Can I say, thank you everyone for supporting owner through this awful ordeal. I know some of this story and we really need to locate all these dogs if we can. Owner would even be happier if she knew that some of rescues are in loving homes. It's the not knowing as well as missing them. Thank you. x

I havnt been able to find the multi poster can someone direct me to it.It didn't come through on the email or wouldn't show it to me There is also 5 terriers I havnt been able to add yet and im still trying then that's all of them that were taken. The spaniel and the terriers were strays I rescued myself and couldnt find them homes so kept them as family pets along with the rottweilers

Thanks Alison.

There are 7 Rottweilers missing. Think you may have missed Sniff as he was reported missing a few days before the others. I have made up a multi posters for the Rotties and will do one for the other dog once we have a photo.

I agree with Chris63, it would be good to have a poster with all the stolen dogs on one. They should all be listed separately as you've already done but as you can have two pictures per listing, maybe have one photo of the dog that listing is about and then the second photo to be a group photo. It may help to jog peoples memories. I'd like to think that if I'd seen a group of 6 rottweilers and a spaniel I'd remember!

I know who actually took my dogs what I don't know is how he got so many into the country at once on his own. The last known sightings of these dogs was at a vets in Portugal who I have been in touch with. The ports wudnt tell me anything.xx

It is a shame we can't put all the dogs on one poster and then distribute that one poster. So hope these lovely dogs are found. I will put some of the posters up on a board in Colchester where lots of people walk their dogs. X

Thanks for clarifying Alison - if the names of the people are known try looking on the electoral roll or 192.com - I am assuming there was no forwarding address left with the new people at the property.

2014-07-14 22:46 AlisonH

The owner did have an address but the people and dogs have since moved to a new location.

2014-07-14 22:44 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Surely DEFRA or the port/airport these animals were brought in through must have kept records of animals coming in and an address as to where the dogs were being taken ? I am assuming they would all be travelling on a Pet Passport. Have dog transporters been contacted ? Anyway just putting down my thoughts in case it any way helps. Failing that CCTV from the ports/airport. Wishing you all good luck. Julie x

Ah I understand. Fingers crossed with all the current publicity, you will have them home soon.

2014-07-14 18:32 anji

Yes we were all out in Portugal at the time but I have since found out all the animals were brought back to the UK supposedly to be returned to me after I got back but I never saw them again. I cant go into to much detail on here but the co ordinators are fully aware of exactly what happened and that's the basics of it.xx

2014-07-14 16:30 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

So, were all the dogs in Portugal when they were stolen? And someone else has brought them all back to the Uk? I'm sorry if it sounds a daft question, am just trying to get my head round exactly what the events were.

2014-07-14 15:57 anji

I had 7 rottweilers of my own. I had then rescued a spaniel and 7 terriers {6 of them newborn) from a ditch. I managed to find a good home for 1 of the terrier pups once she was old enough but cudnt find homes for the rest so kept them and treated them as our own. They were all stolen which the co ordinator of this site is aware of. I have tried to put a pic up of Bonita but as yet it hasn't gone up. Maybe its with listing so many at once. Im still listing the rest of the strays. The strays all have Portuguese micro chip numbers as that's where we were when it happened but I have found they have all been brought back to the Uk and were last known to be in the Groom Park area of Clacton on Sea
