What a sad ending ,looking through the entries you did all you could to find Fred x

Think that might be the saddest thing I have ever read on here

2016-07-14 11:02 Fred's Devastated Owner

Never was found. Too late for him and us now. Still think of you Fred xxx 😢

2012-12-23 21:12 cushti

Just to let you know I think of Fred quite often, especially at this time of year - blees him xx

2012-11-20 21:44 Scruffpot

How old would Fred be now? I ask because I was thinking about him when I was reading about Arthur on the oldies website. He has been with them since Sept 2008 after his owners divorced. They think he is about 11.

The Cotswold Show is at Cirencester Park (Glos) on the 7th and 8th of July and there are many BACS gundog events on both days so lots of Springers will be there, so could be well worth a visit.

Hello everyone and thanks for your messages. Have been on holiday then the day after I get back, I have the excitment of finding Rosie and reuniting her with her owners in the hope that maybe some day someone will do it for me. I did phone about the dog that was found in Fritton Woods about four weeks ago and it wasnt Fred. The dog warden told me he was entire and about 3-4 years of age. Still hoping Lee x

Hi, I think it is realy sad that fred has been missing all this time, but please never give up hope. As has previously been said, it only takes that one phone call and Fred could so easily be back home with you again. Have faith, one day you will be in the right place at the right time, or get that genuine phone call that will reunite you with Fred. I know its hard, but you have to keep going for Freds sake. I have a link to a site similar to this one, if you would like to PM or e-mail me, I will send you the link.

Have posted a few messages on here but they seem to vanish!! Dont know why??? I posted one last week on the 10th to say that it was a year since Fred went missing and hoping he was being well looked after wherever he was and that we were still thinking about him every day. Hope this message stays this time. Lee xx

Still thinking of Fred. Did you see what Dachy Dave wrote, on Henry, reunited todays page ? "Just spoken to this owner. Henry was found safe & well about a week after he went missing but their computer is not working to have advise apparently. I rang because an 8 year old has been found with my local vet in Newport in Shropshire of similar description last Saturday."

I am so so pleased for you Andrea and Roma. I would love to hear the whole story how she came back. Its great news. My neighbour saw a poster about a found Springer and I rang it today and left a message but I have a feeling that it might be the one on the found pages that was found in Basildon, Essex on 21st March in which case, it may be too young to be Fred but you never know. Getting close to the first anniversary and am dreading it!! Still thinking about Fred every day xx

Hi Lee Am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Some people do keep them just because they like them even though they do know they belong to someone else. We changed the poster so many times, adding new photo, dif. wording and change of colour. Bought a staple gun and laminated. Also the local paper did run Lottie for 3 weeks on the trot. The paper covered five counties. I believe this new blitz and with countrymans weekly helped us.I know you have done this but please do it again and again in another few weeks. Thinking of you x

Thanks Tori - unfortunately, its not Fred. Still looking all the time and chasing leads. Managed to see some photos of the five Springers found in Luton and they are gorgeous and with a lovely rescue now so they are safe. They are all about 14 months old. Daisy Be - I made enquiries about this Springer found in September but no one got back to me but I since discovered that it wasnt Fred. Thank you all for your time. It will be a quiet christmas without Fred :( xx

FOUND . English Springer Spaniel A liver and white Springer Spaniel was found on the A415 road at Kingston Bagpuize on Sunday 17th September. He is an entire male and not docked. We think he is about 2 years old, but he could be older. He seems fit and well and is wearing a black leather collar. He has liver and white markings to his face but his body is predominantly white. He has a noticable dip to his back and has obviously been trained as he is sociable and sits when asked. We believe that he may have been stolen from someone at some point as he was seen to be dumped onto the side of the road by people in a blue people carrier. The police have been contacted and we will contact the local dog warden tomorrow to check if he has been micro-chipped. LOSTYOURPET.NET HAS THIS DOG. XX

Hello I have been in touch with Luton Police who gave me the number of the kennels who are holding the dogs. I contacted them today and they said they would call me back but still waiting This has happened before when I have chased a lead, no one has called me back!!!! I will call them again tomorrow if they dont!! The woman on the phone didnt seem to know what she was talking about and wasnt very helpful. She said she seemed to think they were all black and white but I assured her that they were L/W as the police had told me that and it was up on Dogslost. So I am none the wiser!! But someone said that they are probably younger than Fred and all working dogs. She asked me to write down a description of Fred and anything that would identify him but still waiting for a call Will ring back anyway. Lee xxx Fred 10.04.06 but still looking for him

