviously not putting her name etc.. just description and photo) I hope the free ads companies allow me to do this, if not I suppose I'll get a ticking off, but it;s worth it for little Pip :luv:

I bet the owner would have given them the Landrover if he could have his dogs back. I would. I really hope they are found soon.

This one was found on the 15th..........we just need to find the other four now ph34r
-
Great news that one of them has been found...hope the rest are also found soon :luv:
-
That is hopeful. If one is alright hopefully all the others are as well.
-
Thats fantastic news, fingers crossed it wont be too long before the others are found! welcome home little one.
-
Thats so good, fingers crossed for the others turning up. I hope all the local dog centres are more efficient at identifying lost dogs than the ones near me. If you dont physically go there , they dont put two and two together, they're so busy and the dogs are scattered around local Kennels as overflow.
-
I know they have their heads down getting on with it and often don't think or have the time to check doglost or even scan for a chip....but If you can find the owner that frees up space and funds come in that way...it just needs one dedicated person to check this out.
-
Just seen this on another site - is there any news on the remaining dogs?
-
Glad one has been found. The falconners on IFF have also been informed so they should also be on the look out.
