- Heartbreaking to see this little one is still missing from home. I know how clingy, sensitive and loving this adorable breed is - I have a 9 year old and a 5 year old. Someone must know something. Hoping and praying Rembrandt is found safe and soon, and returned to his rightful owners. xxx

- Haven't forgotten Rembrandt and hope one day he will be scanned and returned to DrJ and his family who loved him and did everything they could to get him back. So many people here worked so hard to find him at the time with Clarkey as very active Co-ord. He was stolen around 7am on the 30/6/14 whilst eating his breakfast on the front porch. His owner went indoors for two minutes to fill water bowls and the pup had gone by the time he returned. The collar was removed and found, probably throw from a vehicle. Private detective and tracker dog employed but no sign.
Rembrandt was only 12 weeks old when he was stolen. He will be about 2.5 years old now. - 2016-06-01 19:18 charlie and sooty

- I click on here every so often in the hope that there is news of Rembrandt. Will always keep him and his family in mind until that day when he gets lucky and a vet scans him.
- 2015-10-28 10:01 Claire
- I have been keeping Rembrandt in my mind, whenever I see a male V found. I would love to learn that he is returned. May I suggest that the puppy picture be removed and replaced with a picture from one of his male siblings assuming there is one.. a picture of Rembrandt as a puppy will not assist anyone surely??

- Thanks kezzaq. We are still looking into the Vizla 91136 but it does not seem to have a microchip whilst Rembrandt does have one.
I have now had it confirmed that the Vizsla found in the Mansfield area is a female. Last edited: 2015-08-26 17:02:49 by Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex - 2015-08-24 19:18 kezzaq

- Thanks Majorjet.
There is some confusion on a post on Lost and stolen gun dogs Fbk page as a kind helper thinks Rembrandt is home. If this is so we have not had it confirmed so perhaps DrJ could comment to let us know.
Until then we will continue our search for young Rembrandt.
Thank you to all who are keeping a look out for any found Vizsla dogs
and still following Rembrandt's page.
We won't give up and hopefully he will be found by his microchip.

Has a photo of him so worth checking out. He would be the right age for Rembrandt nearly.

- Good spotting! He might be a bit too young to be Rembrandt as he was about 3 months old at end of june so around 6 months old now. Deffo worth Dr J looking into though.

- The way we are following leads is as follows. We use a structured process. First, we establish if the dog in question could be Rembrandt: gender, age etc. Then we screen for puppy farmed dogs by asking a series of questions, including whether we can see the parents or not. Then we screen for siblings. Then we interview on the phone. Then we visit and scan. Generally this means that for every hundred ads or leads we are visiting around five dogs. There are a lot of fake ads out there. Alot of noise. DrJLast edited: 2014-09-07 12:39:42 by DrJ

- Often I wonder if the person who has stolen or perhaps bought Rembrandt ever looks at this website. If you do, and if you are reading this, then I would like you to know just how much we want him back. He is very special and super-connected to me. But, he also loves my partner, and will sleep comfortably in her lap - upside down, all fours in the air, if you please. We miss him SO SO much, and we just want him back. So, if you have him, please bring him home to Crowborough. There is a significant reward, which, once Rembrandt is home, will be paid with no questions asked. If you want to speak to me, call +447500929282. I love this little guy, and, if you have him, you are hurting us all - perhaps not intentionally. Please bring him home. Best.

- I'm very glad to see so much activity on here still. Be assured we will NEVER give up on Rembrandt or any other stolen / missing dogs.
Elaine .. I agree that you must be very insistent with the Police. Some areas are much better than others so please persist. As DrJ says .. some police forces do not take dog theft seriously .. until there is an sudden epidemic of theft in their area or a lot of publicity in the national press regarding multiple thefts locally, like all the gundogs taken in Hampshire.
I do not comment on here as often as most pages (although I do read it very regularly) as I know that DrJ is very proactive in all things to do with searching for his pup and has his detective following up all the ads mentioned on this page. DrJ also knows that he can contact me at any time should he wish to do so.
>>> DrJ If you have any new confidential information please would you let me have it so that I can forward it to our Police Co-ordinator. There are several ongoing investigations re stolen dogs in the South East at the moment so any extra or new information would be of great importance. It's the small pieces of information that often make all the difference to the success of these operations. Thank you.
>>> Re the ads that you see .. one suggestion for anyone who sees such an ad is to copy and paste it (like Happiness does .. thanks for that H) as they are often removed very quickly.
Many of the ones on Pets4Homes and other big sites seem to be the same sellers. As previously mentioned the photos in the adverts are often not of the dogs that are actually being sold.
I sent DrJ a long list of sites that sell dogs/puppies some time ago so I expect that his detective is checking those daily .. many of the ads will be posted on several of these sites at the same time (or staggered over a few days/couple of weeks) .. they're easy enough to spot as they use the same photos of dogs and/or same contact details regardless of the area they say the dog is for sale in.
>>> Elaine: Thanks for mentioning that website. Dragon Driving is on the list I sent to DrJ. If you want the list let me know and I will send it to you.
>>> I would ask everyone who is watching and helping with the search for Rembrandt to continue sharing on Facebook please .. as well as tweeting if you are able to!
>>> It's very important to keep Rembrandt fresh in everyones mind .. we did that for Lizzie the Collie stolen with her new born puppies and, although it did take a long time, she did eventually get dumped and was thankfully reunited with her owner. She was found in an area where other stolen dogs have turned up. So lets keep Rembrandt TOO HOT TO HANDLE.
If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of Rembrandt please contact DrJ or Doglost in TOTAL CONFIDENCE on 0844 800 3220. Thank you.

