Still checking in on Teddy - never say never Judy. Hope he is well and happy wherever he is. His was the first story I got interested in and he was so  like my rescue boy Bruno (now sadly departed at age 15). He is such a gorgeous boy I think he has won t he hearts of lots of DL people.   Should he be South? Area

I have only recently registered with DogLost but have ’lurked’ for some time.   I am in France and can’t do anything practical to help, but some months ago I read the whole of Teddy’s thread, and was so moved by his story.   He sounds a bit like my boy Barney who is also a collie cross, and I think he would panic if he thought I’d disappeared, he’s a bit of a limpet too.   Anyway just wanted to say  that your lovely boy is still remembered, as you already know from previous messages, and miracles do happen..

Thank you so much for your messages. It is so nice to know people still visit Teddys' page. He will be 14 yrs old now. So I sincerely hope that someone has taken him in, fallen in love with him and cares for him as I did. It fills me with horror to think he may still be out there. But... there have been success stories of dogs returned after 2/3 years missing. Oooo how I wish one of them is Teddy....judy

Totally left field suggestion - but I learned to drive in that area, and it involved a lot of going round and round the same roads! If someone could watch locally to see which driving schools use the roads near where he's thought to be, then get in touch and put some posters in their offices? Maybe one of the instructors might remember seeing him? Might be a good idea for other dogs missing in built up areas too. Only crumb of comfort is, difficult tho it is for Teddy's Mum, Teddy must be quite enjoying his freedom, the old tyke, or he'd have let himself be picked up by now. Hope he shows himself again soon now it's getting colder

I have just spent the afternoon re-reading this story. I can't seem to get it out of my thoughts - and I can see I am one in hundreds who care for your Teddy. Your constant helpers have been amazing and I'm sure give you strength. For the rest of us reading and plotting on maps its frustrating to be unable to do more for you. I do wonder if someone does know his whereabouts and possibly that is why the posters get taken down in the hope it will die down and they can keep their secret, but as a collie owner I can't think what kind of person could KNOWLINGLY keep someone's precious boy like that. Maybe he doesn't live with someone as their pet but they are aware of his whereabouts and 'look out for him'. I know you will never give up. I wish I could do something to help you Teddy is a dear and reminds me so much of my previous dog who lived to be 16. Having known him I think Teddy could survive in a ferral way easily as long as there was a supply of food and maybe a 'guardian angel' watching him from a distance, possibly some workers at a farm or factory, or people who are not computer minded. My thoughts are with you and Teddy always and sending you positive thoughts.Hilary & Fly xx

Please don't give up on Teddy, I recently heard of a true story where a collie was separated from his owners for two years and found on a travellor site, scanned and returned home, and so pleased to see his real family even though he was only young when he went missing he recognised them right away. Collies are so smart. Keep 'talking' to him, and believe you will see him again. Thinking of you.

Hi, I don't know if you believe in this stuff, but I contacted an animal communicator to help with the bearded collie cross, missing from Aberdeen. I have been following Teddy's story too, so the 2 dogs were going through my mind. This person put me in touch with a medium who told me that the dog was ok and with a person in a flat- a down and out sort of person. He kept mentioning steps or a place called steps. Anyway when he described the dog, it sounded like Teddy not Rollo,as he described the colour as gingery colour , bad hips, problem with his eye. Rollo is grey and has no hip problems. Could be completely incorrect but I thought I should tell you anyway. Hope you find him someday. thinking of you. x

Thanks all who pop into Teddys' page. Still no news unfortunately. As Owl says, dogs become very clever and adept at looking after themselves once they get a taste for it. I have not had any sightings for some time now. I just don't know if he is still out there, been taken in by someone, or has not survived. It is heartbreaking not knowing. But I will never give up on him...judy

Ah, now I know which dog you mean. I've actually had my beady eye on him as I take a particular interest in dogs on the run. I do know that dogs have often been caught after several months on the run, the record that I know of being 4 yrs. Once they have got the hang of living feral, worked out some safe dens and some good food sources, they can go on indefinitely. So if a dog is still being seen after a few months you can reckon he knows how to survive. Trouble is, the longer they are out there, the better they are at keeping a low profile.

F.A,O. OWL. - Sorry, I have confused matters as I meant there is a collie cross missing in MY area - Aberdeenshire, and I really wanted to know when the last sighting of Teddy was and how long between sightings to give us some clues as to how long there sometimes is between sightings and how long they can be on the run for etc. Just need any help or info on how to catch this dog and bring it home. If anyone can help please PM me. I hope Teddy is home soon too. I can barely believe that he has been missing this long and is surviving at his age.

Hi, have you had any more sightings of Teddy? There is a bearded collie cross been missing in this area for 6 months now and there have been no sightings for a month. He seems to have a triangle area as his territory also. any advice would be appreciated on this aspect for the owners. I just went 100 mile round trip yesterday to have a look in an area which he has been before after some help from an animal communicator but there was no sight of him. If OWL would like to give me any advice to forward tot he owners I would be grateful. Sable

I had a call from a lady who gave a dirty looking collie type dog a drink of water a few days ago. Let her local vet & dog warden know about a stray. She then saw a poster of Teddy at Ashlyn school in Berkhampstead. If it was him he was seen in Hilltop Road Berkhamstead which is not far from the last sighting on the A41 at Bourne End. ..judy

There is a large scout camp just off the A41 kids are so observant and they always seem to be cooking, good smells to attract a dog. Tonycan, twas nice to meet you in the woods today.

We have plotted a small triangle within a triangle to concentrate on areas which are consistent with previous sightings of Teddy. This gives us Boxmoor golf course ( +bury woods) throught to Stoney Lane & the church area. Also the prison/airfield area. These could be 3 points of the triangle. Will poster more over the weekend in these areas. I need a long walk from one end of the airfield to the other! Hope to do it also over this w/e...judy ps..I have had numerous pm's thank you all so much for caring x

Yes Candy, water consumption is up!! It was nice to get the rough collie home. Owl has been given owner details. Ian has been plotting triangles and also triangles within triangle. It puts him in Bovingdon. These were the most concentrated last sightings before it went quiet. I think that is the area to concentrate on...judy

I wish I could come over and help look, it must be like needle in a haystack. I just hope this is Teddy and he get's himself caught now. I presume you are drinking vast amounts of water again Judy.

Teddysmum tells me that the rough collie only got out and went walkabout this morning, so the Thursday sighting won't have been him. Triangles - as I understand, a feral dog likes to den up at the 3 corners as well as points in between, and does go approximately from one corner to the other, but will be making detours for hunting, scavenging, seeking water etc. The triangle defines the dog's territory but he can turn up at any point within it. BTW I think most of us now think the St Albans sightings near the lake were of another dog.

dog recovered -- NOT TEDDY --- it was a ruff collie, with a white star on his neck, a bit of a weepy eye and a small limp to the front left leg, Jackie - and myself went to the police station to discount Teddy. I spoke to the owner who is looking for help, it is her brothers dog who is quite ill at present and she is having trouble coping with looking after him and a collie weho likes to have a wander off, I can not house him at present or i would take him in for a while, he is friendly and a bit matted, but loved a cuddle, the owner is asking for help and i have her number, so if anyone can help please get intouch. The sighting on the A41 is still the latest news, I will plot areas and triangulate the previous sightings with the aid of a map, and we shall see what appears. Judy is at my place so getting off to a new sighting will be quicker... thanks nick, jackie, and shelly, for all the efforts you are making on Judys behalf...... IAN

Triangles: Does the dog walk the sides of a triangle or operate within it. If it's the latter then these two sightings are so right. If it's the former then it's still a reasonable fit. (I am discounting the St Albans 'sightings' as I'm not convinced they were Teddy.)

I think the canal needs to be postered from Two Waters to the Little Heath turning (one after church). Can people post what they have done, and I'll try to fill in the gaps. Canal posters never stay up long. I'll also speak to BW's maintenance office at Bulbourne.

Teddy's mum - in an attempt to raise spirits wanted to tell you of a story in my local news (Edinburgh) today. A little schnauzer named Molly went missing from her home in June last year - she was chipped and had id on etc but her family, despite searching for months never found any trace of her. Until the weekend, when she was picked up by a dog warden who found her walking the streets in an area not very far from where the family stay. Totally fine although a bit matted as her hair hadn't been cut. She had been well fed and its thought that she was being looked after by an elderly couple who kept feeding her. So, a year later, little Mollie is now back home with her extremely overjoyed family! The moral of the story - never, ever give up! Teddy is out there somewhere and with everyone's help I'm sure he's going to be home soon xxx

Nik, thanks for postering. I will go back to the services and have a look at the stream. We saw your posters at industrial estate. Had invaluable advice from Owl re triangle and tracking. Will get out again later today...judy

Judy, I didn't actually go into the services because I thought that would be your first port of call. A few thoughts: 1.There is a drainage ditch/stream by the service slip which might be providing a water source. 2. There is a cafe in the middle of the industrial estate 3. Pub at Winkwell ought to get a poster just in case that's the canal entry point. (I was on foot for everything below the industrial estate and didn't get quite that far.)

