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.