Hello and thank you for all your kind comments. Had a terrible shock yesterday. I was trailing through the internet looking on all the rescue sites etc. and I came across a photo of Fred and underneath it said that he had been rehomed with a choc lab and a dalmation! My heart was in my mouth! I rang immediately and the woman was horrified to see that the wrong picture had been uploaded! They were really talking about a greyhound called Fred!! It was a big shock but the woman was really apologetic and changed it straightaway and has now put a big piece on him being stolen on her website! I have to admit I shed a tear after I put the phone down! I am still thinking about you Fred every day. Bless you xxx

Hi Lesley. No one has got back to me. I left a message yesterday but the message from sidey says that this dog is entire. Fred had been neuteured so alas its not him. Also the colouring description isnt the same as Fred. How awful for that poor doggy being dumped? I think about Fred every day and night and havent been able to get to sleep lately with thinking how it will be when he does come back and wondering what he must be thinking like "how could you do this to me mum" :( now I am waffling and getting over emotional............. sorry...... Thanks everyone for your help. Lee xx

If you haven't done it already, then it might be worth contacting all the Springer rescues and breed clubs, as they can be very useful when searching for a missing dog. Hurry home soon Fredxxxx

Hi Andrea. Im not too bad. Just having wound problems all the time. Did anyone see Jayne on TV last night?? Wasnt she fabulous? We are lucky to have her. I am still searching for Fred. A kind person PMd me about a found Springer in Cambridgeshire and when I made enquiries, it was a bitch so not Fred, obviously, but still following up leads. Thanks. Lee xxx

To Shalzak, great that you can help to find Fred, it would be wonderful if he could come home, just as Saracen did after being missing for eight months. 2/3 hours exercise for a five months old is a bit much, young bones are still soft and growing. About one hour is enough (although youngsters love to play, my young Dobie is always ready for a walk!) . Hurry home soon Fredxxxxx

Good idea Sharon have to keep Fred in everybodys minds,wonderful that you exercise your puppy but at 5months of age you should still be limiting his exercise i think 2/3hours a day is too much (not meant to sound overpowering)but i have bred a few litters,and have seen first hand the damage that can be caused to their bones. Lee out again soon poster of Fred firmly attached to my back pack will have to get it waterproofed by the look of the weather. How are you keeping?

I have just received email regarding Fred - I live on the other side of Wickford nearer to the A127 but will be posting posters on my daily dog walks - I've got a 5mth GSD and we walk her for approx 2-3 hours per day so we should pretty much cover a big area ! Hubby works for BT and I will get him to post up in the Exchanges in Wickford, Bas, Hanningfield, Stock, etc etc - if everybody keeps Fred in the limelight, somebody WILL come forward with information - don't give up hope - my thoughts are with you x Sharon x P.S. If everybody who received the original email forwarded it to ALL in their address book and asked for it to be forwarded in the subject heading - it would go on and on and you would be AMAZED at how many people/areas this would cover.

Hello Jackie and all. Back at home and feeling pretty low and having problems with wounds but back online now. What a shame about the groomer??! Its all very odd. When I read about Molly, the Springer Spaniel found with 11 puppies, I really cried! I was in touch with the owner and I was really pleased she was found but its awful about the breeding! Scum bags! But at least she is with her mummy again now. Recovery is a slow process and I am backwards and forwards to the hospital because of ongoing problems. Lee x

To be honest I think the posters were probably taken down as they have been on both notice boards for a long time & there are other posters in its place now, I think it more likely that staff have replaced them but you never know!