Morning Teddysmum, I was going to post a suggestion that you reposter back in Bovvy around his old haunts near the church and find you are one jump ahead of me and have done it. All you have to do now is get one jump ahead of Teddy, not easy as he would put the SAS to shame with his skills. I'm sure he has any number of dens and bivouacs and from what you tell me may have been flooded out of one of them hence being seen plodding along in heavy rain on Thurs. Bearing in mind the triangular territory that ferals usually occupy, can you work out another map for it taking into account the Bourne End/ Bov airfield area?

Well, having had very little sleep last night, I poodle off, arrived at said location and realised I had left posters at home!!! This was 6am.. I did walk the area to familiarise myself as it is new territory for me. It is very close to bovingdon airfield so he could well be circling the area and have a number of dens. As posted by Ian & Jackie we met up and postered. I will blitz back in bovingdon tomorrow in case he is on his way back in. Doglost travel well..had a call from Sweden, two hemel crew on holiday but heard the news. Thank you all for your messages and the numerous pm's I have had. It is so heartwarming and uplifting to read them, knowing so many people care. God bless you all. DEE I hve told Ian he must stay with trap 24hrs a day if we use it. I'll chain him to it!!..judy

Judy, Ian and myself did the Bourne End area this evening but the majority of the postering had been done earlier. I suspect by Nik, so congratulations Nik on your hard work. We did go to Westbrook Hay and put up a few posters and also gave a poster to Macdonalds. Let's hope there will be more sightings

Can anyone get a poster to The Complete Outdoors Store at Bourne End next to the White Horse and Anchors Public Houses? Its local but also loads of local walkers/ramblers will visit this shop, so these are the people who will be walking locally so will more likely come across Teddy! They do not have an email or fax so im unable to send one and I do not live locally(or I would be out looking) the telephone number is 01442 873133. I have also sent the poster to Westbrook Hay Preparatory School. Please let him be home soonxx

Judy remember if Ian needs it we now have a dog trap (assuming its not gone elsewhere) - available for a deposit and on the promise that Ian sits next to it 24 hours a day so it doesn't disappear too - they're like gold dust these things (and thanks to our very generous donor for buying it!)

Thanks all for messages. ShelleyC thanks for all of that, excellent. On my way there now to poster blitz. I am lucky to have the hemel crew and Ian's place of work has 200 odd staff and all aware and travel in and around the area daily. Hardly slept last night, here we go again. Still can't believe it. DEE, Ian is still on the case and all fired up again His dog catching ability, as you know, is incredible, so all fingers crossed now that this could be the beginning of the end and we will get him into the blue.

Hi Judy, I did get your voicemail last night but signal in my new home is erratic so it landed well past midnight, too late to call you. Have to go somewhere now but will call you during the morning. Very pleased to hear of a sighting, not all that surprised though. If a dog can survive for a few months in the wild it knows what it is doing and can go on for far longer, and collies certainly have done so, but the longer they live feral the harder it is to get sightings as they really go undercover. Hope we can pull the old boy in now.

Nik, thank you so much. All fingers crossed now for another sighting. Apparently the white "star" on the top of his neck is what attracted attention. Otherwise he looked filthy and dishevelled consistent with a dog on the run.

I cannot believe I am posting this....TEDDY SIGHTING.....It has been 8 long months since the last sighting. Seen by a colleague of IAN's yesterday at 5pm walking along the A41 between Tring and Bourne end heading toward Hemel on the left hand carriageway. I will poster tomorrow at the Bourne End services and surround. He could be hopping along through to the airfield and Bovingdon. So I will put some up there too. There will be food scraps around Macdonalds at the services perhaps this is a regular run for him ...judy

Hi all, Well there might now be a lead. Ian saw a man walking a dog on Boxmoor golf course (opposite club house area). 2/3 weeks ago. Teddy lookalike. Then last week he saw a poster for a DOG FOUND posted near the Fisheries pub in Boxmoor. I have been ringing the number and leaving messages all week but have not had a response. Strange! The poster was not overley clear as it had been rain damaged. Yesterday, we saw that it had been removed. Is this TEDDY? Has someone taken him in, advertised and now want to KEEP him. I will be out there postering in usual siting areas and also around the fisheries. Please keep a lookout everyone. Especially around the golf course area. Thanks ...judy

Judy this house is in Shothanger not Stoney, it is the last house on the left going in Bury end or the first on the right continuing from Stoney. Perhaps the man walking a collie in Stoney was not from the lane as it seems a popular dog walking lane.

Whippet, we put posters into every house in Stoney lane up to the bend at the top when it becomes Shothanger lane, Which house is it. We also knocked on all doors and spoke to everyone who answered. A man up at that end did not know of a collie around there. Let me know which house and I will go up there..thanks....judy

Judy this dog had a white blaze running up the middle between eyes to top of head and looking at Teddy's picture he does not. We thought this was the same dog that we had seen a man walking in Stoney Lane. Need to be up there when someone is in the house and ask them or have you been to that house before.

Hi all, In answer to your question Whippet. No I have never seen a collie in Shothanger lane. We did put posters into ALL houses up there and the length of Stoney lane following the sighting in Dec. We also knocked doors up there too and no one knew of a collie. Do you think this could have been Teddy. It ties in with all the sighting areas in that vicinity. Did he look dirty and unkempt? Thank you for postering. I will be redoing poster with varying shots of Teddy. Hope this will be helpful...judy

Glad you are having a good time. That is an excellent idea and will help evaluate possible sightings where someone just sees a rear end vanishing into the undergrowth.

haveing a good time very hot and the food is great -- Teddy has got a white star on the back of his neck, and is tan leading to black across his head. When we get home we are going to redesign a poster with 4 different angled shots of Teddy this should give a better look at him from every angle. IAN AND JUDY

We have postered by the golf course and along Stoney Lane, Bury Road and Shothanger Lane. Judy if you get to read this and can answer please tell us whether you have seen a collie in the last house on the left in Shothanger Lane just as it then becomes Stoney Lane. This afternoon a dog appeared from there and barked at us, at first we thought we had made a find but on closer inspection we saw that it had a wide white blaze up the middle of his head. After barking at us for some time it disappeared round the back of the house and we left. We had second thoughts that we should have taken a photo and went back but the dog was nowhere to be seen.

Thanks for that info, Ian. It has been a long time since we got a sighting, and that one is right on his usual beat, isn't it? Hope the gang have him collared, washed and brushed and ready at the airport in a fortnight's time. Well, you never know ... and it would just be typical of the way things turn out if we get some more sightings at this point.

So thats good, they have not forgotten him. Thank you for your thoughts Sue. I find it very comforting that people are checking this page for Teddy and willing him home.

Well, I was able to do a run today around the areas in Bovingdon where Teddy has been sighted but only in the car. Had a good look around but limited as did not get out !! Ian, with his runs during the week, found some more fur in the same place in Stoney Lane, which is encouraging. Jackie-anne, I didn't know you had now become a Weather Girl as well. What a multi-talented young lady you are. I see many posters are down. My pc is now back so will print off and blitz over the weekend...judy

Sheltie lady, thank you for the suggestion. There are, in fact, houses surrounding the area, however, the posters that go are from a particular area. The ones, for instance, on telegraph poles stay in place as do many others. The local council, Dacorum, have a byelaw forbidding postering. But I, as many others, do not beleive that postering for missing or stolen dogs is advertising, more like heightening awareness. BUT, there is always someone with a peaked cap red braid and a gold badge who become heartless goblins, as I call them. We just re-do as is necessary....judy

I live so far away from this area, I have no idea what is around the location, but are there houses near the spots where the posters are disappearing from? Do you think someone has taken him in and letting him roam . This could explain the elusive sightings. Have you tried door to door enquiries if this is the case? You have probably already thought of this ,but it is a suggestion. Good luck Teddy's Mum. Will check on site for any news.

I see the poster goblin in Church street by the public footpath has been active again. Both posters now down!!! I shall have a blitz tommorw, that will keep them busy eh heartless, mindless little creatures. I see from bobbys page that some postering has gone on for Teddy further afield.

