Omg thats terrible, Well at least you are aware now, I do not understand why people think they can just help themselves to other peoples Animals, its just not right.

Police do know, but when they found out they were gypsies they didn't want to get involved how sad is that

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.

there is always some one in the house but made me think .

oh that is quite worrying, maybe worth a chat to the police just in case perhaps they can do more patrols in your area.

Over here you have to be careful in certain markets/bootsales with travellers. I once saw how a bunch of little kids flock around and would try and un-do the lead and make off with people's dogs when it was busy. It can happen in an instant.

I wouldn't like to cast judgement over a whole community but I think people should be careful.

I will keep a look out because I am in the peterborough area. Its a shame that when it is gyspys(dids as they are called round here) that the police will do nothing about it. We have a few dogs at work, will tell them to be careful as there are lots of camps in the area.

this is probrably irrelevant but i saw some people that seemed like gypsies at a car boot selling dogs it really upset me cos it was hot and they were only puppies but what i found strange is that the puppies were different breeds and seemed to be different ages too i was thinking about reporting it i will if i find them selling them again it really annoys me how they can do that to something so young

i live in nottinghamshire as well btw