- Elaine. By email I have just sent you a copy of Rembrandt's Crime Number. This is a standard police form. Print this, and say that this is what you want: to register your dogs' theft AS A CRIME. It is a crime, so IT IS A POLICE MATTER! Why are some police forces taking it seriously (like mine) and others not (like yours)? Be a thorn in their side until they give in. Would they like the press to hear about this? If necessary, I will drive up and help you. Best. DrJLast edited: 2014-08-04 22:52:18 by DrJ

- Elaine. Don't give up on this. Dog theft is a crime. The police have an obligation to take it seriously. I have been lucky. The police in my area have been terrific. I really cannot complain. But, some police forces are driven by statistics. If they can't see a way of solving it, then they would rather not book it as a crime. This is wrong. Dog theft is a crime, as I said. They have an obligation to book it. The police cannot decide what is or is not a crime. That is a matter for the law. Best. DrJ
- 2014-08-04 17:25 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum
- After our telephone conversation last evening. I went into the police station today and asked them for a crime number for my missing girls Tinker and Hemp, again I was told it was NOT a police matter!!! I refused to leave until I was taken seriously. I finally got someone to take a report. They said once it had all gone through the computer I would receive a phone call with a crime number. 2 hours later I am still waiting! I won't give up and will return to the police station tomorrow.
- 2014-08-04 16:14 DrJ
- Fiona. Because I am getting so many leads from so many different sources, I need to filter them and have others do the visits. So, if you post here on doglost, then the private detective that I have hired will filter them and arrange visits from his team as appropriate. Thanks. DrJ

- I agree the gundog syndicate theory is very possible but I know they can bring these dogs over from Hungary with good breeding very cheaply. There doesn't really seem to be a market there in the way there is for Labradors or spaniels. The stealing of already trained dogs is organised crime these days. I feel their best chance of maximum gain seeing how much these dogs are selling for is to pass the dog off as a 'change of circumstances' dog. the Maidstone dog certainly fitted all the criteria and very suss the dog was sold 10 minutes before. This forum is open so maybe that's just me being paranoid! XLast edited: 2014-08-03 13:52:33 by angi

- The ad for the dog in Maidstone has disappeared from search results. Which is strange. Although if you put the url into your browser, sometimes you can find the page still.
I should say that this dog looks uncannily like Rembrandt. But, this could be just a cluster of breed traits and my desire to find him. Even so, I am struck by the resemblance.
I called the number, only to be told the dog had been sold 10 minutes before. Also strange, no?

- 2014-08-02 15:30 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum
- Do you know what workmen were working in your area when Rembrandt went missing? Although we live a long way from you in North Yorkshire, we have men working in this area we saw them the day after my girls Tinker and Hemp went missing. It could just be a coincidence , but who knows? We have people looking for gas and oil in this area but they are a huge company so could be around you also?
My girls went missing on 17th June. I.d numbers 71080 and 71081. Just seems strange.
We are like you. We will NEVER give up. Let's hope we all get some good news. Xx - 2014-08-02 15:10 Paddy

- I'm with alikat on the tradesman link. There have been other cases where a tradesman of some description has had connections with dog thieves or stolen the dog themselves. Also I would agree the person could obtain info from the breeder without her knowledge by hacking her database in some way or more likely posing as an interested puppy buyer and managing to steal info.It is possible someone could have followed when he was being walked and got the address that way. We will continue to monitor ads and share his details. The vizsla community is not vast just needs one person to suspect something and make the call x Last edited: 2014-07-31 23:51:09 by angi

