This week highlights the plight of gundogs who are increasingly being stolen for breeding or the black market.
Gundog Theft Awareness week seeks to raise awareness of the number of gun dogs stolen every year. The breeds most commonly stolen are Labradors, Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels and DogLost statistics reveal that in 2015, 356 Labradors, 276 Cocker Spaniels and 168 Springer Spaniels went missing – mainly stolen.
Run by the Pet Theft Awareness team, they will be offering advice to owners on how to keep dogs safe, what to do if they become a victim and buying and selling gundog puppies.
The awareness campaign is being run through social media with DogLost PR Team Bruce Forsyth’s Vets Get Scanning Petition The Dog Union alongside Pet Theft Awareness, all partners in the Stolen and Missing Pets Alliance who continue to campaign for legilative change to protect our pets from theft.
