i did not say yours was stolen & i don't care about people thinking it is appropriate or not. Uninformed or people that don't want to be informed can not help themselves or anybody else. When they take one in a robbery they are probably going to try to sell them for drug money, but when they just pick them up out of people's yards or snatch them from someone arms, then that may be a different story. You have your opinion & i have mine so as far as i am concerned this subject is closed!!!!

They have done that
 

in California, I believe it was. 2 idiots broke into a breeder's house with guns and took 3-4? baby-Yorkies. The breeder had a video camera in her house and everything was recorder. The poor little guys were running all over the place trying to get away from those 2 low-lives. Sadly they did get the little ones and put them in garbage bags!!:mad:

I, for one appreciate
 

the heads-up. I rather know so that I can take measures to prevent. In this world, now-a-days, we can't afford to dig our heads deep into the sand while leaving our bottom's up for grabs. Our loved ones depend on us for protection. I wouldn't hesitate for a second either to protect mine. I say, do what you have to do, I'm with you :thumbup:

Breaks my heart to hear stories like yours, so sorry!!

I don't think chip scanners should be available to the public. If someone has enough information from the chip can't they call and have the chip converted to their ownership?

This seems to be happening more in Florida
 

than in other places, or is it? I travel to Fl. at least once a year. This is very alarming :eek:

Here is the follow up to the story......

Last Suspect Arrested in Stolen Dog Case

LOS ANGELES - Four purebred Yorkshire terriers stolen at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery more than a week ago were returned to their owners after a man turned himself in to police.

Three puppies, valued at $2,500 each, and a full-grown family pet named Tan-ja were reunited with their owners at the Wilshire Division police station Saturday night. One puppy remained missing, police said.

Family members hugged and kissed the panting pups and left the police station with the dogs in their arms.

The animals were recovered after Ryan Betton, 19, of Los Angeles, surrendered to police Friday night, Detective Luis Corona said. A second suspect, 23-year-old Troy Cabral, turned himself in Sunday morning.

Hopefully the remaining puppy that was never recovered found a good home. I hope the Judge threw the book at these guys!

Almost a happy ending,
 

I would go crazy wondering where's my other one :( I'd want them all home.:(

Sad
 

wow I remember before Iwas a breeder and had a pet yorkie someone broke in my home and took money but left my dog I must admit I was so happy they didnt take my dog I would have cried for ever but I was so worried wondering if they touched my dog or wondering what my dog thought while they were in my house stealing ,Iam just glad they obviously didnt want my dog

Lucky!
 

I would feel happy as well. I prefer they take everything and leave my two little treasures :thumbup: I can replace almost all (?), but not my fur-kids :(

I know what you mean
 

I feel like an alien sometimes. Only here I can talk about my babies and no one things of me as 'STRANGE.' I am my fur-kids' mom. If I had human children, there would be no difference in my care and concern for them and my little ones. But I do see it in their eyes when people don't get it, even people with dogs. Too bad, I don't get them either :rolleyes:

OMG! How could someone be that heartless. I could never imagine my life w/o my furchild and she hasn't been with us that long. Thanks for making us aware of this. Thats terrible!!!
