Hummed and harred about this one, don't want to raise false hope. I came across it by accident while searching a few sites. It's the 'blondness' that caught my eye. Be quick though as the site says it updates every 24 hrs, and there doesn't seem to be a reference number to keep in case it disappears - just the name Sammy. Click on the right hand tab to see it (the one without Silverlight). He is at Oxford Animal Sanctuary, listed on this site as the only 'Spaniel' at moment- description:
Sammy came to OAS in 2012 and sadly has been returned as he has shown aggression on a couple of occasions in the home environment. Sammy will need to be the only pet in a child free home. He is currently undergoing behavioural training. Sammy will need an owner who is willing to continue his training with him. He is a very friendly dog who loves to play with toys.

Im always suspicious when pedigree dogs are being sold cheaply! http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/841018-gorgeous-dog-for-sale-wakefield.html - this one's in Wakefield, W Yorks and he's in a hurry to sell. Good luck with your search!

This one is in Many Tears in Llanelli. I know yours is chipped but I just wanted to check that all chip details have been updated should you have moved or changed telephone numbers? If all is exactly the same this is unlikely to be him but here it is anyway - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=472018452902223&set=gm.230914807094618&type=1&theater

We have arrested two men and recovered a dog, tools and a van all believed to have been stolen.

The arrests came after a member of the public called us on Wednesday February 6 to report two men in a van behaving suspiciously in Thornbury and abandoning a dog.

The dog, a cocker spaniel, was found to have been stolen from Thornbury earlier the same day.

The van was later found by police abandoned just off the A38 in Rudgeway. Officers believe the van had been stolen from London and it contained tools stolen from Thornbury earlier the same day. Two men aged 26 and 32 were arrested later the same day in connection with the thefts and remain in police custody today, Thursday February 7.

Thornbury Neighbourhood Sergeant Victoria Lansdown said: "We are very grateful to the member of the public who called us after becoming suspicious of the behaviour of two men in a van. I'd always say that if you are in any doubt give us a shout."

Hi Gail.Brilliant news about Tay,I hope he is back home where he belongs soon!!Let's hope Josh has a happy outcome in 2013.I think I will have to send him on an awareness course when he gets back,so he can watch his back much more effectively in the future,lol.Take Care and Best Wishes,Bob.xxx

Hi Bob Im still looking for you boy josh and always will untill we find him. I have some news that will lift your heavy heart. Weve had a 99.9% sure sighting of Tay with a bloke fitting the description of the bloke I know has him (my neighbour) in philwelli, I had believed Tay could be in Caenarfan which is 20 miles away, no-one knew we felt he could be in wales. We have to be discrete now as Roy has been reading our minds for almost 2 years now. Bob I know we can get Tay back. Its along twisted story but we approached Roy 2 wks after Tay was stolen its the only thing that made complete sense but we had no evidence it took 9 months before people realised they had info we'd be interested in then everything slotted into place we still had no evidence and even worse we didnt know where Tay was being held.Ill keep you posted Bob this will take some time but were sure we can do it.xxxxx and yes Ill let you at this evil pair when its over. xxxx

Hi, there's a dog that looks very similar to Josh looking for a home on the north west cocker and springer rescue site (www.caessr.org.uk). They are calling him JD and he is currently reserved so please take a look ASAP.

2012-08-08 16:21 Unknown

Solrry to see Josh is still missing. Hope we can keep trying to make him "Too hot to handle" I wish the microchip will work it`s magic at long last. Dont these thieves know the heartbreak they cause to the owners? Or is that a daft question? Please keep positive.

Hello fellow dog lovers.I am glad Josh is still firmly in your minds and hearts,after what is approaching a very long 12 months now.I regularly speak to people who tell me stories of dogs being found safe and well,even after FIVE YEARS.Josh was a very streetwise little boy and I know he can adapt to the situation he has been put in by these unhuman lowlifes.Thank you to Gail,Shereen and everyone trying to help Josh get reunited with his rightful loving owners.Thank you,Bob.XXX

2012-04-20 20:45 scootjockey

Dear Bob really glad Josh has been bumped.When I saw Josh`s flashing photo I thought you`d found him I got off the phone , opened a can celebrating prematurely, this time! Gutted!....im pleased Josh is top of the page again hope it brings some news. Effectively were all doing what we can im making people aware of our doggie`s and eventually this will happen. Pet detective on TV stories in paper`s regular sighting of doglost posters increases our chance`s so much.I have 2 cockers now the older one im happiest at the mo is usually at Marks(rural and remote)the little one`s ok with me at mo as she doesnt run out to far yet coz I do panick!I`ve spoke to a few dog walkers today all mentioned ebony`s poster`s also recently missing in my area this makes me realise how much more attentive folk are.Meanwhile im the crazy dog woman observing everything. Travellers are back here again each morning I watch from a safe distance Haha I reconise those that are walked from last time they were here, Just to re-assure you all on doglost are doing the same. As always wishing you the best...Gail x

Hi Gail.Hope you are keeping well and getting closer to finding Tay.Joshua and I actually came home in the van from the groomers (Its about six miles away from us)and any lowlife could have climbed out of their sewer and followed us home and planned their dirty deed.I am trying to invent a punishment bad enough for these dog thieves,but find they are not severe enough to thank them properly for the pain they have caused to all the unfortunate owners in this country.Best Wishes,Bob.

