Omg...any news lately on the momma and her pups!!

shalynn65 03-02-2007 05:04 PM

This is absolutely gut-wrenching. I can not believe this. I hope they find those 2 and punish them severly.

stedmansmommy 03-02-2007 06:07 PM

I have seen this on the news today I don't know HOW many times - and it just makes me SICK every single time I see it. To SEE them stuffing those poor babies in a bag like that....GRRR!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Even my mom called me freaking out about it because SHE saw it on t.v. I hope they catch those sick bastards and throw the book at them!!! :mad: :thumbdown :mad:

Unfortunately, I think the puppies are a lost cause. At 8 weeks, they probably haven't microchipped or tattoo'd them yet and there wouldn't be any way to identify them as the stolen puppies from any other yorkie puppy. The robbers may not get the full $2500 for each dog, but I'm sure they'll make a few thousand from their 6 minute heist. There's always people out there who are willing to buy small breed dogs without papers and not question where they came from if they're getting "a deal" for dogs that would otherwise cost them $2500 each.

I do hope the adult female yorkie is microchipped or tattoo'd so that she can be tracked and eventually found and returned.

Mommy of Brandi 03-02-2007 06:31 PM

well hopefully these people will have heard the news and they'll do the right thing........money isn't the issue right now.....it's getting those babies and the other dog home where they belong.....

sexiixtc 03-02-2007 06:48 PM

that is so sad. I hope she gets her Tan-Ja and the puppies back.. what is happening nowadays! this is sick!

Mattie's Mommy 03-02-2007 07:01 PM

This is just terrible -- it made me sick to my stomach to watch the video. How can anyone be so cruel. Please keep up updated on anything you learn.

Catrina 03-02-2007 07:33 PM

Ah! the puppies looked soooooooo scared and were trying to run away :( omg i really hope those two idiots get caught soon!!!!!!! HOW SAD!!!

ALLlovesLULU 03-02-2007 07:49 PM

i wish i could do something to put these thugs in jail. honestly, if it was me i would have lunged for the guy with the gun.

MinMuf1 03-02-2007 08:04 PM

This is just horrifying! :hands: I pray that those furbabies are found safe and returned...Especially, the mother. These guys should be thrown under the jail with a bag over their heads! :mad:

ldenise 03-02-2007 08:19 PM

these guys were total cowards. and idiots to boot.

tiggerr36792 03-02-2007 08:23 PM

I will do my part in northern california to keep my eyes open for puppy sales...I hope they find these awful men soon!!!!!!!! My prayers to the family..:hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands:

Kodak 03-02-2007 09:05 PM

This was so sad & hopefully anyone buying puppies off the street or from someone that can't provide the parents will notify police.

Thorsmomma 03-02-2007 09:12 PM

Gosh!!! The video clip is so horrible. PLASTIC TRASH bag are you kidding me? Those jerks derserve...I don't know what they deserve but this whole stealing yorkies trend is horrifying! I hope the get caught! It's an outrage. In one sense is so gross seeing this on the news every ten minutes, but it's great publicity to make people aware, and hopefully someone will see these guys ans turn them in!!!!
I hope the pups and mother are okay!

Monday 03-02-2007 10:21 PM

I was able to view the video ... the poor little babies were running for their lives but got scooped up anywayz ... this is such a crime and equivalent to kidnapping ... how sad ....

bebeyorkie 03-02-2007 10:34 PM

I feel so bad..... I'm in california I will also keep my eyes open. I will start looking up puppy sale ads in L.A. area. But let's be very careful these jerks are dangerous. Hopefully we can help bring them home. Let's not loose hope!!!

LP_Yorkies 03-02-2007 10:39 PM

THis is my Breeder!!!!
 
OMG Kelly, she is the one I got Cinnamon and Bubblez from back in 2004-2005. My god! I remeber coming to her house, it was a very dark street with narrow roads. Parking was somewhat difficult to find. And down the street there is a huge fire station! My god! :eek: I hated driving around that area because it was so dark. Her house has a gate on the outside and then you walk up the porch and there's another speaker. Hardwood floors and the rooms are sectioned off so it's hard for the dogs to wonder about. THis is terrible. Sad how criminals are motivated purely by money. :(

Bnot 03-03-2007 09:04 AM

Even though I'm in Alabama, I watched the video to see if I could recognize the faces of the robbers.

