CROSS POSTED From East Yorkshire Police -

"After intruders entered a house in Lissett, East Yorkshire last Thursday and took five show dogs along with an array of expensive jewellery, a camera, photographic equipment, a bunch of keys including a car key to the family car and a laptop computer, police have located the five missing Chihuahuas.

The five Chihuahuas have now been confirmed as belonging to the family in Lissett. The five dogs have been located in Warrington, Cheshire.

A 30-year-old man was jogging down a track on Friday evening in Culcheth, Warrington when he allegedly came across five abandoned Chihuahuas down a farm track.
He took them to his home address, as they all looked dishevelled and in need of food and water. Luckily a visiting friend informed the man of our Facebook appeal following Thursday’s burglary and he contacted the police right away.

Identification proved time consuming, however inroads made by Cheshire Police have formally identified the dogs came from our Lissett burglary.

Please pass on our huge thank you to all those who shared this post, we had calls from all over the country with possible sightings in London, Thames Valley and Manchester, to name just a few – Social media is a very powerful tool and we are very grateful for all your support in trying to locate these dogs.

Their rightful owner is looking forward to being reunited with their pets and the burglary investigation will continue."

2014-04-12 18:28 AlisonH

Thanks migman34 I have now changed the town name. The details were put on by Kurukullachis and we had no reason to believe they were incorrect. Good thing is the dogs are getting lots of publicity I heard them on the BBC news on the radio today.

2014-04-12 17:16 migman34

Cannot imagine what you are going through, were they stolen to order? Keeping everything crossed for their safe return and an end to your nightmare.

More info sent in to admin

FIVE Chihuahua bitches have been stolen by burglars who smashed their way into a breeder and exhibitor’s home on Thursday.

Lucy Hilton (Valenchino) and her husband returned to their house in Bridlington, Yorkshire, in the afternoon to find they had been snatched from their ‘playpen’ in the living room.

One of the stolen bitches is 14-month-old fawn Longcoat V Made Of Candy (pictured), who won best puppy in breed at Crufts this year.

The others are three cream Longcoats aged four, five and two – the latter nearly white – and a year-old tricolour Smooth.

Neighbours said they heard the dogs barking at about 1pm but assumed it was because Mrs Hilton had returned home.
