Strangely enough I encountered two men in a van in Colchester asking me very strange questions about my dog - if he was for sale, age, type, where I got him, if there were breeders in the area e.t.c - He is an Wolfhound and they asked about if he had hunted deer or anything like that.

yeah, so anyone in this area be careful with your dogs. They have some sort of wooden hutch/crate on the top of their van but may not be there another time.
