Husky Pups Stolen Ispwich

There have been a number of these type of thefts in the news recently, and more often than not the ones going for the public sympathy vote seem to be from homes breeding purely for $$$, not from responsible breeders. I wonder what the link is?

Hmm, are you suggesting that it some type of fraud? That the 'breeders' claim the dogs were stolen (but really taken by their own people) and then profit again when the pups are 'located'?

Interesting (and sick) concept.

Maybe. With the last three cases I wondered if there was more to the story. But it sounds like litters are occasionally stolen from honest, responsible, registered breeders, too, so maybe it's more common that I realised, and only the shonky operators go to the media.

I notice also that this breeder has not gone back to the media to let the public know that two of their beloved pups have been found and that they have received $1200 for them

That's terrible! That seems to me that they were only focused on the money and not the welfare of the pups!