I would like to thank everyone for their good wishes over these past months and also and very importantly to the hemel doglost crew, whose help and support has kept me going all this time. Their relentless activity and searching is second to none!! So a big thankyou to Nik, Phyllis, Pat, Jackie-anne and Ian. I have had an email from a friend, now living in Canada, who used to live in Austen Meads in Bovingdon. She tells me there is a footpath at the back of Austen Meads which runs between the houses and goes through to Bovingdon green by the cricket pitch. It would also lead in the direction of the Chess Valley ( I had 2 sightings there very early on). I will investigate this as it might be nearer to his hiding place perhaps. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope 2006 brings all these lost and stolen dogs home where they belong.....judy

Hi all, I think everyone was woken with a start on Sunday morning, and yes i am fine. No damage to the house either but the flats along side and the next road over have had windows blown out. Thanks Pats for the info Judy and I will have more long cold hours out in the wilds of Hertfordshire, We have been feeding a previous sighting location but no sightings. But the food is being taken by something. I am hopeful that we are in the right location, now we just need the right time...... IAN

Thanks Nik. I was out last night until about 0130. I noticed some bins out in Stoney lane Monday, so bin day is Tuesday??? I drove around everywhere but did not see any more out. I am sure it is Friday am collection. My car now looks like a field having travelled frequently along bridle paths and should get a trophy for rally driving in the mud!! I checked out St. Lawrence' church hall. Are there any more church halls in Bovvy? ...judy

Hi alll, My pc is still down so am dependant on work at moment. Patsone, thanks for that it does definately sound like Teddy. We are trying to lure him to us by feeding but to know that he runs behind the church hall is good and may give me a better area to look at. Also need to get out now in the early hours more often. Bin day in Stoney lane is Friday am so bins are out on Thursday evenings. Teddy has obviously become religious, as he is always near to the church!!! He has often been described as wolf like as the colouring on his face gives him that wolf/huskey look. He is handsome, but nearly 7 months on the run he must look like the scruffy tramp of Bovvy. I hope it will not be much longer before I have him. I think it must be Dora time....will get Ian organised!!! ...judy

Teddy would have been about 1 1/2 miles West of the explosion. He would certainly have been woken with a start as Chloe was and we're about three miles South. Ian on the other hand is only about 1/2 mile away.

Excellent Patsone, very useful info. Our Teddy does go in for some anti-social hours! We knew he was out late sometimes but it seems he is an early bird as well. Wolfey-looking, a fair description now I'd say, as his secretive feral lifestyle over the past months will have given him a wolfish manner apart from anything else and he is nice and hairy with a big ruff and something of a crafty glint in his eye.

Two possible options Patsy: Out the back of the village hall and diagonally across the school field to Church Lane & then Stoney Lane. Alternatively straight out the back, across Vicarage Lane and behind the back of the first few houses in Stoney lane.

Judy, I was over bovingdon yesterday and spoke to an old man who told me that over the months he has sighted what he described as an old dirty wolfey looking dog ( sorry if its you most handsome teddy) but he couldent be sure of its breed, he said the few sightings hes had were the early hours of the morning and that as soon as the dog sighted him it ran off, the sightings were in the actual village and the dog ran off in the same direction, behind the village hall, i showed him a pic of teddy and he said he couldnt be sure as its been dark so early but he did say that the dog was the same size and he couldnt be sure it wasnt teddy either, When he said wolfey it reminded me of my daughter saying that teddy looks a bit husky looking in hes pic so it did make me wonder, I know there is access behind the hall just up the road a little but dont know where it leads, I will check it out 2moro, I asked him for a phone number but he didnt have one so i have left both our numbers with him and said to call either 1 of us no matter how early in the morning if there is another sighting, I gave him a poster of teddy which he said he would happily display in hes window, ..when i go over 2moro i will see if i can find some bins that he may be sniffing around and have access to in the early hours, ..Teddy so reminds me of paddy and i know paddy would have survived this long too just like the dog mentioned by whippet, We will find him judy ..i just know it..still on the teddy trail..patsy xx

Just read in today's Dog World newspaper of a collie cross that has just been caught after living wild for 5 years in the Weston Super Mare area. Hope Teddy is caught long before 1 year never mind 5 but it just goes to show that they can survive out there. Time to come home Teddy.

The new additions to the team spent hours today walking the whole of the village, bridleways and the lot but no luck. Bet Teddy was asleep somewhere. I explained that he is very elusive and sometimes doesn't go on the move until late, and sometimes no one sees him for weeks. They were disappointed not to have had a sighting but had a pleasant walk through lovely countryside. Big thank you to them for trying.

I never thought finding pilchards would be so difficult. Had to settle for mackeral, so I hope they do it for dogs. I think Stoney Lane is only now passable the entire length by 4x4. Didn't spot you Judy, but I didn't hang around too long as I had the dentists.

Hi Judy: Still praying for Teddy to be home soon. One of mine is a collie cross who doesn't like strangers approaching him (he was a rescue dog), he'll run off until I turn around and walk the other way, soon comes back. This website is phenomenal, I wish we had something like it in Toronto for lost dogs. All the best to your mum and sis. Linda, Toronto.

That's a novel approach to dogcatching, Ian, hehe! I think he and Judy will come face to face long before he becomes too rotund to leg it, and I really think that once he sees her all the memories of the years he has been by her side will outweigh his recent nomad habits.

Hi All, It appears that the locals put the food out for the foxes at night, Judy an I will be there tomorrow and probably end up in the half way house for Sunday lunch, anybody is welcome to join us. There are several ways to approach and Teddy was cavorting with the puppy over some distance, at least 1/2 a mile which to means to me he knows the area very well, There is a farm not far away and plenty of open land, although i suspect that he will have a very good hidey hole somewhere. I said to Judy that i am reluctant to take Dora there just incase she finds his sleeping place and he decides that another dog has been there and moves on. The only suggestion is FEED -- FEED AND FEED hopefully we can make him so fat he cannot run away, he obviously has competition for the food source with the local foxes. We drove the length of the lane and gave vritually every house a leaflet on Teddy --- so everyone in the area is aware that Teddy is around -- hopefully more sighting soon........ IAN

Well, if there's no plan I'm going to take the easy option and sit in the car in Stoney Lane (and possibly let Doug and Chloe do the walking about). Does anyone know at what time the local woman saw Teddy and puts the food out for the foxes ?

Just back in a change of clothes! Toledo and I with Lucy spent an hour along Stoney Lane and got caught in the sleet storm. Lucy wants to know can another dog go next time, she was not born to be a Siberian husky!!! Teddy had more sense he was no doubt watching us from his hideaway thinking look at those idiots out there in this weather. So like NIk said is there going to be a plan or are we all going up as and when we can??

Judy is there a clue as to which part of Stoney Lane? If we enter from the church end how far down do we go before we are close to where Teddy appeared? It is a long way back out to the main road at the other end, so is there a part where we should pay particular attention?

Judy, that is excellent news! Keep on laying the scent and I bet it won't be long before he suddenly appears from the bushes. I know some people haven't been optimistic about an old dog surviving that long, but today for the first time I asked myself if my old boy Humphrey the puli, who is a few months younger than Teddy, could manage to keep himself fed and sheltered in that kind of environment - and I realised that he certainly could manage on scraps, roadkill and the occasional unwary rabbit. These old sheepdogs of whatever kind are crafty as you like, and Teddy has such a lovely thick coat to protect against the weather.

Well folks. This is DEFINATELY TEDDY. The lady he followed looked at other photos I have of him from differing angles. She is Absolutely certain. He followed her and her 6month pup for some way along Stoney lane. Barking and wanting to play with her puppy. I spent 7 hours there yesterday. Did not see him but he will now know that I am around...judy

Just got in from almost 2 hours around Stoney Lane/Church Lane. Took Lucy our whippet puppy in the hope that Teddy would once again come out like he did after the other puppy but no luck. Met a lady down Stoney Lane who had just walked the whole length and like me had only seen the tractor. I could hear a dog barking and it was coming from that field in the corner of Church Lane next to Bury Farm, the one where you go through a gap and then a gate. There are about 6 horses in the field. As I went through there the barking went to the next field, so on I went and the next and then it stopped and I lost all track of any dog. So whether this was Teddy or some other dog who knows? I am not sure who brought home the most mud Lucy or me but alas the spare lead I took came home with nothing on the end of it. I am hoping you have more luck this afternoon Judy but if not I will try again tomorrow morning.

Whippet, thanks for posting for me. Have now also spoken to both Nik and Ian. Got my pc going!!!! It must be male, it is soooo cantacerous! I am feeling very positive on this one. The lady is very positive and if it was Teddy he came out because she had a puppy with her and he followed them for some way. At least I now have a definate place to explore. I am meeting up with her tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed ...judy

UPDATE... Judy has managed to decipher the tel no and has spoken to the lady who reported the sighting. It is Stoney Lane which is off Church Lane in Bovingdon. The dog was old, dirty but not too thin. Fingers crossed everyone that this is Teddy.I will look around tomorrow morning and Judy will do the same in the afternoon. Come out, come out Teddy.

