Dog theft up 170 per cent since 2019.

[the other bob wilson]

Far more people seem to own dogs up here compared to Cardiff, but I've not heard of one dog theft in the area during the pandemic.

Every week our local media has reports of people having dogs snatched, people approaching them on walks etc. I have no idea how accurate these are but the concerns are there.
I can certainly understand why dog theft is happening as the prices being charged are sky high.
Since a child I have had dogs but over the last 12 months my beloved two labs died through old age. I looked at some puppies but the asking price was over £2500 per dog. These were recognised breeders with high standards but even so it gives you an idea of what the financial gains are especially if you are a fly by night set up.
In the end I simply gave up and although I miss having a dog they are a big commitment and it has freed up a lot of time for me to start painting again which is also quite time consuming.

I can't understand why anyone would buy a dog, let alone steal one.

A woman I know has just lost her pug , ugly little things to breathing problems , no wonder given the inter breeding

She's just paid 3 grand for another one

Which just keeps the cycle going , no wonder people are nicking them

There are dogs on death row at council and independent dog sanctuaries........go there and give a lonely dog a loving home you selfish bastards

Your pedigree disease infested designer dog is no more special than a stray

I also know a woman who has 12 alsatians. 12 .

These people are odd and need treatment .

Strangely, a lot of single women have dogs. Apparently.

Me too. The jumping all over you part is fine with me. I don't even mind the slobber.

That’s probably because of the ridiculous prices people now manage to sell them for with or without papers.
I saw an advert on Shpock for half bred J.Russells for £900 and he WAS selling them.
Most dog thefts used to be for vivisection but I think that’s changed and its worse in places where young rather daft people have a lot of money and not much sense.
