Two BORDER COLLIES, Tia & Skye have been STOLEN from their owner days before they were due to whelp, one has now had puppies, the other is due next week. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD and make sure no one buys these puppies from Jill & John Thompson. The puppies will be sold from Swadlincote, South Derbyshire - they will not be KC registered.

Tia - [Mod - Photo removed - against the ToS]

Skye - [Mod photo removed against the ToS]

Further info:

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.

[Mod - removed as unnecessary.]

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 [Mod removed] 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!!!

sorry but if it were me id be arranging for someone to go in and collect my property (ie dogs) if there is a legal reason why she cant do so herself. Failing that id risk the breaking/entering charge and be going there to get them myself