Judy has had a call of a possible sighting but the caller was breathless and the message is very difficult to understand. The tel no she left was a Bovingdon number but Judy cannot catch it all. So we presume the sighting was in Bovingdon. The road sounds like Springer Lane but I cannot find this road on the map. Does anyone have any ideas? Jackie Anne, Nik do you know????

getting to be worldwide doglost, At least there is an international interest in those with long plights, the hard bit to do is to keep going and that is what we all do is to support eachother at times when we nearly give up -- NEVER GIVE UP -- it pays off in the end -- IAN

Courtesy of a double-booking we spent all afternoon in Bovingdon. Did several tours of the usual area - one at dusk. Renewed some posters. Toledo's (almost) straight one by the footpath in Church Street had been ripped down. Too dark for Rucklers Lane I'm afraid. Will try to go in next day or two.

Well did a dawn run this am. Got to K.L at 0545, Still dark folks no daylight until 0630. Had another good drive around and then when daylight appeared I walked through some woods I have had my eye on. Nothing. However, Ian has seen and shown me a barn that needs investigating. It must now only be visible that the leaves are starting to fall....judy

Sadly, I think we dispelled the theory about Teddy running into someone's arms to get away from the fireworks. However, I think having a mass evening search around Bovingdon is a good idea. Quite happy to do it again. (Jackie-Anne there were danish pastries AND chocolate....)

Well we had a great firework display as we walked the lanes and fields of Bovingdon tonight but unfortunately Teddy did not appear. Across one field Nik encountered lots of rabbits, our torch was running down and in the darkness we came face to face with a horse. The noise from the nearby display was deafening, I asked Phyllis if Americans had the saying "enough to waken the dead" - she did not think that was funny as we were walking through the cemetary at the time!!! Soon after Phyllis saw a dog running through the cemetary and she and Nik went looking. Later I saw the dog shaking in fright from all the noise and managed to coax it to me, soon after a lady and 3 other dogs appeared, this one had run off from her. So at least we felt that some good had come of the night. Some people will never learn and walk their dogs while world war 2 is being re-enacted.

Regarding the 6 stolen dogs. Correct information. They were taken from ParkWoods on Saturday, not Mad Bess. Also one (GSD) was taken from Bayhurst Wood. A friend knows one of the owners and will pass on doglost information. Will speak to another friend who knows some of the other owners and will pass on doglost information.

I will also put one of Samba on the gatepost leading to the sites. When they know Doglost is involved they will hopefully let them loose.

Working all day Saturday but could be available Saturday evening to meet up for a walk around Bovingdon. Jackie Anne.

Whippet, I thought I would move around depending on where the loudest noises are. Perhaps walk in areas of sightings in case I hear howling. Other than that I am not too sure. I will think on it and go out and about during the week as well. I think Saturday will be the worse as it is nearest the 5th.

Mind you which bonfire night do you mean, they have been going off all night here, sickening isn't it or are we just getting old, certainly it is not good for the dogs, one of ours is terrified but Mo will sit with her if Phyllis and I come for the stake out.

Hi all, Toledo, thanks for the postering and the planned Bricket Wood area. I will buy you either a barrel of tonic for said diluent or a spirit level. Both work equally well !! Ians comments re forthcoming fireworks are accurate. Teddy is terrified of them, both bangs and flashes. I will be in Bovingdon and Kings Langley that evening/night in the hope that his fear will drive him out toward people. Ian is now on nights, so anyone around the periphery of the prison and said cameras, just produce some rude gestures as you pass. I will let him know they are directed at him for letting out my secrets publicly!!!!!!!!!!! Jackie-Anne, we are now ALL waiting for said chocolate bars....judy

We spoke about next Saturday being a little on the loud side and poor Teddy being scared. He may go to someone for protection, he may just sit and howl, we need people in areas over the weekend, Bovingdon, kings Langley, etc... As Judy knows i will not be there but i will be wishing you all the luck... IAN ------ P.s. Judy is ok on Gin & Tonic but keep her off the wine =--- lol :-)

When is Jackie-Anne going to show up with these chocolate bars that she keeps promising? I sure wish we would hear news of Teddy. We can get back out postering tomorrow hopefully. I will take some to work and do Bricket Woods again with the October date on it on the way home.

Jackie No, I do not put paint on straight either. In all my years of teaching, it has been an ongoing joke that I have never drawn a straight line on the board. You would think that I had grown up in the mountains somewhere with one leg shorter than the other, instead of the flat Great Lakes area. You keep offering those chocolate bars------someday I will take you up on that.

Hi Judy, we postered today, 2 at Boxmoor golf club and some round the back of the course up Felden Lane. We also put one by Little Hay golf course. We did Bovingdon round Church Lane, a couple up the road by the well and the High Street. We put some down the road to the prison and some around the houses at the prison. Also put one by the road where the lady reported Teddy in her garden. You will know the ones that Toledo put up as they are crooked!!!! when Nik comes back from her break we will ask her if there is a course at her uni which will teach Phyllis how to hang them straight - she has not hung one straight all afternoon!!! We are at dog shows all weekend but we can do some more postering next week.

Could Teddy be mistaken for a 5yr old? There is a tri colour long haired collie x on Dog Pages been picked up in the Midlands (no picture). Wearing a collar but assume no tag. Long shot but worth a look. Chris

Unless anything else happens, we'll head up the canal from Hunton Bridge as far as we can. If Teddy is hitting the canal near the M25 then we need to make there are posters on the stretches either side. Don't expect to manage it before Sat.

The sighting was near the canal at Croxley Moors. Have spoken to the woman again who phoned it in. This was not an overly nervous dog, so don't think it would have been Teddy?! I am going to stay with Bovingdon unless something more positive happens/ Nik and Patsy thank you for being out there...judy

hi judy...went along the canal nr hunton bridge via marina..didnt see any posters of teddy so began to wonder if i was in the right place..are we talking the two bridges off the ricky rd?? anyway i postered it up and gave postrs and info to boat owners ..i posted the boats that had no-one on board.. ( and didnt get a very good reception frm a great big english bull terrier) lol..spoke to quite a few people over there who promised a call if theres a sighting..a dog- walker frm chipperfield had heard of teddy and bobby and said she has had her eyes peeled since...if i was a bit to far up river can you let me know..thinkin of you both...pats x

I've been reading through this thread and wondered whether Teddy, or maybe a dog that looks like him, could be living on a boat. As he seems to be spotted only occasionally, and at different points along the canal, it could be when the boat is in the area. Good luck with the search. Chris

We went from Hunton Bridge to the iron bridge on the edge of Cassiobury Park (The marina at Two Bridges is the other side of it). Postered and spoke to dog owners and a couple of kids who are on the canal every day. There are no residential moorings on this stretch except the six we have in the village)

We went from Batchworth lock at Rickmansworth to Mill Lane lock which leads to Croxley station. Posters at key points and spoke to various boat people. Cattle on Croxley Moor, so didn't bother with that. Went back down the old railway land because it runs between the fishing lakes. Given Ian's theory that Teddy reaches the canal at Kings Langley, we will probably go down the canal from Hunton Bridge towards Croxley tomorrow.

If Teddy's walking west along the canal then he's heading home. Trouble is, if he hits Rickmansworth, there are so many water options. We usually walk down the old railway line that goes through the middle of the water on Saturdays. You get a pretty good view of the water both sides, but perhaps we will walk along the canal from London Road towards the place that Teddy was spotted in. There are plenty of boats in Rickmansworth, so we'll check for doppel-gangers.

Oh god, I wished I'd known. I drove past the shops at 8.30pm. I know Debbie the Dog Warden, so happy to call her if that'll help. I'll also talk to our own barge people and see if they know if anyone has a Teddy lookalike further down. The trouble with postering the canal is that they don't stay up very long. However, could get them to the BWB maintenance people.

Hi all, We did a dawn run on Sunday morning around perimeter of prison and across to the market. Nothing seen and no respose to calling. Ian thinks he may be on an 8/9 day cycle, in which case he is making his way back to Bricket Wood area. I have not received any more calls with sightings. I shall check out Bricket wood area Tuesday/Wednesday. Dont know where else at the moment. Thanks all for being out and about for me....judy

I think we are all at a loss with Teddy, I am pretty sure that a stake-out would get a response and quite a few questions as well, An early morning visit to the path walking up to the market would be a good idiea -- if he is there that is the route he must take to get to the market and if he were to go the other way there are a few beadie eyed screws who might spot him ........