I dont know how I have stopped myself from going nuts this week but its all thanks to Dogs Lost and Jackie and of course, all your wonderful messages of support. Thanks to Dogs Lost for putting Fred at the top again. If he's in Wickford, we will all flush him out! Am really missing him now. It has been three months too long. Poor ole Fred - Ted (the cat) is missing you and so is your bed, your toys and even the dog over the back that you have the odd barney with through the fence (another Springer!) I miss your head on my lap each evening and yes Fred, even your really loud snoring thats so loud, I cant hear the TV!!! Lee xx

Hope this is Fred & he's home soon. Stay strong & don't let the hoaxers put you off, tell them thanks for ringing & put phone on table. Leave them hanging on-some body genine would use a bit of noddle to contact you. The doglost helpers are fantastic. Good luck

Still keeping my fingers crossed Fred will be found and returned to you ASAP. What someone else would want with somebodies life long pet, gets the better of me . As I am sure he is set in his ways and unlikely to train otherwise. Still I have to face the fact there are a lot of scum out there who dont seem to give a damn if it was not originally their pet. Good Luck in all you are doing to get him back , my thoughts are with you. xx

Have been investigating a possible sighting of Fred. Had a call from a family in Wickford, Essex in the week saying that were sure they saw Fred in Wickford Memorial Park running around loose and a woman came and took him back when they caught him. Today, Jackie and I have been over to the park and postered everywhere and spoken to people who's houses back onto the park because the family said that the woman had told them the dog had got out of the garden. Keeping fingers crossed that it may be him. We were calling him as we were walking behind the houses but no sign. I would know his bark anywhere. Lee x

Hi Fred's Devastated Owner, hope you are well. What I meant with my comments about answer machines is that while they will not stop the persistant idiots phoneing, they do help in that you can filter them out at least to a degree. We regularly get pestered be people who seem to have more money and time then intelligence, some do it about 20, 30, 40 times a day. But like I said earlier, there are no gauranties with answer phones, no matter what you do, contact your phone service provider, use mps, whatever you do you will not rid yourself of these idiots completely, but you can cut down the incidents when they actually get through. Anyway, I hope Fred comes home soon safe and well.

To Lotties Mum! Nice one! Hope he suffers! Paul - answerphones dont do the trick in persistent hoaxers, they never give up and when it clicks in, they just hang up and ring again and again. Thanks for your posts - havent been on a lot this week as its been appointments, appointments! I still think about Fred all the time and when I read about the found Springer of yesterday, it describes him perfectly apart from the fact that this dog is entire! Fred's coat would be matted by now if left because his fur was very rough. Lee x

I agree, call bar prob not best- I got a caller ID phone set up with BT to log all cals and show who was ringing, also set up their free answerphone service. Hated doing it as it tied up the phone but with one particuarly bothersome hoaxer I simply put the phone on the table without cutting off, tying up his phone & bill-particuarly late night. Dont talk to him at all anymore-or listen! Talk to BT,or the police or? mayb there's a way of barring only him. Mayb divert all calls to a friend or one of these kind helpers numbers as most useful info will prob come from someone who doesnt want to leave name or number, your mobile too while in hosp. I hope your health soon improves and that hospital goes as smoothly & painlessly as possible.Time for your fortune to change.Thanks for the PM!xx

Hi Lee, hoaxers are the lowest of the low, perhaps as a temporary measure, any new posters being circulated, could have just Doglost Number on them, until you feel you can cope again. Just to give you a bit of a break. If you want to use a number that can be contacted 24hrs you could use my number willingly, or perhaps a friends number. The offer is there if you would like to use it, best of luck

Lee i know hoaxers are the worst thing in the world - but bear in mind no thief is going to ring you without withholding their number... Fred needs you to be contactable 24 hrs a day.... it is soul destroying hearing these drunken idiots try and wind you up but don't let them force you to potentially missing the one call you need. We're all around if you want to have a chat, any time. Stay strong - don't let the gits get you down - and remember if you're getting hoax calls then the posters are working - people are reading them and remembering. xxx

What would this world be like without hoaxers? Obviously somwone has more money than brains. One thing you could try to help prevent this is to contact your phone service provider and get them to set your connection so that you cannot receive calls from those who withhold their numbers, forcing callers to not withhold their number, we did that with our bt line. If you do that though, you may still get timewasters calling you, but you can fillter those out with an answer machine.

