there was another post in the Dog Chat section which has been moved but I am not sure where it has been moved too?

For further info I have spoken with the owner and this is what has happened:

She was living with her parents (who she has never really got along with) while planning to move in with her fiancé and Tia and Skye (plus her two other dogs) were living there with her - all registered to her and owned by her. There are also other dogs living at the property who are owned by her parents.

She had properly planned the matings, all health tests done etc, and has organised everything so that her dogs could have the pups at their new place.

When she went to move them this weekend, her parents didn't say anything about her taking the two other dogs, but wouldn’t let her take her two bitches and the pups. Her dad grabbed the pregnant bitch by her stomach! So she went mad, grabbed him to get him off her and the police were called. They didn’t care about the dogs, just about what they call the 'assault'!! (but that is another matter)...they called the RSPCA about the dogs...who then deemed it fine for them to stay where they are as they didn't want to move them in as one is pregnant, one has now had her pups since this has happened but the owner has not even been able to see them as she is not allowed near her parents house and so cannot go back without risking being arrested again

But as you can see from the above, the parents clearly cannot care too much for the dogs if one was grabbed by the stomach!!!

I was also told the parents are disabled (or one of them?) so cannot even cope with looking after them, and they can hardly look after their own dogs they have which also live there! Because they are family it has all got a bit complicated, but the dogs are registered (KC papers and all) to the daughter, but nobody will help get them back as the police are not interested.

She is now obviously extremely concerned that they do not know how to care for the pups or bitches, dont understand about health testing them (eyes and ears before certain age), or about socialisation etc...and so is desperately trying to get them back but doesn't know how/who to contact for help etc...

A very sad and stressful situation all round!!!