Hi, Well no luck yesterday yet very encouraging he has been seen and responded to his name. I scented and put food down in the hope of keeping him there. Today, however, I received a call at 1730 to say Teddy had been seen in Love lane Kings Langley at 1530. Is he on the move and if so, is he on his way to Bricket Wood again??? I walked the tow path of the canal in kings langley up to and beyond the M25 bridge and also down Common Lane calling, hoping he might be in that wood again but no response. Will look around prison area and bovvy market tomorrow as it is market day and discarded food will be around...judy

Oh no, right place wrong time yet again, just like that day in Bricket Wood car park, we must have missed him by minutes. We went down that road but must have been in one of the other places when he was sighted. We will do another tour today but afraid we will be no help tomorrow as we are off to the DTA symposium.

TEDDY SIGHTED --- sighting at the Mount Prison Bovingdon 21:15 hrs today, a woman calling for him by name and he responded and showed himself, before going back into the wooded area to the right of the prison, the path there leads to Bovingdon market. Judy is up in the area now. scenting and putting food down, As this is the boundry of the prison any helpers going to the area may get a visit from the boys in blue.

We have just come in after touring Bovingdon for one hour, did all around the church area, Howard Agne and all the roads off Chesham road. See one of the posters that we had put up weeks ago, in the bottom corner of Church street by the footpath across the fields, had disappeared. Did not have one with us but next time we are there we will replace it. Sorry we could not stay any later.

Took dogs up to Kings Langley Woods this afternoon and scoured every lane of the woods. No sign of Teddy. However, his posters are still there and one has an addition done by I assume a secondary student who walks through the woods. There is a lovely cartoon person drawn on with marker patting Teddy on the head. Perhaps they were trying to give Teddy a guardian angel.

After Teddy goes under the M25 to the canal tow path, I presume he goes north, to say, Water Lane, goes up Toms Lane to Bedmond and then down through Serge Hill until he meets the A405 & Bricket Wood. If not, I don't quite get it without looking at a map.

She saw, what she thinks could have been, Teddy on Monday at about 2300 ish walking up and down her front path. Lives Howard Agne Close Bovingdon just off Chesham Rd, going toward the market but before prison turn off. I spent a few hours there last night left about 1.30 and only saw a fox....judy

Hi All, Nik -- the area follows the rivers and foot paths I think another evening in the pub with a map would help all, if i tried to describe it it would take me two hours to type. Jackie -Anne whats this looking for bra`s in hedges again ( nudist camp indeed lol ) Judys computer is down again for a couple of days as she has another virus, We both went to the carpark and the surounding woods for a look around, there is so much ground to cover and he could be hiding anywhere in it, travelling to areas at certain times to get what he needs on set days, I just can`t seem to see his patten as yet If the sightings in Bovingdon and Bricket wood are all of Teddy then why have there been no sightings between the areas? how is he getting from one place to the other without being seen? I have plotted a possiable route, BUT, there are several ways he could go from it. Lots of variations to look at. My next day off is the 28th unless everyone can meet on Sunday evening at the same pub as before the 25th ....... IAN

Thank you everyone for your help on this. I had another call re sighting on Sunday but did not receive message until much later as was left on answerphone. Sighting was in car park in Drop lane at 5.45pm dog came out barked-disappeared into bushes and re-emerged, barked and ran off again. Looking at map he is walking a straight line across from Bovvy to Brickett Wood. BIG area!! Will keep looking in all areas...Judy

Hi Judy, Had a good walk around the area and across the stepping stones . Passed the Fox and hounds and nearly got past the "Old Fox" If you are fond of discarding your clothes you are in the right area there is a famous nudist colony close by in Lye Lane?. See you.

We have been busy this weekend publicising doglost and the local dogs that are missing, so we were out when you got the sighting yesterday. Today we have been to a greyhound charity dog show and given out stacks of flyers of local dogs missing. We did a detour via Bricket Woods on the way home and walked in the woods but no sight of Teddy. We were pleased however to see that posters we put through the woods in the summer were still there and we see some more added in other places. We will try to walk the dogs there again tomorrow.

Hi everyone, thanks for going to area today Cher & jackie-anne. Ian and I set up another bar-b-q yesterday to entice him out. No show. Scenting and some of my clothing left for familiarity for him ,if it is him. Nik and partner also turned up with their bbq and pitched up further down the towpath. Was well after dark when we left and getting quite cold! Thanks so much NIK for turning up. Hope you didn't get too cold...judy

Hi Judy, This sighting sounds really promising. Obviously Teddy is not a veggie. as he seems to enjoy a sausage or two. We are going out this morning to Bricket Wood to have a look around the area. Hope to see you soon. Jackie

Glad another sighting reported. Any chance you could talk direct to the people who gave him the sausages to check the description? So we now have 2 main areas, barbecue and church. How many miles, as the dog trots, between one and the other?

I had a call from a lady who had been told by a group of people having a bar b q on two consecutive Wednesdays last that a dog like Teddy had approached nervously and eaten sausages thrown to it. SIGHTING.. Brickett Wood, Picnic area by river off Drop Lane. Ian and I had a Bar b q there on Thursday evening, in the hope that the cooking would entice him out. We spent some hours till after dark but no show. Posters are up...Judy

Mickeymygrey..sightings were Kings Langley 27th Aug. 12 midnight where Barnes lane junctions with Love lane. Next day 28th in Bovingdon 1005 Church lane and 1100 Church street. These roads are on a U and both connect with main road, opposite is a pond. There is also a path which connects the two via the church, which is slap bang in the middle. judy

Hi Nik, I have spoken to kids in the field ajoining the school but will continue each time I am there to get them all, or just to reinforce Teddy is still missing. I have seen the posters in Kings Langley and put some up myself. Have also walked the woods. Just need to be vigilant and keep peoples awareness raised I feel. Nothing more at this point, unfortunately. Just have to get the little monkey to show himself again and more frequently. Thanks all.....judy

We toured round this morning for a few hours keeping a tight circle round the church yard. Posters all still in place and there are seven shops and the library displaying 'Still Missing' ones. It occured to me that other than camping out to maintain a presence, we could do with some constant ears and eyes by the church. The access to the school playing field in School Lane is the place where all the kids congregate. How about talking to them ?

We repostered King's Langley area a couple weeks ago, so residents should be aware that he is still on the loose. Everyone (I think) in King's Langley knows about Teddie.

Hi all, Thank you for walking around this morning. I will be there later to check if food has gone. Ian, in his infinite wisdom, thinks he may be bounding between Kings Langley and Bovvy. Perhaps holed up somewhere in between,??? Where??? Anyones guess. I still haven't been able to meet up with the girl who took his photo on her mobile. Still trying though. Thanks again all...judy

Some of us were patrolling Bovingdon this morning but where were you Teddy? You didn't even show up for church!!!! Toledo, SShields and I took 3 whippets and spent over 2 hours walking the lanes and fields around the church. Nik appeared around one corner and we all stopped to discuss the pros and cons,never came up with any positive conclusion to where to find Teddy, so off we all went searching again. As Teddy had not attended church we thought maybe he was caught up in the cricket hype and so we drove off up the road by the well to the cricket pitch but rain must have stopped play there too as it was deserted. We took another walk around the area there but nothing.

Hi all, 'tis me and my pc is up and running, at long last. Thank you all for your messages and help. I was in Bovingdon very early this am and stayed for quite a few hours. Scenting with avengance around the area of the church where he was seen. There is a path that runs right through the church grounds from Church Street to Church lane. He was seen in both areas and it is opposite the pond. He may well be going there for water. Spoke to a man in the church who is arranging for an announcement at the service in the morning and will put up poster inside also. I found a nice hidy hole nearby so have really put my scent down. Fingers crossed now that I can home him in to that area. I will be back tomorrow morning. Candy and Bugs -- I completely agree and endorse your statements about the HP team. They are completely committed enthusiastic and very supportive. I don't know what I would have done without them. So a very BIG thankyou to all of you.....judy

Hi all, Judy and i put up around 15 or 16 posters around the areas that Teddy had bee sighted and today we decided to stake out the area, I was there from 9 ish to around 1 ish and Judy was there until around 3 ish, Teddy was a no show. The bad bit about it was that around 10 of the posters had been removed, saw one of them floating in the local pond. The landlord in the Bull pub will be telling all his locals to keep and eye out as well as displaying a poster, The half way house also has Teddy poster in a prominant position. Judys computer is still gubbed, so Jax and I will be typing the messages as we get more information...... IAN

Further to sighting of last Sunday in Church Lane, Bovingdon - Judy has received telephone call with second sighting Church Street at 11.00 am. These two sightings are one hour apart, so Judy will be there during the same times in the hope that he returns. The lady with the 2nd sighting almost put a rope on him before he ran away!