- Dr. J, I think I can safely say that everyone who has looked at this page knows you have done absolutely everything you can to find your lovely boy. I believe you're right in your view of what has happened to Rembrandt. All dog owners will know how you are feeling without him around the house. Thinking about your views on how the thieves knew where your puppy was, have you considered other tradesmen who might have seen him? The postman, for example, could have mentioned in a casual conversation the new puppy at your house........ he could have been seen out and about with you and someone followed to find out where you live..... Like you, I would hate to think that such information had been hacked from institutions like the Kennel Club. Whatever happened, he is now far too hot to handle and, as he is microchipped, sooner or later he will be scanned and the truth will come out.
- 2014-07-31 08:31 SpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex
- DrJ, You are doing everything you can to bring him home. It is horrible when this happens, the not knowing, but I'm sure you will have him back. He is far too hot to handle as you say.
Great idea about the programme. Keep us informed! - 2014-07-30 19:42 DrJ
- It's now a month since Rembrandt was stolen. Everyday I wonder where he is and how he is.
My own belief is as follows: Lifted from Garden Cottage at 7am 30/6/2014 by someone (possibly connected with road works). Sighted twice independently at road works 3 miles away in Eridge at 2.20pm on the same day. One sighting was stationary at traffic lights, and is convinced that the dog she saw is Rembrandt. When Green Lane re-opens at 4pm, likely he is driven down Green Lane (where his collar is discarded, unfastened), up to the A26, and down to Maresfield. Likely he has been moved from Maresfield, and is now with a gun dog syndicate in either Wales or the North Of England.
I am told that several gun dog syndicates exist across the country, and that they ask for dogs to be stolen to order. My garden is so private that likely the thieves knew Rembrandt was there before coming to the house. This means that whoever stole him likely had the address and details beforehand. Only three databases hold this information: the Kennel Club, the Kennel Club's Insurance Company, and the Microchip Co. The breeder too: but I know his breeder, and she is a darling. Either the information was hacked or sold.
I have a private detective working on the case. He is making Rembrandt too hot to handle and is posing as a buyer across the country. So far, no luck. But, his instructions are not to stop until Rembrandt is found.
I would like to commission a tv programme on systematic dog theft, and I am looking into the matter with an independent producer. Hopefully we can get it on the BBC, and raise awareness.
Most of all I just miss him. We had bonded really well, and he never left my side. I miss the fact that, quite of his own thinking, he used to take cushions from the sofa and move them to his den / crate in the evening - for extra comfort. Cheeky little bugger! I miss him!

- angi .. Thank you for the link to the advert and some good points you've mentioned there.
DrJ .. Thanks for updates and the photos you sent me. I'm still hoping that Rembrandt being in Countryman's Weekly will bring some news of him for you.
I'm hoping everyone will be able to see these recent photos of Rembrandt's sister which will give an indication of what he will look like now.

- 2014-07-25 19:23 angi
- this one may be legit as this advertiser buys and sells gun dogs but don't know why if you are selling a dog you show a picture of his sister! and how you could possibly know at 4 months the dog will be no good at gun dog work. Being involved myself with my dogs you need to train a while before you would know that...just struck me as very odd. http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/702425-hungarian-vizsla-dog-leek.html x

- I too called the vet on 01444. They were very kind. But, the Vizsla is a girl, and probably 18 months old. Her chip is registered to an address in Greece - which I thought was a little weird. Many thanks to the lady in Brighton who called me. Even though it wasn't Rembrandt, it could have been. One day such a phone call will bring him home. DrJ
- 2014-07-24 16:15 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
- I have spoken to Oathall Vets and they have assured me that the Vizsla they had handed in was not Rembrandt. That dog was collected by the dog warden and taken to Hammerpond Kennels & Cattery. However, someone has said on the Oathall Vets page that there was another thread where it is said that the dog has been reunited with it's owner.
Zoe ..Thanks. If my calculations are right I think Rembrandt will be 4 months old in a few days time so the dog you saw was probably a bit older than him. By the way, I like your new 'helper' badge!!!
Please may I ask all of you to continue sharing so that Rembrandt is kept TOO HOT TO HANDLE. Thanks. Last edited: 2014-07-24 16:31:30 by Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex - 2014-07-24 16:01 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

- 2014-07-24 15:50 tavasz
- there are two threads running on fb re the found vizsla..apparently female and she has been reunited...sorry for getting hopes up. However the local coordinator could just ask the vets why they don't seem to use this site...a common issue I see regularly. Apparently the dog was chipped in Greece and details either not logged here or not updated.

