BUYERS BEWARE
Police in Derry are asking pet owners to be wary if offered a chance to buy young pedigree Springer Spaniel pups. 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
If you are free for an hour or two please come to the centre to walk the dogs. You can come along between 9.30am and 1pm and 5.30 to 9.30pm. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult. Please call the centre to confirm 71812882 and leave a message.