After work took the dogs for a walk in the woods in Kings Langley and around the cricket pitch. New updated posters of Teddy looked down from many trees thanks to Whippet and Toledo) but no sign of the lad himself. No too many walkers about but the ones I did speak to were amazed that he was still at large and others said they has never heard of dogs being stolen or going missing. Spread the word about Dog Lost and hopefully a few more people will be looking in. Good Luck Judy with the search. Thanks for bringing Shenley round I really wish I could have kept him but unfortunately work gets in the way and my two "boys" would object.

Hi All, Judy and i called it a day at around 2 A.M. this morning, As i have said to Judy, I think that recapturing Teddy will mean having to be in the right place at the right time for both him and the searchers. The last positive sighting we had the weather was very hot, is this a trend for Teddy searching for water ? We will be bacvk out this evening....IAN

Hi all, Ian and I have spent a good few hours trying to get Shenley to safety today. All of Ian's contacts were full to overflowing. We had to persuade NAWT to take him which they did, with the proviso that if he is moved on to Battersea , to return him to Ian if NOT rehomed. He will then be able to get his contacts to help. On the Teddy front, the young girl who took the photo is still not back at home so I am unable to look at it. However, as Teddy is still up and running and has not been positively sited for some weeks, he is obviously very clever now at not being spotted. Ian, in his infinite wisdom, has some theories and places to investigate in Bovingdon, which we shall be doing tonight after dark. That is the time Teddy will be on the move we hope and not during daylight hours. We will also be postering. Fingers crossed now that this is the beginning of the end of the search....judy

We went to Bovingdon yesterday afternoon and put up 6 posters, unfortunately our ink ran out so could not do more. We looked around the area but saw no Teddy or Judy. Today we had a very early start to a dog show and we have just arrived home hoping to see some positive news? What happened about the pic on the mobile? Take it you do not need anymore help today as there is no request.

Sorry everyone, incorrect info in previous posting, the lurcher was not found either in hemel or anyone else. Someone got muddled up re Shenley. I spoke to ARC rescue this morning. So 2 lurchers and a patterdale could be anyway though probably around Herts. I have sent their details to Jayne to put up.

Can all the Teddy gang please look out for a black Patterdale bitch and a lurcher (no description yet) in Hemel area! One of the stolen lurchers from ARC appears to have turned up in Hemel and been caught - it must have gone looking for Ian hehe but he wasn't there as he was taking Shenley to Bishops Stortford to be looked at. Seriously, Hemel is too far for it to have travelled so it must have been dumped and there is a good chance therefore that the 2 missing ones are around Hemel.

A SECOND Sighting of Teddy. Judy had a call this pm. Sighting at midnight last night. Good description of Teddy chasing a Muntjac deer in Kings Langley area. He then disappeared into BARNES LANE. Quick overland route to Bovingdon. A young girl took his picture on her mobile phone. Judy will see it tomorrow to confirm if Teddy or not. Met Shenley this morning. He is lovely! Nice naming him after a road but it's a good job the poor little bugger wasn't found in Verulamium Way.

The updated posters are at the entrances to the woods at Kings Langley and by the school and the carpark where we all parked. We also put one on the noticeboard at Adeyfield and one at the beginning of the Nicky Line in Midland Road, that is as far as we got as we had to go off and take down some Lewy posters.

Hi All, have just read all of this at work. I agree many heads better than one. Nik is getting press coverage in local papers on Teddy (amongst others) so raising awareness that Teddy is still out there and hopefully whoever has him will become aware and phone me or a neighbour will see him. NIK thank you so much for that. Whippet & Toledo thank you for your imput last night and for updating the posters and distributing them. Jackie-anne always wise words, thank you. Puppy dog I NEED your pc again..... Ian thank you for being there and for your expertise...judy

Hi All, I agree with Whippet the meeting in the three horse shoes went well, thank you to Nik,Judy, Jackie-Anne, phylis, and Pat And to Stuart from the BBC who came along to research a possiable story line for a documentry. Due to the lack of sightings on Teddy A new poster has been actioned by Phylis (thanks) this will be going up in the areas where Teddy has already been spotted, hopefully this will make local people keep their eyes open and keep the hunt alive for Teddy. There is a feeling that Teddy may have been taken in. I would like to see a meeting like last nights one every month or so, this will help others and give group support to those with the missing. I have said so many times WORK AS A TEAM AND WIN AS A TEAM. As some wise person once said "two heads are better than one" three, four and five, are even better... We will all keep going on the search for Teddy.

Ian here, and yes Judy is here as well !!!! Judy recieved a phone call today telling her about a dead dog around Bricket wood, we narrowed the location and went for a look, we found not one dog but two, both dead, one is a german shepherd, the other wraped in plastic i could not identify. I telephoned the local police who have informed me that the will contact enviromental services and the local dog warden with the exact location. both dogs will be scaned. This was not a pleasant thing to find. TEDDY is still out there or someone has taken him in. The still missing posters would be a great idiea especially for repostering old areas. It also shows that if someone has taken a dog in from the missing list then the hunt is still on. To all those with missing friends DO NOT GIVE UP we do find the ones we care for....... IAN

We've postered all the Munden estate from Drop Lane, to School Lane and Ver-Colne Valley walk boundaries as far as Munden House. I'll go back tomorrow at the Garston end and do up to the house. Postered all of School Lane from Bricket Wood to Old Fox pub. Went to Riding School/stables and animal feed firm too. Ideal doggie territory and another ford too. Hard work because it's all on foot, but Chloe was a very happy hound !!

South of Drop Lane the river enters the Munden Estate. From memory the occupiers of Munden House are reclusive, but estate itself is popular with dog walkers. It is only really accessible from the Bricket Wood (north side) and not from Garston (south). We are about to poster southwards from where you were last night. I can totally see the logic of Harefield, Aquadrome, Pre Hotel and then back to Drop Lane. Never occurred to me to look at the relationship of the Pre to Harefield. Nik

Jackie we don't think that Bricket Wood is a bit far out. It is just up the river Ver from where he was with the St Albans sightings. Toledo and I already went out there twice and searched and along the river walk we postered. Just this week we also went along by that restaurant looking. Sorry we are at a dog show tomorrow but if help still needed on Monday let us know

Using Ians computer. Have just got in from postering Drop Lane Bricketts Wood. River colne & ver converge. There is a possibility that Teddy has followed the river from the Pre hotel at St Albans this is the next sighting of him. He could be following the river Colne or Ver maybe following the scent of the rivers. Both of these rivers pass where my first sighting of him was at Rickamansworth Aquadrome Downside, whilst Ian and I were postering in Drop lane, went to house where there is a welsh collie similar to Teddy. It is possibe that this sighting is a shadow although Ian spoke to the owner of the dog. Who does NOT think that his dog got out today...judy & Ian

Just heard from Judy her PC has gone down. Possible sighting at Bricket Wood. Lady who phoned Judy has just phoned back apparently after spotting "Teddy" she doubled back in the car and saw this dog going into a house. I have advised Judy to contact person and ask her to enquire at the house. Am of the opinion that Bricket Wood is a bit far but who knows! Will post with further news.Do we have helpers in that area?

The last sighting of Teddy was three weeks ago tomorrow. What if he has moved on? If someone spotted him, they may not know whom to phone. Shouldn't we be moving our postering futher afield in a wide circle around the area in order to make people award just in case?

TEDDY is proving to be very illusive, the sightings are spradic and normally a week or two apart, there has been no sighting for a couple of weeks so we should be due another one soon, then we will know where to look and poster. Myself and everyone else wants to see this loverly old boy back with Judy, as everyone is saying the main problem is finding where to look. NEVER GIVE UP even if we have to win by attrition.... IAN

Thanks Dee. Maybe the posters should say spotted in Kings Langley, Bovingdon, Hemel & St Albans areas. Stilling missing is good. People always assume that it it's been a long time, a dog must have been found. Nik

Well... we find that posters, particularly if put in plastic sleeves, have a long "shelf life" outside - if they haven't been ripped down. I still find missing Zoey posters, and she went missing in Sept 04 and was found ten days later! Perhaps we need to change to STILL MISSING... and put a current date on prominently so people realise the poster is new... with the last sighting as well.

Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

2005-08-17 23:16 Unknown

My gut feeling would be to re-poster all the areas where there were sightings. Posters will either be worn out, ripped down or out of date. (On a slightly different note I'd like to see the durability of my different poster types !!) Perhaps we should divide the areas up into zones. I'm inclined to say that although Teddy was not actually spotted on the Nicky Line, some sightings were quite close and more importantly it intersects with loads of footpaths and has dog walkers, horse riders and cyclists. All this is, of course, the perspective of a communication person rather than a dog expert !!! Perhaps someone at DogLost could give us some advice. Nik

Seems like we are all thinking the same about a blitz on postering. We concentrated on Kings Langley for so long and spoke to so many people and we put flyers through lots of doors, don't you think if anyone had Teddy they must have known we were looking?? Boxmoor you seemed to have a feel for Judy but only the one sighting on the road there? The Pre and St Albans produced a couple of sightings and he could have moved on Harpenden way or further up the river the opposite way.Then finally the Adeyfield sighting by that lady, I talked to her for ages and she was very positive in her sighting and she had collies for years so she knew one when she saw one. I was just not too sure about the colouring though but then Judy you spoke to those boys who had seen him the same day and described Teddy so well. So where do we poster, guess we all wish we knew the answer for sure. Maybe doglost could update the poster to Nik's suggestion and we will all get out there postering once you decide where Judy.