- Thats Hayward Heath area not too far away...will inform local co-ordinator.
- 2014-07-24 15:42 alikat
- That sounds very promising - ok, they don't say puppy but they do say it was playing in the road, which doesn't sound like an adult dog. Got everything crossed - one would hope the dog warden concerned will have already scanned it. If it is Rembrandt, then it follows that we have made him too hot to handle so he has been dumped..... can't wait to hear more.Last edited: 2014-07-24 15:44:21 by alikat

FOUND!!!!!
We have had a beautiful Hungarian Vizla brought in to the practice having been found playing in a busy road. If you or anyone you know has lost this dog please call us on 01444 440224 to confirm details.
Please share this with as many people as you can so that we can re-unite them with their owner. Thank You.' apparently the sog is with the dog warden, sorry I have no idea how old this dog is, may be worth contacting them. They do say 'dog' as opposed to 'puppy', so not optimistic but worth checking out. - 2014-07-24 14:37 Zoe - Area Volunteer - East Sussex
- I saw a young Vizla being walked at "Long" car park on the Ashdown Forest yesterday. She said he was 6 months old so thought he was too old and then the more i have thought about it was nearly two months since Rembrandt was stolen which would make him nearly 6 months old. I'm really sorry i didn't ask more questions:-( To be fair the lady looked perfectly genuine but i wish i'd asked now how long she'd had him. I'd guess she walks up there quite regularly - it was around 10am and she was walking back to her car.
- 2014-07-23 15:25 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
- Thanks Angus. Let's hope it brings the news that we need to get Rembrandt home.
Thanks to all mentions of adverts .. DrJ has said previously that he has someone following up on all the adverts. I have had no news from him so he can't have found him yet.

- 2014-07-22 14:17 angi
- the problem with these ads is the pictures are probably not even of the pups that are for sale but those pups shown are too young to be Rembrandt x
- 2014-07-22 14:14 angi
- my guess with the bournemouth ad konner is these are definitely eastern European imported pups. Some of the pictures I'm sure were not taken in this country as you rightly point out Baydogs .you can tell from the building and the phone although has vodafone uk is in an eastern european language. For some reason they always have a boy and a girl wherever in the country they are selling!x

- 2014-07-21 20:21 angi
- the ads where the spelling is rubbish are usually eastern Europeans who import the dogs legally or otherwise. Puppy farm dealers in other words. They use the same ad over many months for different litters they bring in and some of the pictures I have checked are google images taken from elsewhere and not the actual pups. Still need checking though as they may also deal in stolen dogs. x

- This ad. is for 'girl' but the 'owner' also uses the word 'they' & pupie - age of pup is about right

- sophiesuds, I note the Newcastle-on -Tyne ad is email only. Reason for parting with pup is moving away with a new job. Wow,life can really change direction in 4 weeks can't it.
The north London ad has come up here before posted by wensmum on the 5/7/14. Thes are the advertisers that spell puppy as "pupie". Same pics are used, age increased.
Added later- Have just noticed that the Newcastle pup ad says he is three months and twenty nine days in the full description underneath.Last edited: 2014-07-21 01:28:51 by Baydogs - 2014-07-20 23:30 sophiesuds
- Both of these pups are on page three of pets4homes but in search engine on the side I put Hungarian vizsla for sale and under distance put national. The second puppy was put on there seven days ago. So it would make him the right age as when yours was lost/stolen he was 3 months but now nearer four months as stated in advert. Their tel no is 020 8815 9242 or there is a mobile no too.
- 2014-07-20 23:25 sophiesuds
- On same website is another hv says four months old, it's nearer to you in London does look very similar to yours.
- 2014-07-20 23:22 sophiesuds
- Been looking on pets4homes website where there is a 12 week old vizsla for sale. Looks right colour but in Newcastle upon Tyne. Advert posted 6 days ago I think. Maybe worth a look at, as I know certain types can relocate dogs easily, as well as relocating themselves. There are three photos so see what you think. Fingers crossed.

Many thanks to Vet Peter Brown of Northdale Veterinary Surgery who wrote the article. This is a photo of the article (thanks JP!) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=262576247269893&set=pcb.262576733936511&type=1&theater
Over 17000 views of this page now. To all of you who are looking .. thank you for your interest in this young pup.
We will NOT be giving up on little Rembrandt .. it just needs that one telephone call.
PLEASE keep sharing and tweeting for Rembrandt so he stays TOO HOT TO HANDLE.
Rembrandt is microchipped so if he is handed in to a vets or rescue centre they will be able to return him to his home where he deserves to be.

