Irish owners are physically cutting microchips from old and unsellable dogs and dumping them.
Price of puppies..

I get the impression that a lot of the dogs being stolen at the moment are ending up in Ireland to be bred from. But that's pure speculation, based on stories I have heard. Makes you think twice, though.
Just wait until some of these new owners find themselves unemployed due to C-19 and are foced to confront the cost of keeping any dog.

Whilst idiots are paying £1600 for a King Charles/poodle cross you can't wonder at prices for gundog pups. Last pups I bought 10 years ago cockers £400 Lab £450. Sold them when I retired a while later, fully trained and 2 years old as I couldn't take them into rented property. They all went to approved homes cocker bitches £900 lab bitch £1200.

It’s not just Irish dogs it’s dogs everywhere, some breeders just see £‘s or €‘s and don’t do any health checks, hip scores, working credentials with what they are breeding with!
Those Irish, such scum.
So they're getting dogs chipped, paying for the chip, then cutting out the chip?

Hope this is said with hefty dose of irony !
There has been a massive increase in imported "rescue" dogs from Romania, they're handing them out so easily that dogs in our own rescues don't stand a chance.
Mind, a good proportion of them are not safe.
Its almost as bad as Romania, where they're breeding dogs, for people in the uk to rescue! And doing a roaring trade!
I'd love to get somthing with a good Carpathian blood line but sure to get it in the neck from the Wife!

It doesn’t make sense to export a stolen dog to Ireland you’re down 50% of the price straight away.
The story here is that our dogs are being grabbed for the U.K. market where the big mark up is
Wherever you are don’t buy from an unverified source or the traveler community ( pretty much the same thing) unless you’re into lurchers or pitbulls.

It's the "designer" dogs I don't get the prices for. Take any random 2 dog breed them with no clue as to their outcome on temperament or health issues but give them a cute name and charge £3k. People are idiots to pay this for a mongrel and it simply fuels the people breeding them.
It does make sense if the stolen dogs are bred from in order for the pups to be shipped back to England for sale.

Nearly ever rehoming place will not let a dog go to a house with children under 12 years old. I understand why they do this but it stops almost every family rehoming a dog and forces them to buy a puppy.

Not the dogs themselves but seeing cargos of pups having micro chips removed or inserted or both on the sea front tells me all I need to know. I could go on.

They are cutting chips out of stolen dogs, pups etc and inserting their own chips and issuing their own pet passports etc.. They also cut chips from unwanted dogs and dump them.

Steady on my good man, that’s damnably close to a racist remark.
I could have you “ cancelled “ in a thrice for just thinking it.