Has anyone heard from Jackie - Anne, I don`t think that Teddy will be in the center of town hiding in plain view, although he might be comming in at night looking for the scraps and dumped food. might be worth a late night plotted up somewhere. chat soon -- IAN

Judy, The Marlowes is the main shopping street which leads from the magic roundabout. The end is blocked off for development, so you will need to follow signs for town centre parking. The bandstand is in the precinct area and very near to the Marlowes Centre shopping Mall. Alternatively I can show you on Friday afternoon. Nik

Judy, interesting that you were drawn back to the Pre area. We have to go out the other side of St Albans today so on the way home we will poster further along the River Ver from St Albans. If that was Teddy at the Pre and then by the lake in St Albans he could have moved up the riverside, so posters there will do no harm.

Walked and postered from The Midland to the edge of the Industrial area. (Quite the most revolting bit of railway line we have ever walked and a discerning Teddy would probably give this a very wide berth) Drove round Adeyfield afterwards. Will get out to rest as soon as I can.

Hi Judy Toledo and I went out at 9.30 and searched around the area again, we staked out the place where the collie was seen drinking but come 11am time a man started mowing the grass right by the spot so no way would a nervous dog go back there. Do you remember where later in the evening Ian turned up? Well we were in that area when over the hill a dog appeared as it got nearer we could determine it was a collie and great deduction it cocked it's leg so we knew it was male!!! We got closer and could see the dog had a black face with a white muzzle and a small blaze which went up centre of his face, so it was not Teddy. Before we could do anything else he went off round some trees and by the time we got there he had totally disappeared. However we wonder if this is the dog that has been sighted? who knows?

The advice at the moment seems to be poster, poster poster. Let's take a strategic approach by going out from the Box Lane/Bury Wood/golf course area. With all this rain we'll probably need to renew existing ones too. I'll do Stoney Lane/Church Lane, Felden Lane, Longcroft Lane, Flaunden Lane and Bulstrode Lane. I'll be doing all footpath/road intersections.

Nik and I did Bury wood and along bridle path with paddocks adjoining. Excellent hiding places for Teddy.Also bridle path becomes a lane and goes down into Bovingdon near fish and chip shop! Interesting, will investigate much more now in that area on daily basis until further sightings. Thanks all for help and messages....IAN I am about to pm you with interesting info...judy

Box lane, where Teddy has been sighted connects Bovingdon with Boxmoor. Boxmoor is just by Hemel Hempstead. Bovingdon is near Chesham. Box lane has two woods, one called Bury wood and one called Hay wood. Both have golf courses. Boxwood golf course goes up and over to a village called Felden. Post code HP Also, at the bottom of Box lane at Boxmoor is the Grand Union canal. I will find out the rest of the post code for you, and road numbers if that helps...judy

Please can people directly involved in the search give us outsiders location of Box Wood, golf courses and Felden which doesn't seem to be on my map, thanks. I am crossposting to others and need to have a better idea of what I am talking about. Will chase these places up on internet maps but nearest towns/villages, postcodes etc would make this a lot easier for me. Thanks :-)

Thanks Nik, Bury wood needs serious investigation now, especially as it borders a golf course. Given its close proximity to two sightings and will be familiar terrain for teddy. We used to walk in the woods or on the golf course which ajoins it!! Could be a winner this one. I will be there tomorrow in ernest....judy

Did a much more thorough return to Bury Wood. All entrances now postered and walked down through the end of the golf course to Box Lane. Yes the trees are tall and thin - mostly silver birches. Judy, will return with camera tomorrow and take pics for your friend to see. Doug much more spooked than me. Men !!!

Hi Judy, Toledo and I spent an hour walking the bridlepath down from Felden alongside the golf course. We checked the undergrowth and bushes all the way, no signs of Teddy. As you know we are off the dog trail for a week now and we are hoping to come back to some good news. Good luck and take care.

Hi everyone, well I think it would be worth covering box lane, felden and the golf courses in case Teddy is circling. I had a call from a lady today who saw what she thought could be Teddy TWO WEEKS AGO walking down the middle of the road in Felden. Didn't like to phone me in case she was wrong. Apparently she has let everone know including builders working on a house nearby...heres hoping that is what he's doing...judy

Met up with Whippet & co. and had a good look around. No actual sighting unfortunately, by the river, however, paw prints, quite fresh Teddys size with pointed claw marks. Now as this elusive butterfly has been cross country his claws will not have worn down. Pilchards served on large green leaf (I found it) salad. Vacuum cleaner contents diluted, thought I would have a change, give him a real home from home. Thank you to all who have been out scouting. It really does mean a lot to me...judy

Report from Cher on her walk this afternoon: "we got to the lakes at 3.15 and spent all afternoon there. We searched in the undergrowth in the secluded bits of the riverbank where people rarely go and looked in the shady bits in the cathedral grounds. We asked everyone we met to keep a look out and pointed out his posters on the trees. We alerted the people in the cafe and the pub but nobody had seen him. I talked to the traffic wardens and the builders who all agreed to keep an eye out. I also spoke to all the joggers who use the park regularly so if he is there he should be found. Most of the dog owners said that they had read the posters and were already watching out for him and a lot of them walk their dogs in the evenings when it is quiet."

Yes, previous people who have seen Teddy and tried to catch him (weeks ago) say he is frightened. One man did feed him but he was very nervous and then walked away. May be able to entice him toward you with food. Worth a try. Thanks all for being there...judy

My net friend Cher and her steady old rottie girl were there at 8 pm last night. Teddy must have appeared soon after she left. She did ask everyone she met if they had seen him, so has got a lot of evening walkers recruited. Nice one, toledo - 40 pairs of sharp little eyes very welcome.

Were looking in area of last sighting when received a call with possible new sighting at approx 2130 near the lake and river st.albans where I was on Sunday. Luckily, only minutes away. It was the place I was drawn to then, for some reason. So Scenting and PILCHARDS down. Fingers crossed. He really is the elusive butterfly...back tomorrow..judy

I found the lake in a HUGE park. Really quite beautiful. The river does run along the side but doesn't feed the lake. Plenty of water holes and cover for him if he is there. Owl thank your friend for me, (dont know her/his name) I have put up posters within the park area. Patsone.. At the end of Redbourn Rd. Turn RIGHT at roundabout, then LEFT at lights. (Immediately opposite the roman amphitheatre entrance) Follow the road to the right and hit the car park. Walk straight ahead and hey presto, the lake. Further on, in a more natural area, is the river. Lots of people there. Kizzy thank you.Whippet..I have not contacted the dog warden at St albans, apparently they patrol this park area also. So should make contact with her/him and send a poster to them...long hot day, early night I think....judy

My net-friend said she was going to the lakes this evening to have a good look round, hoping that Teddy might start moving when it gets cooler. She is also going to a waffle shop in the area, thinking Teddy might go nosing round somewhere like that looking for food. I expect she and her rottie are having a walk round there now. She has Judy's number if she sees anything.

Judy, We went to the Chiltern Rescue dog show and distributed flyers and spoke to everyone there. We also visited the RSPCA kennels.They were not a lot of help except they gave us the numbers of some dog wardens. Have you contacted the wardens at St Albans and Watford? If not we have the details. We put a poster up in the pets supermarket on the outskirts of St Albans lots of people go there.

Patsone, thank you so much. I was advised to look at the lakes.In an area called St. Michaels. I dont think Teddy will move far in this heat and will stay by water. The river Ver runs at the back of the hotel (Pre) and on the map appears to feed the lakes. Go over roundabout at end of Redbourn Rd. A5l83 there is a right turn (looks like small lane) appears to run straight to the lakes. The sighting mentioned the A1081 which is very close. He could be hold up around that area. I am going to scent there and HOPE. Nothing more we can do unless I get another sighting....judy

Right now you seem to be one step ahead of teddy get your scents out there so we can keep him from moving on. I'm pretty sure you'll want to do the urine scenting yourself - unless the other volunteers are brave enough to want to help you there!! - but lets get your vacuum cleaner contents diluted and into a few bottles you can give out to those who are able to look ahead of teddy's trail. If we can get him to stay in the same place we have far more chance of getting him caught!