Keep checking Fred's page hoping he's turned blue. Dont give up-the publicity so far seems to be having a knock-on effect-using the angle of Fred being on TV and so on may help generate further publicity-try for stories in local and national newspapers as well as doggy mags! The chances that the people who have seen him/know where he is will see it and call you will multiply. Have PM'd you but forgot to add my Border Collie(cross) went missing 10/10/05 also Essex, if you want more details.Be strong-dont let the hoaxers make you switch off your phone too often-Fred needs it!TC.xx

Well folks, at quarter to four this morning, my phone at home started ringing and it was a young lad on there saying he had Fred. Of course, it was a hoax and I hung up. He kept ringing and ringing and ringing!! In the end, we pulled the plugs on the phone. I really could do without it at the moment with all my health issues. What a nightmare eh???! Some people are sickos! My husband gave him a right mouthful and all he said was that he was trying to do us a favour! The number was withheld (of course)!! In work now, absolutely knackered!!

I phoned about the Springer that was found yesterday or the day before. I know that it said he was approx. four years of age but you never know. I left a message but no one has got back to me. I dont think its Fred - it said that he was more liver than white but Fred has the same really and freckles. His coat would be really grown out and rough by now unless whoever has him gets him clipped. Lee x

Hi fred's owner, have you tried the dog Warden at Brentwood Council? A long shot I know but worth a try. Also, the local papers and maybe Essex radio might put a poster on their web sites. Thanks for mentioning that horse show at Pitsea Jackie, you night see me down there too on Sunday, as I plan to give them a poster about Trigger the corgi jack russell cross, well you never know do you! Maybe they would put posters on their web site too if we ask them.

You can have it done at any age, nothing to stop someone else getting him chipped but if he already had a chip & went missing then scanned it would prob show up both chips, also the people who chip the pets usual go over the dog after chipping to see if it works ok so if there was already a chip there that would show up

Would I be able to do that and if I could, then what's to stop someone else doing the same?? Sorry to be doom and gloom but someone could have chipped Fred easily by now.

Sorry you're not too well, hardly suprising with all the stress of recent weeks. While removing my Milly posters today I heard everybodys 'dog stories' ! met some lovely dog friendly people (the best sort) One lady told me about her lurcher which was stolen, she lives in Headley, Surrey. There was no dog lost then, or at least she didn't know about it. She had no way of letting people know about the dog but she did get her picture in a country pursuits type magazine. After nearly five months she said she accepted she wouldn't see her again. Then she got a phone call from a man in Buckinghamshire who had happened to see an old copy of the magazine and said "I think I've bought your dog, I've had her several months and we all adore her but my conscience had to call you, cos I'm sure she is your dog...and she was..re-united. So, its brilliant that posters are still going up anywhere and everywhere and with all those new dog lost eyes on the case. Inspired by that story and the success of the 'Milly case' I am going to put some posters up in the dog walking areas round here,,,get well soon...Jan xxx( P.C. Nephew still got poster too)

Hi Lee,sorry your not feeling too good hope your well soon. My friend was very good at the weekend at the south of england show,and is still driving round with Freds posters in her car and has even been giving them out at her training classes. I do believe someone has him but they think they are doing a good turn looking after him,and it hasnt entered their minds that he has a loving owner,he will turn up things have a strange way of working out.Must keep the posters up you will get there eventually. Always thinking of you all, Lesley x

I was inspired to register by a little dog called Spencer, who went missing in my area, and I've been adicted since. I feel I owe a lot to doglost,for the stories have just made me so aware of all the potential situations. So hopefully the plight of Fred will have got other people hooked and are spreading the word and hopefully will lead to him coming home.

Just wanted to let you know I check on Fred every day, he is the one that got me to register on this site in the first place, Fred and your devotion to him, I recognized someone as...I was going to as dopey as me but whats dopey about loving your dog who gives you so much more love in return...this message wasn't meant to upset you so I'll try and re-phrase that, as he is almost certainly now with someone who loves him to bits, look at the saga of Roxs...it's War and Peace ! With not much peace at the moment ! So hoping you get some news from the dog show thats coming up. every time I see a new post on your site my heart leaps and so hopes for good news..take care...Jan xxxxx

Don't give up Lee. Fred is out there somewhere and the more posters and publicity the more the number of people who know about Fred. I talk about him nearly every day at work. I can't wait to see him in the blue and am sure he will be soon. He looks so beautiful. Spread the word folks...lets all keep looking wherever we are