2012-04-01 04:38 scootjockey

hiya Bob on hindsight you suspect you and Josh being followed home, have you anyone you now reconise also any chance you could have been caught on cameras on the premises past on that walk home. Best wishes to yourself and Josh love gail xxx

2012-03-14 09:25 THIS IS FOR JOSH !!

Hi Folks.Did you see on the news the spaniel that went missing on a walk FIVE years ago and the people who had been looking after it came forward to re-unite dog and owner after seeing the publicity.We just need to try to stay positive and good things can happen.Perhaps we can get some coverage on national broadcasting and reduce the back log of missing/stolen hounds and heartache.Best Wishes,Bob.

2012-01-05 16:35 THIS IS FOR JOSH !!

Thanks to Mal and Rottie for your support.As for getting another dog to ease the pain of Josh's theft,there is no remedy for that until he is back home where he belongs.I will never give up the search for my lad and like the Stephen Lawrence case,justice will be done.Happy New Year to all the decent people left in the world.Many Thanks,Bob.

2012-01-05 13:39 Mal

just wishing you luck in 2012 Bob in your search for Josh and read on Tays page that you may be getting another dog so hope that helps with the pain. Thinking about Josh and all the other lost dogs and wishing them home safe x. Mal

Many Thanks to all for remembering about Josh when Cockers are found.He is microchipped and obviously registered as stolen.He is very much intact regards to breeding.I was woken last night by the sudden realisation that I may have been followed home from the groomers that day and they made their move when we were at work.BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THESE SWINES!! Many Thanks,Bob.

COPIED FROM A POST ON 32206
Apologies for posting here as unlikely to be connected to this case but may be relevant to other lost spaniels. Some travellers were evicted from a site just outside Brighton a few months ago & were camped out in parks all over the city. They were selling puppies mainly jack russells but someone has told me they were also selling pedigree spaniels.x

Hi really sorry josh is still missing and pray he being cared for by the filth who stole him.Our Tays circumstances are similar . We too think a neighbours mates stole Tay.Im made up the police and courts are aware how great a problem dog theft is and how profitable it is when used to breed by these low lifes.We bought a gorgeous working cocker recently whom we love dearly but fret the same could happen again because the neighbour and his mates are still there.Just like you i ll be here when they ...k-up. And it ll be a case of poetic justice done.. My thoughts are will all those poor dogs lost/stolen and the owners. best wishes gail xxx

Thankyou.I think the Police realise that our pets are a major integral part of the family,to the same level as children.Also,it is becoming the next major crimewave that they and the courts need to address before it is out of control!Many Thanks,Bob.

Bob, I am so pleased you have the support of the police in the search for Josh. This is excellent news and I have everything crossed for you and Josh. x

Great news the Police are stepping up there search and adding pressure on these low lifes. Hope Josh is found soon. x

2011-06-24 18:31 THIS IS FOR JOSH !!

Many Thanks for everyone's support with finding Josh.Anyone who steals our pets,whatever you own,are the lowest form of life and we need a law passed to make this activity less attractive to them! Keep up the good work and let's hope the good defeat the bad.

Keep postering in the area last seen, poster like mad, also get local papers to do a piece, make him too hot to handle,if someone has taken him in locally

e mail from owner...
Hi there,I received a phone call today from a local lady at 07:54 am,who says she has definitely seen Josh on Sunday 12th trying to get in through her gate,but pushed him back out as she had her own dog to consider.On hindsight she wishes she had grabbed him and kept him safe.The location was close to Hilltop Primary School,Wyaston Road,Ashbourne,Derbyshire.I have left contact details and a description with the school. Many Thanks to all and keep up the excellent work!!

2011-06-16 10:01 CarolineMurphy

Make sure you poster every vet and every pet shop in a large radius around you! Do you have the ears clipped at the groomers or left natural? The reason I ask is that in this heat / weather the ears smell on a spaniel and unless you know what your doing, you may seek advise - and see that we're on to them! If left natural the smell can get quite bad as this can lead to infection. Lng shot but worth a try!

Sorry to see that JOSH STOLEN 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: (30383)
• Obtain a missing poster by clicking on View poster above. Posters are very important so start postering now!
• You will need to be logged in to upload photos, edit your dog's details, or add comments. You can add comments by clicking on Click here to add a comment.
• Contact dog wardens, vets and local rescue centres, and in Scotland, the Police. Give a detailed description with any distinguishing marks/scars or send them a copy of your DogLost poster. You can find vets in your area here.
