you were right to be worried that would have worried me. Hope it's notsinister but as oythers have said far better safe than sorry. A wee call to the police wouldn't go amiss. Hugs to your furry friends

That is weird! Agree with everyone else, and yes, a phone call to the police, local vet practices and dog training clubs/trainers might be a good idea, just so they are aware. You did the right thing in moving on quickly. Take care!

Hi,

Also, I could be wrong as I wasn't there but I get the impression that if they said they wanted to see your dogs' collars, mayb ethis was to obtain details of you, them and/or your address - maybe to steal them?! You definitely did the right thing!

Better safe than sorry, i wouldn't like someone asking all those question, theres not just the thought of dog napping, but burglary of your home too.

very odd! you handled it brill!

Well done Kicks - better safe than sorry. At the moment it's quiet here for that but it has made me consider tattooing my mutt even though he is chipped.

There are some bizarre if not desperate folks around at the mo!!

Wow that is well dodgy

I actually just heard of a similar thing
People had bred a load of puppies (I know!!) and had carried them to the park to try and sell them to people (I know I know)
A guy asked to see one, asked how much they were, bartered the price down a bit then said he just had to nip home to get the money - and he legged it with the puppy

Mind you the 'breeders' desereved it too - thinking they could make pots of cash breeding pets and flogging them in the park

I think you did right... Someone once tried to take Takara's lead out of my hand whilst he was fussing her!!

They may have been totally innocent and genuinely interested but it's not worth risking it imo.

You did the right thing, I would of done the same as you.
Very worrying.

Very odd I would be inclined to inform the local bobby, or contact the police station local to you that liase with local neighbourhood watch, so that when they have meetings they can inform the neighbourhood co ordinators so that it can be circulated within the different areas, this way it will be watched out for,
