So the breeder keeps napping him to use as free stud? I think someone's pips might need to go you choose which

Lucky guess (plus she had been mouthing off over it)
This is starting to feel like an interrogation, it was over 7 years ago and I only replied as it was relevant to the op

Dogs nuts are long gone

It certainly happens one of the countries top Cocker Kennels was done reasonably recently. Two dogs have gone around my area one cocker one Lab and I am told its prevalent in the South lakes. Sometimes its for re-sale, sometimes it for ransom occasionally it might be for bait dogs used to build a fighting dogs confidence I believe.

One word comes to mind for all the lowlifes who partake in dog theft

There's a bit of history of this happening in South Wales too, particularly 'bait dogs'. What was being witnessed in one particular area was a Transit pick up with the odd bit of scrap in the back touring the back lanes, a young lad would be standing in the back, looking over back garden walls. When challenged he'd always say he was looking for scrap metal, but over the weeks they were seen, the amount and type of scrap in the back never changed, however, dogs went missing. People made a connection, whether right or wrong, the police were given the van number and nothing more was heard. No more was seen of the Transit and dogs stopped disappearing. One of the South Wales valleys Face Book Groups covered it with photos of the van and the guy on the back.

My dad had his Weimaraner stolen many years ago, it was a top gun dog, everyone knew we had it and used it to its full potential as we were often see over the field but my old man is Dr and word will have got round. Any way, after much detective work and my dad nearly being killed in a car crash while following a "lead" he finnaly got word that she was on a farm somewhere, so he went up the track and saw that they sold eggs, banged on the door and heard the bark of a Weimaraner and was that convinced that it was his he rang the police, I distinctly remember him walking through the house at 5am and I got out of bed and asked him where he was going, he said he had to go and see a patient, Two hours later I heard four paws come thundering up the stairs and was soon getting lots of kisses and cuddles from Pru the mutt. we were back in the fields that morning.. All this took around 6 months and the family were devastated that she had been stolen, but at the time Weimaraner's were quite rare around our way. Turned out it was the bloke that delivered coal to us and the cottages down the lane who worked on an industrial estate 1/4 of a mile away.