Special thanks to tavasz for letting the Vizsla online community know .. that's a big help. I had already posted the link to some Vizsla pages, but I'm certain you know more of them than I would have found.
Initial thoughts on theft was that it was someone who knew Rembrandt was there so possibly planned, but discarded collar seems unusual if that's the case.
We are definitely not going to discount any scenario and that's why we are so grateful to everyone who is helping to make this little pup 'too hot to handle'

Thank you. - 2014-07-09 15:42 DrJ
- My own feeling is that the thieves knew he was here and were watching the house and our routine. Rembrandt sleeps right through the night now, and wakes up at 6.30am on the button. He's been doing this since he was nine weeks old or so.
The police seem to think that he may well be in a different part of the country by now. But, we are speculating. So, we have to follow every avenue, I think.

- thanks tavasz that info helps a lot when we are looking at ads. Explains some of the dodgy spelling aswell! I can't understand though if you can get a whole litter for £30 why you would bother going to all the trouble of stealing here. makes me think all the more that this was just a chancer who saw the pup and grabbed him. The discarded collar suggests panic to me and not something planned by 'professional' dog thieves.

- We have the best part of the vizsla online community on the lookout for any 'new' pups appearing on the scene.. all over the UK. I do hope he will pop up somewhere.
- 2014-07-09 14:37 tavasz
- A lot of the puppy ads are eastern europe imports...both legal and otherwise.They have to say they are 12 weeks otherwise they could be arrested for importing pups without a rabies jab...that is the minimum age they are allowed to travel. They may be offered with papers...but mostly they are no good because although technically pedigree they may not have the correct FCI paperwork; without that you can't register them here in UK with the Kennel Club as you need an import pedigree. They still ask for the same type of money though..even if they probably paid the equivalent of £30(yes £30) for a whole litter. There is also the preloved site which is worth watching too for dodgy ads. Very sad that no leads so far on this little lad.

- the pets4homes ad I sent the office because I couldn't post it and Lucybaa also posted below needs checking as the picture showing someone holding four puppies is a google image from a foreign advert x
- 2014-07-08 17:01 angi
- It's really good the police are on the case and are now starting to take dog theft seriously. A few years ago it was a different story. There has still been a lot of dogs returned by eagle eyed ad spotting so still worth checking them out. I've engaged every person in conversation I've met with a vizsla pup while out walking my dogs this week to see where they got him from! We also have vizsla owners in our gun dog group who are keeping their ears to the ground x
- 2014-07-08 16:21 DrJ
- Just had a visit from the police. They are checking the companies and crews of the East Sussex Highways Department who were working both at Green Lane and Eridge on 30/6. This process could take some time, but they are on the case.
DrJ - 2014-07-08 14:44 Unknown
- Many ads on Gumtree and other sites advertise the dogs for sale and when you say you are interested they will offer to bring the dog to you. Once you have paid of course. The thing to do to see if they are genuine is to say you are in the area and you would like to come and see the dogs. Guaranteed you dont get a reply. Have done it a couple of times (as have others I know) and strangely enough you dont get a response. The only saving grace is that these con artists dont actually have any puppies.
- 2014-07-08 13:08 angi
- I don't think you can ever be too suspicious when looking at these ads.! I always look further than what I see.. I've emailed some other info I've found about this ad to the office x
- 2014-07-08 13:05 DrJ
- Just to say that the case is now in the hands of the police (who have been fantastic) and a private detective.
If you piece all the evidence together, then here's one scenario for what happened. Taken from my garden 7am. Moved to a car or lorry by the Rugby Club, connected with the road works that morning. Possibly travellers among the road crew. Possibly moved to Eridge for the remainder of the working day. (Two independent sightings). If he were close to my home, he'd be crying - and I am so sensitised to him that I would hear him. So moving him up the road makes sense. Then driven south at the end of the working day, and his collar unfastened and discarded in Green Lane: likely thrown from a car or truck window. Returned to me the next day. Here the trail goes cold. I suspect he was with his captors for the night, but moved to another part of the country once the search became hot - which it did very quickly - thanks to DogLost and other sites and media, like Facebook. I don't think he is still local, because either my neighbours (who were all fantastic too) or my family & friends would have found him. Also Jenny's tracker dog, Tiga, searched for hours and found nothing conclusive regarding a trail. All this suggests that Rembrandt was lifted. Possibly stolen to order.
So, in terms of getting him back, responding to ads, alerting vets and dog clubs nationwide, following any and all leads seems to be the way to go. As soon as he goes to a vet (which he will have to do sooner or later), we will get him back.

