What type of dogs are being stolen?
Which animal can be used to find thieves?
Humans. Search and rescue dogs, with their highly developed sense of smell, are used to locate humans, such as escaped prisoners, a thief or people lost in remote areas. They are used also to find people who are trapped, such as in avalanches or collapsed buildings. Dogs can also be used to look for dead people.
What do you do if you find a stolen dog?
If not, call the police immediately, and have your case number on hand. Try to follow the person at a distance. If you see the pet in someone else’s yard, contact the police immediately. Do not try to recover the pet yourself—this can be very dangerous, and you don’t want to be arrested for trespassing.
What to do if you find a stray dog with another person?
Call your local radio station and offer them the same story. You might find a DJ that will take up your cause. If you happen to see your pet with someone else, you can approach and ask about the pet in a neutral way if you feel safe. If not, call the police immediately, and have your case number on hand.
What does it mean when a dog has an unknown ancestor?
“Unknown” will be noted on the registration or pedigree for the ancestor in question. This will only occur in cases where the dogs are believed to be purebred, but a registered parent is found to be incorrect.
What happens if you register a dog with an unknown sire?
A single case of an unknown sire can result in the cancellation of hundreds of AKC registrations. The negative reaction, especially from owners who registered their dog with AKC only to later have it canceled, is very damaging to AKC’s image.