Many times here if robbers are put on video, on TV, someone turns them in.

I worked in a 7-11 many years ago, and robbers came in and put cartons of cigarettes in plastic trash bags.......

But dogs??? Living breathing in plastic bags???....thats animal cruelty, on top of robbery!!! Jeez....I sure hope those guys are caught, with all the dogs, and go to prison for the rest of their lives.

Thats so sad for the owners! Glad they did have video though, maybe the tape on tv will help them find the robbers.

Its a shame tape didn't show car tag.

nancy137738 03-03-2007 09:15 AM

OMG!!!! we heard about it on the national news also...that is so sad

JeanieK 03-03-2007 09:24 AM

That is such a horrible story.

Totally unbelievable. How anyone could do that.

mdcote 03-03-2007 09:25 AM

I wonder if there is some way for the police to get the phone number of these thieves through caller id or something (though they probably used disposable cell phones).

After watching that video...if I were a breeder, I'd figure out some way to get ID or references or license plate or something before a potential buyer could come into my house. Hopefully there won't be any copycats. :mad:

JeanieK 03-03-2007 09:40 AM

That video made me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine what those poor people were feeling. I certainly hope they get caught.

I got frightened a couple of weeks ago and I took down my website for dog clothes. Someone emailed me about some harness vests. She also asked me about my parti yorkies.

She wanted me to make her some vests and I told her she could either pay through paypal or send me a money order. She wanted to pay with money order so I gave her my address.

She never sent the money order and she quit emailing. So I don't know if she just changed her mind, or if she was just wanting my address.

It is a very frightening thing.

alaskayorkie 03-03-2007 09:54 AM

I just saw this thread. I posted a picture about it Thursday night and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I hope they catch them quickly. That was sickening to see the way they treated those poor dogs, not to mention the people.

This might be a cautionary tale for breeders. Before giving out your address, get a reference in advance and call it.

To those of you who know them, you might ask them if they can get a DNA profile of a parent or sibling. That might be the only way to identify them in the future.

carlar9 03-03-2007 09:56 AM

This is so upsetting. I have received an email about it from almost everyone I know and it is on all my forums. It is very scary especially for us breeders. We have always worried about our dogs being stolen but never imagined them doing a home invasions with guns and everything. This world is getting really bad. It isn't happening only in the big cities. I have a friend who lives in a medium size town in Kansas that had her home broken into and the only thing that was stolen was one of her Yorkies. It weighed only 2 lbs and they are heartbroken. I can't help but be worried about my gang.

dalnna 03-03-2007 12:19 PM

I hvae a sticker on my front and back doors announcing to the world that we have 2 yorkies inside. I did it in the event of fire, it's a rescue sticker, but now, I think I'm going to pull it off and just leave the one on my electrical box. Geez, what is this world coming to?

candybaby 03-03-2007 12:51 PM

Any luck on catching the creeps yet?? I just keep thinking about how the poor babies were running for their lives from them. I can't imagine what the owners are going through.

Mommy of Brandi 03-03-2007 01:10 PM

Everytime I see a new post on this thread I'm HOPING AND PRAYING it's to say they found them all......it just makes me so ANGRY.....I wish I could find these guys and do lots of bad things to them....starting with shoving them in plastic bags.....OH BOY DO I WANNA CURSE

Wow... I thought the same thing they have to be able to do something I mean they can't get away with this!!! If there's anything we can do please let us know!!

SBeckett668 03-04-2007 04:33 AM

Found all but one of them!
 
Dad confronted his son after tips came in and he turned himself in. Led them to all but one of the puppies!

Good news!!!

Mommy of Brandi 03-04-2007 05:27 AM

OMG that's AWESOME news.......I hope this guy gets the living daylights beat out of him now