This add seems to keep being reposted
Looks very basic with spelling mistakes not much info about the dog says he's 3 months and 30 days old am I being too suspicious? Xx - 2014-07-08 12:22 angi
- I've trawled back in google and found expired ads for this seller on other sites showing pictures of more puppies at a younger age so although they may be dealers in puppies are unlikely to be the ones that took Rembrandt. I'll keep searching x
- 2014-07-08 10:38 Happiness yorkie lover xxx
- All that is needed is the ad ref number from these ads on gumtree and police can retrieve all info on this person ie address and name via gumtree xxx and check it out rather than anymore waiting it's too suss xx
- 2014-07-08 09:58 Ravenette - Area Co-ordinator - West Sussex
- I agree Angi...these ads are very suss ( I don't know if they have been looked into, but they have been mentioned further down the thread ) The puppies are always 12wks and not the usual 8wks. Never a litter, first 2 boys, then a girl, then boy girl and now just a boy and all in a short space of time! The ad for the girl is still up and the no for these ads has been posted below xx
- 2014-07-08 09:35 angi
- Now they have just put the ad back on saying they only have a boy! Very very suss. Will email the ad to the office as My ipad won't let me post it here x
- 2014-07-08 08:57 angi
- I've spent a lot of time in recent years looking at ads for stolen dogs and you get to know which ones stand out as suss. A lot are probably puppy farm dealers but some could well be selling on stolen pups. If they have access to his details they will know date of birth and kennel name. Visla pups are popular and sell well so you don't see ads on gumtree for them when they are 12 weeks old for £499 with no info on parents and the word copied exactly from a previous ad they had. The ad doesn't seem to be on gumtree anymore but I have a copy in my browser and a phone number from an earlier ad if the investigators need it. I will email to the office later. X

- In light of this story is there anyway we can have an alert to all areas? It may draw more peoples attention to him and may prevent it happening again
- 2014-07-08 07:54 angi
- As an attempt was made on his sister but I have heard of no other litters being targeted recently I would say someone has access to the breeders database. The advert I posted was for a boy and a girl but the photos were definitely only one dog so maybe the ad was posted before the failed attempt at his sister? Worth investigating x

- Thank you for the update DrJ.
A fantastic amount of work by you and your friends. Well done!
As there has been considerable publicity for Rembrandt I am 'bumping' the page.
The campaign to make Rembrandt 'too hot to handle' will continue thanks to all the people following this page and sharing the Doglost page in the social media.
We will all continue to do our best to help find Rembrandt so that DrJ and he can be reunited. Last edited: 2014-07-07 23:20:04 by Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex - 2014-07-07 10:19 SpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex
- DrJ - You have done absolutely everything possible so far. Fingers crossed there will be a lead coming from this.
- 2014-07-07 08:51 DrJ
- Rembrandt is a Hungarian Vizsla. A gun-dog, although I bought him for outdoors walking.
He’s 13 weeks and two days old today (7/7/14).
It seems that there is an increasing amount of dog theft in the UK, especially pedigree gun dogs, especially trained ones or puppies.
I suspect Rembrandt is no longer in the South East, and has been moved across the country somewhere.
Rembrandt’s sister may have been targeted nearby in Kent - unsuccessfully, thankfully. So, it looks like the thieves may have all our details off a database somewhere. Possible hacked databases would be Kennel Club, Pet Insurance, Microchip Company.
I think it is going to take quite a while to find him. But, we will see.
Timeline seems to be:
1. Taken from my porch while eating his breakfast on 30/6 @7am. (I was away for just two minutes filling his water bowls for the day).
2. Two possible and independent sightings with workmen at entrance to Eridge Park on 30/6 @2pm. Police investigating.
3. Collar recovered in Green Lane, near Poundfield. Returned 1/7. It had been unfastened, and perhaps thrown from a car window.
4. Possible attempt on Rembrandt’s sister in Kent. Not sure of date. 1/7?
5. Tracker dog fails to find trails after many hours of searching.
Rembrandt is not the kind of puppy to run off. He sticks to me like glue. (Breed trait). He is never very far from me. Just a few feet, if that. If I leave a room while he is playing or cuddled with someone else, Rembrandt will follow. After extensive searches, I no longer believe that Rembrandt is lost. I believe that he has been stolen. So, the matter is now with the police, and I have hired a private detective to find him.
Here’s what we’ve done so far, and a list of who we have contacted
1. The police: as an incident, and now as a theft (crime). Rembrandt has a crime number now.
2. The Kennel Club.
3. The Pet Insurance Company.
4. Microchip company.
5. Half a dozen lost pet websites.
6. Extensive neighbourhood search.
7. Extensive community search via schools. Mothers have organised search parties.
8. Tracker dog: no local trails found.
9. Hired private detective.
10. Every vet in the British Isles.
11. Every dog club, irrespective of breed.
12. BBC Radio.
13. BBC Local South East News.
14. Facebook: multiple sites.
15. Twitter.
16. Police publicity. website. radio. tv. crime-watch. K&S Courier. Friday ad.
17. Posters (Own + DogLost) in pubs, shops, lamp posts, bus stops, through doors etc.

