My name is John Kehoe and I live in Faughart, Dundalk. Ireland. On
Saturday, between 3pm and 4.15pm I had a litter of 7 3 week old German
Shepherd puppies stolen. They were unweaned and we now fear for them
as
time has passes. Where I live is right on the border area, 6 miles
from
Newry in Northern Ireland and 5 miles from Dundalk in the South of
Ireland.
I am 1 mile into the south of Ireland.
My neighbour who was trimming his very large palm trees saw a
red hatch back
car park outside my house. As he was working in a mechanical hoist and
with
a chain saw, they had ear protection on, and they thought that the
people
were visitors. He saw one exit the house about 3.45 pm but once again
never thought much of it as we tend to have a busy house, as both my
wife
and I are from large families. It was only a matter of minutes later,
that
to speak to his helper on the ground, that they both turned off the
machines
and removed the ear protection, that they heard our alarm ringing.
They
immediately ran and saw the patio door smashed and notified the Gardai.
When I returned home at 4.30pm The Gardai pulled up and told me
of the
reported crime. We checked the house but nothing was stolen. The
female
German Shepherd was running around and 30 mins lapsed before we
realised
that the puppies had been stolen. They were in the Boiler room that
was
adjacent to the house. This was the only things that was stolen.
There was
a red car and this has been verified as belonging to the thieves.
Since then we have not heard sight or sound about them. There
were 7
puppies, 3 males one black and gold and 2 sables. there was one black
and
tan female and the rest were sable colour. They were not micro
chipped. I
had booked my vet to call out yesterday, Monday. I have attached a
photo of
three of the puppies, showing the colour differences between sables and
black and tans.
Hopefully you can help. I have notified the ISPCA, the USPCA
and it has
been posted on various sites. I have also ran articles in all the
press
that will run the story.
Regards
John Kehoe
