Three five-week-old Labrador puppies found dead and six more stolen

Police are looking for six five-week old Labrador puppies after they were stolen from a kennel in Perthshire.

Three other pups were found dead when the owner discovered the dogs were gone from the property in Killiecrankie on Friday.

The dogs, which are understood to be too young to be away from their mother, were stolen sometime between Thursday at midday and 8am on Friday.

Appeals for the pups have been shared on social media with people being urged to report anyone selling puppies without the correct documentation.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "The incident happened sometime between midday on Thursday and 8am on Friday.

"Six five-week old Labrador pups were stolen and three others were reportedly found dead at an address in Killiecrankie, Pitlochry, Perthshire.

Poor puppies. I do hope the missing ones are found safe and well - but cannot help wonder why they were not in a secure place so could not have been stolen in the first place.

This doesn't help the poor puppies but, what kind of a breeder leaves a bitch and litter from midday until 8am. the following morning?

Good point CaroleC but like you said, it's moot now. The dogs should have been in the house and not left for nearly that long outside in the kennels. The three that died probably died due to mother neglecting them or something, it probably had nothing to do with the person who stole the living ones.

I completely agree with both the above views. Those puppies and mother should never have been left that long, nor been shut outside. They wouldn't have been fed or bedding changed either. Maybe the mother killed 3 or maybe she just didn't have enough milk and the weakest died, if she was undernourished herself.
What a very sad situation.
