Gundog theft awareness

UK dog theft is on the rise according to a BBC article, and this year has been the worst. With increased time at home due to Covid-19, people have been more likely to consider getting a companion. This has created a rise in demand and in turn placed a higher concern on the theft of working dogs.

Working gundogs are special as not only are they our best friend, but they are highly trained and indispensable for gamekeepers and those who work in shooting. This can make them high priority for gundog theft as working dogs are known to be of good pedigree, well socialised and well mannered.
