Found whippet on Found pages today, no picture but I think it was found in similar area to where you lost yours, the colour is describled as grey/stone but doesnt mention any white on face, worth checking

Hi, Thistle was a grey/blue large whippet, I had a hoax call about him the other Sunday which was rather upsetting. He never really moulted and stayed the same colour whilst I had him. But thank you for thinking of him. x

Hi, was wondering if we had anymore news on Thistle. I saw a whippet walking down the street with a young man in Cirencester yesterday and immedaitely thought of Thistle. The dog had the exact same facial marking as Thistle but was more of a sandy colour than blue. I was riving and couldn't stop :( I was wondering if he malts and in the summer changes to a sandy colour? If this could be him i am happy to meet with owner and show where i saw him and help put some posters up in the town. becky

Hi, Thank you again for your help, we haven't heard anything about Thistle I feel that he has been taken in. He was a stunning looking dog and extremely friendly. I just pray that he is being loved and looked after properly. I miss him very much. xH

2011-05-04 20:47 DogLostReynard

Thistle is in the Countrymans Weekly to day

Not heard from Thistle owner for a while :(

2011-04-27 15:57 DogLostReynard

Hayley I sent you an email, but I would suggest ringing the person back and get a better idea where he was seen & was he with someone or on his own , did they have a very good discription of Thistle etc , seems iffy to me as very vauge?
You may be wasting valuable time looking at Covingham just maybe?

thankyou so much xH

2011-04-13 18:19 Mollychops

Denise is now aware , and will keep an eye open

2011-04-13 17:55 Mollychops

I tried ringing Denise Barrett this morning, and couldnt get any reply. I think a lot of rescues are busy first thing getting the dogs out and probably dont pick up the phones till later on. All local farmers and local keepers need contacting about this dog. I will contact both the VWH and the Beaufort, who will alert everyone too. Thanks Panda and Rebecca, your support is very welcome X.

2011-04-13 16:52 Rebecca

Hi Thistle, I know how distressing it is for you. I lost two jack russells in October and it is still really upsetting. Have you contacted Denise Barrett at Grittenham (about 5 miles from Upper Minety). She runs a sanctury that is not on the web but does take strays in the area. Her contact number is 01666 510726. Any help needed searching let me know. Becky

2011-04-13 16:41 thistle

thanks everyone, for your support please keep in touch i'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he gets handed in as im finding it rather distressing and need him to come home xH

2011-04-13 14:08 Rebecca

Hi, I live very close to upper minety and know most of the farmers etc in that area. Will spread the word and if owners wants any help searching then let me know. Thanks. Becky

2011-04-13 11:15 PANDA

I'll put a few posters up in and around Tetbury and put one into the local vets.Hope he is back soon.

Thistle ran off after a deer possibly last Thursday, from Upper Minety,near Malmesbury, Wilts. Im emailing out advice sheets and a link to his poster. The seven days are nearly up , if he has been taken in , so we need to move fast to contact reescues, vets etc. Dws are aware.

Sorry to see that THISTLE is missing.

• If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
• A photograph of your dog is essential for the website. If you have not already uploaded one, please do so by clicking on Update details. Alternatively you can email it to admin@doglost.co.uk quoting the dog's DogLost ID number: (29183)
