Blue pups stolen

Firstly, estimate to be worth £1000? Bred for colour much?
Secondly, who leaves two puppies outside that long!

How heartbreaking.

How come they dont know for sure what time they went ?

I assume they were just chucked outside or kept in a shed.

That's terrible , at least if we put Tommy out into the garden I could pin it down to 20 mins...................sometime between 4.00pm and 11.30pm outrageous

I'm beginning to wonder if it's an insurance job. They had a better idea of how much they were worth than where they were ??? The value was bought up in the first line of the report !

not sure. I will try to keep up with it. i would assume they would make a FB page if they were beloved pets, as thats what everyone does so i will snoop about

little suspicious myself

Hmmmm hate to say it but so am I Dave

I feel truly sorry for the pups and what might become of them (depending on which purpose they were stolen for), but I'm sorry, I don't feel any sympathy toward the family for loosing their pups. I will not leave my dogs for more than 30 minutes without checking what they're up to (even Maska who is a year old already).

Poor pups. It seems like they are more concerned about how much they are worth.

Buster is kept outside if we go out and he cant come so maybe they did the same? It says pups, but it doesn't say how old they actually are (bearing in mind they are classed as a pup untill 2 yrs old). If they were young pups however then that is horrible - if I had Buster while he was little then he would never have been left outside for that long alone, infact he would be a 100% inside dog.

As for the £1000, it could be an insurance thing, or that could be how much they paid for them (again, it doesnt say if they bred them or brought them)

I hope if they were stolen that the people that done it are caught

This paper is a paper that is in the very heart of farmer land. They won't be worried about pups being pups to 2yo, a dog is a dog to them so if they say pup i would be inclined to think they were really pups. Unfortunately this also doesnt sit well for what would happen to the pups as it is notorious fighting land.

if my dogs disappeared I would be distraught... I would be printing posters..phoning radio stations.... door knocking.... the price you paid for your pet or what he is worth is of least importance!!!

I just hate to think what might happen to the poor little puppies........... honestly who leaves pups out alone anyway at that time !

Awful!! Poor pups.

I dont care about the owners they shouldn't have left them alone for so long outside. so late aswell, and staffys are known for been territorial dogs and protective over its owners so if any intruders came they would have barked.
dogs can sense danger. it doesnt add up to me, i just hope that the dogs are ok.