Hi Helen. Yes I do remember him. Someone called me yesterday and said they had seen him on a website and thought he was Fred! He must look a bit like Fred. I tried to find the website but couldnt just so I could see. He sounded lovely. I hope his new home is nice when he just wasnt wanted anymore. I would have loved to have had him but its too soon and like admitting that I am giving up on Fred and being disloyal to him. I cant think about another dog at the moment. The cocker spaniel Louie was lovely xx

I know how annoying it can be I also keep my eyes on dogs that are left outside shops until it happens to you i am afraid it does not sink in its the old story "it will never happen to me" but we all know it does and if only,IF ONLY people realise we are not being busybodies but trying to help them not to suffer and stop one more dog appearing on the red list some of our work would be done. dont get upset lee you did a good thing and if she is silly not to see you were talking sense she might live to regret not heeding your advise i really hope she doesn't .

Times change so quickly, Murphy one of my springers is two at the end of the month & I remember visiting my parents in Bath when he was around 6mths old, we had to collect something from the town centre & parked the car in the multi storey car park leaving Murphy in the the car for 1/2 an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did not give it a second thought then! but now I'm horrified that I did that! I would never leave any of my dogs unattended in the car & thats what has changed in a few months, I think dog theft has become the "In" crime recently, I remember the other week we went into Basildon & there was a dog left outside wilkinsons & I watched the man go in the shop, he was gone for ages & what was I doing? stood there opposite the shop making sure he never went off with anyone else! I didn't even know the man but I just could not go off & just forget about it!

Thank you Jackie and Helen. Have to confess, Ive just been to my local shop and I am annoyed. Someone who lives near me has a beautiful white staff who is so obedient and good natured. She leaves him outside the shop nearly every day! I said to her to be careful that dogs go missing every day outside shops and from cars and that he was such a lovely dog, someone would take him. She seemed to get the hump with me! I am mad that people are so careless and dont want to listen to good advice. I would hate for her to lose him - its obvious she adores him. She almost avoided me on the way back from the shop! oh well.

With all the recent coverage there are many, many more people aware of this wonderful site, not just those that have registered but lots more who are monitoring every day and on the look out for dogs that are missing, new dogs appearing near their homes and in the various places they walk their dogs. They are dog lovers like us, they talk to other doggie people and even more people become addicted to this site, and keep on looking, checking, not just on those gone that day or the day before. What I am attempting to say is ...there are many more eyes out there looking for Fred than ever before. My thoughts are with you and all the other poor owners still waiting.. I would have fallen apart long ago. I spent yesterday morning wandering over Epsom Downs with my dogs (on leads) discreetly peering into the large travellers site up there. Amazing, unlike previous years, I didn't see one dog ! Just one pony and loads of children zooming round on those motorised bikes, which would have flattened any dog that was outside anyway. It occurs to me that my messages tend to be miles longer than anyone elses, sorry about that...I don't do concise ! Obviously. Jan xxxxxx

I had a call from a lady saying she had seen a Springer at Acres way Kennels in Benfleet so I rang them and its not Fred - his name is Dougie and he is four and his owners dont want him anymore!! She offered him to me!!! How sad is that?? :( She knew all about Fred, has a poster up and looks out for him all the time.

Jayne - you have been quoted in the Echo as well. Yesterday was nerve wracking but well worth it and everyone at the show was really friendly. Just a shame about only putting the number on screen and not the website address and getting all those awful hoax calls. I was worried I was going to get hoax calls in the night! The show let us keep the big photos of our dogs which was nice. The article in the paper today is great. I am at the end of my tether now. just waiting by the phone x

After months of addiction to this site I have at last registered, inspired in large part by your desperate search for Fred. By some absolute miracle I have managed to get my extremely temperamental printer to print off a poster of Fred, which I have given to my nephew who is in the Surrey police. He has instructions to memorise that lovely face and show it to as many police pals as poss.I realise we are some way from you (in Epsom) but recent 'finds' show the distances that need to be covered, particularly as for the next few weeks leading up to the Derby he will be having even more than usual 'interaction' with the travelling community who are arriving in Epsom already.Hopefully the picture of Fred in his patrol car will remind him to be alert for any suspected snatched dogs. I really, really hope you have some good news very, very soon. Jan

At least you know... concentrate again on the local area... it's been long enough for whoever has him to have taken him to a vet to see what his lumps and bumps are... big effort on contacting them i reckon!

