The advice follows the fraudulent purchase of two pups from a breeder in the Gorse Road area of Claudy on Sunday 6 Sept. The pups are ten weeks old and are unusual in that they are black with white rather than white with black. They have a white collar, legs and belly and a black tail with a white tip. Both dogs have pedigree papers and anyone selling these pedigree dogs should be treated with suspicion. Police are also urging the owners of pedigree dogs with litters to take adequate precautions to protect their pets from theft. Anyone who is offered a pup in unusual circumstances is asked to contact police at Strand Road CID on 0845 600 8000. Information can also be passed anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111. DOG WALKERS Required Cat Owners Beware - Cat trapping for bloodsports in Greenhaw area.