- Thank you wensmum and angi. I will make sure that these are checked out.
I have also emailed DrJ to let him know about these advertisements.
There has been a fantastic response to our 'too hot to handle' campaign in the social media and we will continue to keep this up.
As far as I know there have still been no sightings of Rembrandt.
A local radio station has shown interest in broadcasting an item about Rembrandt .. and that's thanks to Annette, the owner of Meera the Saluki (stolen but now reunited) efforts. They were very helpful when Meera was still missing and raised awareness of her recent theft.
I have been in contact with a lady via Brighton Dogwatch who had some ideas of how to help find Rembrandt ..thank you.
I would like to thank everyone who is still watching the page and helping share the link to it in the social media. Your help is, as always, much appreciated!
I am not sure why there have not been any updates from Rembrandt's owner on the page but I have asked for one to be added if possible.

- Thanks PAW.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the area so I did ring DrJ to double check as you said it was in Pales Gate Lane but he assured me that the poster board was the one near to him.
The poster board was put up by one of DrJ's near neighbours and the tel number written in red is his. We did wonder if it meant pup had been found so checked it out but sadly not. Thanks for mentioning though.
>>> Annette, Meera's owner has spoken to Uckfield FM and they will help with Rembrandt when she has sent the details to them. They were already aware as they have been inundated with people telling them about little Rembrandt.
>>> Nearly 8000 views now!
Thank you to all who are following this page .. if You all put a poster outside your house or in your car it would be brilliant!
SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE REMBRANDT IS .. DO YOU?
Has a neighbour got a new puppy?
Have you seen someone walking a new puppy this week?
Can you hear a puppy in a house where there was not one before Monday?

- I shared Maggie's poster for Rembrandt this morning - as a result of the share I have had this post
- I saw a puppy found sign near pales gate lane.. Near the roundabout where they have resurfaced???
Google mapped it there appears to be a Palesgate Lane in the vicinity of Crowborough but is a long road - hoping the description helps someone more local

>>> Thanks Dawn .. that's very kind of you.
>>> Putting a poster in the car window is an excellent idea.
If everyone who is looking at this page did that it would be fantastic!
POSTER POWER!
I have spoken to a close friend of DrJ and have given advice to her. She is doing all she can to support DrJ and will organise postering in the area. I will leave it to her to let you know all the other things that have been done already.
I've suggested publicity would really help and I'm sure the Kent and Sussex Courier will be interested in Rembrandt's story.
>>> Meera's owner Annette is going to call Uckfield FM as they helped her when Meera was stolen last month. Thanks Annette.
Amazed to see that there have been more than 6 and a half thousand views of this page in the last 4 days!
Now all we have to do is get little Rembrandt home safe and sound. Last edited: 2014-07-04 00:25:46 by Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex - 2014-07-03 22:41 Dawn

- 2014-07-03 17:28 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
- Thanks CJ, ravanette and Pam.
>>> Annette .. owner is not on any of those but his friend who is trying to help him is. There have already been lots of tweets and shares. I went on Fbk all morning sharing to loads of pages including Hungarian Vizsla ones. Hope you and Meera are enjoying the sunshine (sorry did not make it to see you yday .. was too late by the time I got back fm seeing Rembrandt's owner)
>>> When I met DrJ yesterday I got the impression that he is finding all this very hard to take in so I think he is going to need a lot of help from us to help him get his lovely puppy home.
I have advised him that posters (A5 size are good) need to go through all the houses letterboxes just in case anyone saw something suspicious on Monday morning. We think Rembrandt was taken around 7/7.30am but it may have been earlier.
Apparently Green Lane was being resurfaced that morning and there were lorries queuing up to deliver the tarmac. I have the names of the companies working there and will contact them to ask if they saw anything suspicious.
>>> Dawn .. thanks so much for your offer of help. If you are able to put Doglost posters up it would be brilliant. Owner has put a couple of his own up but no more that I could see. I only had a few laminated ones and used those up .. I did give A5 posters to a few people that I saw when searching.
Went into Ghyll Park (?) where the playpark,field and lovely cool woods are. However I'd run out of posters by then so that would be a great place to start please.
I gather that the Rugby Football Club is having a 'do' on Saturday so a big poster there please!
Please let us know where you have put posters so no-one does the same place.
>>> If anyone is going to the big HD Festival (at Eridge Park?) please would they ask them to put a large poster at the gates and maybe some A5 posters to give to people???
Thanks everyone. Let's make this little pup TOO HOT TO HANDLE!