Sorry you don't have any news of Fred. I'm sure you already know that it's the Southend Airshow next Bank Holiday weekend - Sunday and Monday. The seafront is usually packed and I'm sure that it's not just locals - people come from further afield. There's bound to be food vans or stalls where people would be willing to display Fred's poster.

Approaches to the media should be very concise, but stressing the emotive issues. If the researcher/journalist have not picked up on it after a few lines they are not going to read the rest.

Freds Owner, my thoughts are with you, breaks my heart to hear such stories, how can these monsters take a family member and think nothing of it, makes me so angry. A tv company really needs to take the lead in getting a permanent programme or just a slot on teatime tv, the publicity would do wonders as Paul O Grady has proven. Dont ever give up, Fred is still out there and I pray he gets back home with you soon. x

The article with my son and Fred is in the local freebie paper today and someone has called already, just really offering friendly advice but when you hear their voice and they mention "are you the person with the lost dog" your heart goes for a minute and you think "yes!" but then it sinks to a thump and they are really just trying to be helpful I suppose xx

Hi Lee have you tried emailing The Paul O Grady show to get Fred shown as a missing dog? He has done a few slots, one last week and it resulted in Roxi the Staffy puppy getting home. The email address is on his website and it also has pictures of missing dogs, so you could ask if they could do that as well. Worth an try? Shellyxxxxx

Fred will surely be home with you soon... I am going away for a week, but when I'm back I'll stick a poster up at Seapets in Colchester where lots of doggy people go. It's the nearest I get to your area, but I feel I must try and do something. Keep your chin up for Fred. xxx

Hi Lee Well we have covered nearly the whole of Essex I am talking to the dog warden tomorrow would you like me to find out about accidents all dogs have to be registered if involved in a fatal accident so the police should be able to check there records and tie up dogs involved in lost and traffic accidents so don't worry to much about that area (but obviously things went wrong in that area for billy) but if you want i will check it out for you we are going to get him back please be strong think about my boy my uncle still thinks its a dream but its not we got him and we are really going to pull out the stops now I promise

Dear Sue. Thanks so much for your message. It brought tears to my eyes. I really think I expected something from the article on Thursday in the paper and now that it hasnt happened, I have been feeling very down since. Thanks so much for postering everywhere you said for me. I really appreciate it. Like I said in a post on Billy's page, I really hope that Fred is with someone as honest and caring like you. To Springerlover - I have thought of doing that in the past but havent had the guts!! Suppose I should really get it over with now..... :(

I will drive to Ongar and put posters up their then in Epping, Abridge, Harlow. I will get my husband to post them around on his bus routes Wanstead, Woodford, Edmonton. When I go to my local vets tomorrow I will also give them both a poster to display and this website address to help as many people as I can.

Don't give up, get them posters out there!

Have seen the article and its ok. They put and I quote "She "even" put Fred on Dogs Lost which makes it sound like I did as a last resort but it wasnt like that. I dont know what I would have done without all you guys on Dogs Lost. You have kept me going. The photo of my son is good. I so hope it brings some news. x

Finally managed to speak to a friend this morning as she's been on holiday for a couple of weeks but she has a close friend that lives on the notorius Oak lane travellers site (they're not all bad people) so is privy to some inside knowledge she has spoken to her just now & she hasn't seen anything that resembles a springer up there, in fact 99% of the dogs there are JR or JR crosses so a springer would stick out like a sore thumb, she has promised to keep an eye out & an ear to the ground for any info & will pass anything on, Helen

Thanks for your help. In total, we had five hoax calls on Saturday. People keep telling me to give up, accept that he has gone, one person even suggest I post him on Rainbow Bridge (no one on this forum I hasten to add!)

Make sure you get a car plastered in posters parked up at the car boot sales and markets this weekend. Not only do you have lots of people visiting, but there are also lots of dodgy stall holders. Avoid trying to leaflet (or put flyers on cars) as most organisers will evict you pronto.

Dee I was having the same thought. Fred's owner, in a twisted sort of way these calls may be better than no calls. It might means that you are getting close. The staff reunited today was taken on the 7th, owners message says ' I know its easier said than done but don't give up hope, the posters do work. Man who bought the dog saw poster and phoned them. Still thinking of you and Fred, I really hope he is home very very soon.xxx

Fred's owner - what did they say this time? PM if you aren't comfy putting it on here. Keep it up - remember what i said last time - if you're getting hoaxes then it means posters are being read in dodgy areas.. dodgy areas mean dodgy people and one of them will be dodgy enough to tip off their "mates". Keep postering, it's working - and does work - see George who came back today :o)

Just a thought but the Hanningfield show is on Sunday/Monday its held just outside East Hanningfield village & they have lots of dog events going on inc gundog comps so there should be an awful lot of doggy people there so I think its def worth a trip there on Sunday am & perhaps put a poster up near the entrance maybe?

A lady who lives near us works on Pitsea market and took two posters to put in the office there yesterday. It depresses me but I have to keep going. Thanks to you all once more xx

I am going to phone the echo and local papers to complain and tell them i am not going to take there papers anymore. anyone else in this area might like to do the same it might make them change there minds. they owe it to the local people to inform them that there are dogs being stolen and to be aware!

Fred's owner I've been thinking and just wanted to say that although I know its not easy, try not to concentrate on the days Fred is missing, I would have thought that wherever Fred is now, he is there to stay. Try to focus on getting the message out to the people who are around him now so that they can recognise him as your dog. Three springers who have recently gone to blue. One took 27 day, another 19 days, and the other less than a week. Time is important to you because you miss him so much but getting the message out and keeping it out is important to the people around Fred. I hope this makes sense and makes you feel more positive. Take carexxx p.s. Give that cat of yours a stoke from me.

Just wanted to say how sorry I am that there is no news on Fred yet. I have looked on this thread everyday hoping to see him in blue. I don't live near you to help so this is for moral support really. I'm a proud owner of a springer, they are fantastic dogs and Fred is so handsome. I lost my baby girl once but she is home safe and sound now, it was because someone saw a poster. It is a case of getting people who know about Fred's whereabouts to see your message. You really are doing so well at this difficult time and so are all your helpers. I will keep sending out positive thoughts for you and Fred, I really hope you get some good news soon.xxx

Dee - Fred was in the Echo on Good Friday in a small ad in the Classifieds with a photo and he was in the Basildon Recorder (freebie paper) this week, also he was in Scoop and a paper in Brentwood and Billericay. There was a huge story on Ted the same day that Fred was in the Echo with a photo of his young owner. The hoax call said that he saw Fred in the Basildon Recorder. Murphysmum - you can give out my numbers. Thanks so much for all your help guys you are lifesavers. I would have really given up if it wasnt for you all at Dogs Lost UK xxx

Ok... you're doing brilliantly... now how about media coverage? What are your local papers and have you contacted them (remember to mention that Ted is missing too - more than one dog stolen in the same area is a story) - if you haven't, lets see what we can do.

Thank you for all your continued help. I am overwhelmed. Have postered more today and my mum's neighbour has a poster in his car, as do I and my dad. My postman knocked today and said that he put a poster up in the sorting office and has also informed four other postmen to keep a look out. Also, he has put one up in his social club. Thanks so much to Helen and Jackie (sorry spelt your name wrong before!) for postering for me too xxx

The standard rule of thumb, Fred's owner is that dogs generally don't travel more than 10 miles out the area - but that is a very standard rule. If they have, they usually haven't gone more than 30 miles.... selling a dog on is a quickly done deal, usually close to the place the dog was taken (and usually a pub or park) - and the thief is likely to be local or have very local connections so for them to take a dog far away would be illogical - they have hunting grounds where they know they can steal from easily - it isn't worth taking a dog 200 miles away when it costs you ?50 in petrol to drive there in a 4x4 knowing you'd only get ?50/?100 for the dog in a sale... does that make sense?? So glad your son is feeling a bit better today. Lots of people out walking dogs in the sunshine today - get those posters out to them!