All paws and fingers crossed here that dear Rembrandt is found very soon. I have shared on my fb groups and will put a poster up on the car xx

We are also going to need help with posters please. Annette we did not have time to go to the places you suggested today but I will ring you to ask where you meant as I don't know Crowborough at all.
No sign of Rembrandt today .. now sightiings either.
I can confirm that his collar was found about a mile away .. unfastened on a verge at side of the road. - 2014-07-02 22:47 Happiness yorkie lover xxx

- 2014-07-02 17:10 Zoe - Area Volunteer - East Sussex
- Facebook really is the way to make this pup too hot to handle as Meeras owners will verify!! It does take a lot of time and determination as sadly he could have been moved anywhere by now, and unless he is circulated and circulated via the internet, it is very difficult to know which areas to target to poster. It might be worth Rembrandts owners conferring with Meeras owners for tips as I'm not great on facebook. I just feel so sad that we now live in a society that your own dog can't even be out in the garden safely without being stolen:-(

- Hi Dawn, thanks. If you have facebook then it would be great to link this page to any friends that way. Also the posters can be printed from this site, even if you stick a couple up somewhere like a school, bus stop, doctor, supermarket or anywhere else would be great. There is a lot of activity going on there today with regards to search and posters, so any small bit of help in postering or raising awareness would be brilliant.

- 2014-07-02 11:51 tavasz
- I have been informed by a reliable friend that the breeder has e made aware that the owners have found his collar which has obviously been removed..so this pup would definitely have been stolen. Let's hope he gets taken somewhere that will scan him. Have the owners remembered to update the microchip details to read 'stolen'..this can be picked up when using a halo scanner if the database is tied into scanner angel system I believe.

VickiP .. I've had a look. I don't think it's Rembrandt as it says pups will be ready on 26th Aug. I can see the tel number .. top right just click on reveal. The English does not seem very good so maybe, as Springermad says, that's why it sounds odd.
Luckily we also know that Rembrandt is chipped.

- Clarkey - any advice on phoning the Gumtree advert listed below? Advert is very suspect, dates strange - but no phone number unless you're registered and I'm not - I don't want the seller to be scared away in case it is a stolen pup :

They are very friendly,playful with children and other pets.This pupie have all vaccinations,fully vet checked and they have been chipped.If you have any questions please contact me if I'm not answer leave me text or email. - 2014-07-01 18:01 SpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex
- That is an odd advert Harvey Boy. Says pup born today. Only one pup. Microchipped. Does look like the person who advertised it is not english speaking possibly. A bit weird though.

- Have been sending tweets to local people.
Riverlady .. Please would you do tweets for Rembrandt too?
We believe that this lad may well have been stolen. - 2014-07-01 12:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
- I have just spoken to Rembrandt's owner who is obviously very distressed. Searches are going on for this little chap who is only 12 WEEKS OLD.
I have shared to C Cabs, Wheatsheaf Crowborough, C Community Centre, C Tennis and Squash Club, C Social Club, C Hub Community, C Life, C Offers, C Runners, C Leisure Centre, Crowborough Children's Centre Fbk pages.
Lots of sharing going on .. let's hope we can find this little chap quickly.

- Thanks Springermad. Can we have help with posting please? Anyone in the area that would be able to do a few? We really need to get the word out there asap. This puppy is very vulnerable and I would so like to see him home quickly. Last edited: 2014-07-01 11:07:05 by Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

- It might be worth emailing out to TN21 as well as that is the Heathfield area which is not a million miles away.

- Have shared on facebook. Its really important to get plenty of posters up and as many shares as possible on FB as that is how Meera was reunited with her owners. Really hope he turns up safely. x

- Sorry to see that REMBRANDT MISSING 7 YEARS 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: (71181)
- 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.