Fred is probably closer then you think.But best to cover all areas just in case.Just poster poster poster to make him to hot to handle. Have you tried local taxi firms,bus drivers,milkmen and haulier companies.Take aways,pet stores.Also try the shooting communities and all local farms. Have you tried all local breeders.Try the website champ dogs and springer spaniels it will give you a list of local breeders.x

Fred's owner... would it help your son to come on here and post? Obviously with your supervision, but we welcome the involvement of children in helping find lost dogs - and it may just give him the encouragement and hope that he isn't alone in this? He might even have ideas we can discuss on how to find Fred and perhaps we can allay any of his fears? It might just help him if he feels like he can "do" something other than worry? Have a think about it xxx

Dear All Thanks for your messages. I have emailed Gemini with details of Fred and I will call Acres Way tomorrow - lets just hope Im not too late! I dont think the missing dog can be Fred because its described as having its face nearly all liver whereas Fred has a lot of white on his face and he is freckly but I will call tomorrow. I feel so drained today its awful and my son is back to square one....... :(

It was withheld unfortunately! He gave me a landline number and it was unobtainable. He sounded a bit divvy - should have known better really. Said he found Fred walking around Pitsea yesterday. It wasnt a kid either, it was an adult. I feel sick now. :(

SOME PEOPLE ARE UNREAL!! Just had a call on my mobile from a man saying he had Fred and he lived in the Pitsea area. He gave me an address and phone number and as I am at work, I asked my dad and son to go round and see. I said to the bloke I would call him back to confirm. When I dialled the number he gave me, it was unobtainable. When my dad got there, the man who was there didnt know what he was talking about!!! Obviously a crank call! I cant believe people would do that - what do they gain out of it??!! God I am in a right state now.

Fred's owner: go back to the lamppost with the other missing dogs details on and call the owners - if the dogs are still missing you can all help each other - if they are back - they may well have leads that you can follow up. That many dogs going missing in one area isn't a coincidence...

Hello - Not been on since yesterday. Have just come back from three hours of postering all around Basildon and even the dodgy places if you know what I mean! Also, I saw my postman this morning and he is putting a poster in the sorting office and also he runs a social club on the other side of town and said he would put one up in there. Had my eyes peeled the whole time. On one lampost, there were three other signs with missing dogs on! Its heartbreaking. I wonder if they have been found. Sorry, I didnt read message about postering for Ted's owners I could have done. I was in a rush to get out this morning. xx

Can I also say thanks here to Jackie - Billy the yorkie's owner, stolen 4 months ago from Edmonton - she called Fred's and Ted's owners to recommend doglost - and Freds owner as she is local she is more than happy to be moral support, as we all are here.... together we're a stronger team and with help from everyone in the area and getting more and more posters up, we can find the person who saw or knows where Fred went to.

Fred's owner... as we discussed yesterday, i'd hazard a guess that he's been sold on quickly. Thieves don't bother driving dogs for miles - usually - i won't say it doesn't happen but its definitely rare. Ignore negative comments - i won't pass my judgement on what the others have told you on other forums - save to say that I think you'll find the people who know about stolen dogs on this site! Please please don't worry. Concentrate on the pubs and sites like we spoke about yesterday, get posters up - hundreds and hundreds of them. The key is to get Fred too hot to handle and then to find the person who has seen him or who knows who had him. The Husky that was found in Hastings today (one of the incredibly rare ones - and it wasn't the thief who drove him there) - was found because of a local tip off.... giving pretty much exact details. It is possible... just keep on going. xxx

Dear Dee - I have rang Novem twice. They said to me that if he went missing a week ago, then he is more than likely in someone's house. THe person on the other forum said he could have been picked up, driven miles away, found to be unsuitable and then dumped or put in a kennels miles away!! Cheerful eh?? Someone also said (on the same forum) that someone visiting the area for Easter could have taken him and he is miles away by now! Just what I need to hear! Like my neighbour said, "ring the dog warden but you have to be quick cos they sell them"!!!!!!!!! Arrrggghhh!! Dear Cushti - thanks for looking in those places - I know them well.x

Fred's owner - as far as we are aware the only Local Authority that uses kennels that far away is part of Beds. Essex, unless we are mistaken, uses local kennels. Your dog warden should be able to supply details of the holding kennels for stray dogs. DO NOT LOSE HEART... we're here with you.

Not sure about the "travellers" thing, but, I suppose you hear so many stories about them snatching dogs etc, I hope to goodness it isn't that. Lets hope Fred is just being looked after by some unsuspecting person who will be kind enough to hand him in somewhere !! Best of luck.