Sorry Judy I can only pass on what I have when I get it: I'm just a volunteer and I was out doing "normal" undoggy stuff... I rang through the sighting as soon as it came to me... Ian was on nights - hence the reason he wasn't immediately available - and I couldn't get your phone number as I wasn't glued to my computer at the time like I am most days... I was hoping you'd be able to rush out the minute the dog was spotted as we got the information that the spotter was trying unsuccessfully to catch it... however we still have no confirmation it was teddy - it was described as a collie x. Hoping it was Teddy though and he's in sight of you soon - if it was him it sounds like no-one else but you will be able to get near anyhow. xxxx

Toledo and I went rushing to Cavendish school, searched field all around and then the woods by Sunnyhill. Going through woods calling and met up with Jackie. Toledo and I saw a collie and went running like mad only to get there and see the dog on a long lead and a man around the corner, dog had a all white face so not Teddy. We gave posters to everyone we saw. Off to rendevouz with Patsone and Nik but will go back later.

Walked till I dropped. Put posters into pubs and telegraph poles. Need more though. Sat by the old mill house, not dangerous, lovely little pond, easy access via level ground. Lots of water in the area so hope he stays there during this heatwave. Spoke to lots of house holders, which was useful and very encouraging. They were so kind. Ian showed me around to familiarise me with the area. LINDYLOU, click on PM I have sent you some messages.Patsone, thank you SO much. Ian thinks, and I have to agree, he is heading north-east. My back garden faces that way. He is trying to find it, Totally confused, poor little darling. But we are getting close now. Ian has mentioned THE TRAP!!! If we can just keep him in that area.

Sorry, only just back from work again. Someone should stake out Roundwood Halt which is the last bit of the Nicky line before it joins the mainline and where Teddy would have to join the road . From memory it's quite wooded and I think it sports a carved wooden sign. Don't foget that there's another disused line that goes through Harpenden (Hatfield - Leighton Buzzard). It runs on the other side of the main road. Nik

do you think Teddy is heading somewhere he used to know or is his internal compass senile? maybe confused. I hope he is all right in this heat. Bit worried about the old mill, could one of you stake it out it sounds dangerous. Come on old boy show yourself so you can get home to your mum.

HI ALL, I have just spoken to Judy and will meet with her in about an hour, Teddy appears to be headding north, anyone in HARPENDEN, need some posters up in that area, for the first time we can get in front of him.. Teddy will not be moving fast in this heat, and he will need water, there are several water courses in the area he has moved to, small rivers and even an old mill house. VAST open area to cover and teddy is still on the move... IAN

Do you have any old blankets, toys, that have his scent and the scent of home on them. If so cut them up and scatter around where you think he might be. Or some of your worn clothing. A dog will often sit and sniff old scents for hours. Putting water and some food next to it, perhaps even a chew bone can keep them in that area after they have found a spot with their own scent on it. Good luck. Linda

No that is the place whippet. It is an estate in the fullest sense of the wordl I have forgotton it's name. It is where I spoke to the lady in the first cottage you parked across her drive, remember. Also, where you picked me up along the road, opposite was a detached cottage next to a field. There were small tracks, possibly made by a dog! I put some pilchards down. The lady who lives in that house is going to look, as is the ranger who covers the whole estate! ....judy

Hi, everyone. Thank you all so much for the help that has been going on since I have been out. Not long home. What a beautiful neck of the woods to be in. My Teddy knows how to pick a good spot. Spoke to lots of people on the estate off Redbourne Rd, including the Ranger, he was magnificant. Obviously have not got Teddy but have seen some good areas to look at and start scenting! At least it was a good positive sighting and many eyes are now aware. I am meeting with Ian tomorrow, he is going to suffer sleep deprivation for this one!! god love him. nighty night..judy

Please can you send or email me a map of your area, also surrounding areas. justine.marlowe@tiscali.co.uk When dogs get scared they run in a straight line, also he will nomatter what find fresh water. Look at an area that has fresh water! He could be near marshes, a duck pond or a lake. Does he eat dry food or tinned food? Please let me know. Justine

Now I wish I had not told you about that dog and had rung them myself but at the time I thought they would ask things like the chip number etc and I would not know. It seemed unlikely Teddy would be in Birmingham but he is somewhere and we need to follow all leads however slim. Maybe the heat had got to the man at the home but no excuse he should be more sensitive and tactful. Sounds like Sherlock and Watson are on the case, so hang in there Judy and they will find out for you. Take care and remember we have not given up. I have not walked so far for years buy hey it is good for me.

Watson, thank you so much. I do understand that they have to protect the dogs and that they must be very busy. I did offer him information only the owner would have like his health problems, his chip number, but he only appeared to be interested in telling me he would be rehomed in 8 days. If the scan revealed his chip they would write to me. WRITE- dear god we have them chipped for fast identification and response, the chip companies have all our details. This chap, I think must be new or needs an input in brushing up his communication skills. He pushed all my buttons, and that is not easy. I did have a good sob, may have done me good...judy

Im am so sorry you felt you got a negative response from Birmingham Dogs Home, I deal with them on a daily basis and have never before had any problems, actually they bend the rules to try and reunite owners with their missings dogs. However, saying this, Birmingham Dogs Homes have what we call "numpties" who try to claim a dog on its first 7 days, they gain a lot of information by watching this and other rescue sites. Hence why the information is very slim, certain details are omitted to protect the dogs in their care. What I will do tomorrow, is lift the picture of Teddy and email it to them for verification. Hope thats Ok. If you would like me to go there, contact Jayne for my number.

Thanks Whippet. He was so full of himself, I dont know whether he may have meant another dog had no teeth. He gave me a deluge of dogs that arrived today in 1.5 seconds. So I think I need to go and look. If its him and he is there for 8 days he will be rehomed!!! I know he is chipped but all these awful doubts creep in. And with a pratt like that at the helm, god help the dogs. Judy

Judy, so sorry for how you were treated, people like that should not be working in a dogs home. I see that home puts lost of founds on site, why do it if they do not want to help? The teeth missing makes you think it cannot be Teddy. Like I said it was only clutching at straws but no small chance can be left, we have to investigate everything. We will continue to look and any further sighting just shout we will be there.

Whippet, thanks for the info regarding collie cross dog tri-colour posted as found today at and presumably by dogs home birmingham. I have just phoned them. The guy was VERY unhelpful when I mentioned it was on this sight!!!! It was not until I said I was the OWNER 3-4 times that he started to be cooperative. Even then I couldn't glean much info from him. I hope this has not been posted as a hoax. (does that happen)? They do have a collie x dog in today but no teeth! Teddy had all his dentures in! Does anyone else have experience of this dogs home. Can anyone in B5 area go and have a look for me please. I can email a photo if necessary although the poster photo is good. He is as you all know, chipped, but this guy would not even let me tell him the chip number. This place is in Bartholomew Street, Digberth, Birmingham B5.5QS I could not believe the reception this guy gave me. He should have large RED peaked gold braided cap with " I very important person despite being cr..p" ... Nik can meet up with you tonight, jackie, fancy a walk DOWN he golf course from Feldon to box lane?? Drive up, having left car at botton. What do you think...Judy

Your young man is being very elusive at the moment!!Hope hes home soon. love Daisyxx

Thanks, Kizzy. And thanks jackie and Ian for yesterday evening. A little light relief works wonders. Whippet, I think it best to stop feeding Teddy at the Woods, does not appear to be there. Will have to wait now for another sighting of elusive baby dog! With this hot weather I dont expect him to venture out anywhere, he will be tucked up somewhere keeping cool I expect. I shall be out this evening later on when the Sun is going down....Judy

Justine, Yes he is castrated so no interest in the ladies anymore. I have not moved house since I have had him. I was at a friends house. I took him into the kitchen to show him his water bowl and walked back out into the garden. I know exactly what he has done. He looked up when he had finished and instead of going into the garden and seeing me (he sticks to me like a limpet) he walked into the house and the front door was open, unbeknown to me. When he saw that and not seeing me, he walked out and would have looked up and down the pavement, not seen me and panicked. He would have started to run to find me. It was only 10 minutes before I missed him. I just dont know how I didnt find him. He must have run really fast. When I got home I really expected him to be sitting on the doorstep but alas I was wrong. I have been looking everyday since. The sightings have been useful but he always seems to be that much ahead of me. Thank you for your concern. This site has been an absolute godsend to me and the many thousands of others who now use it.....and of couse the helpers who give their time and energy they will never know how much that means...Judy

Hi, not too sure what to say, he has been gone a while now.Is Teddy castrated? Do you think he has picked up a female scent?How long have you lived at this address, have you moved in the last 12 months, the reason I ask this is if he has picked up on a scent then he may well of become confussed and got lost. I wish you loads of luck, but feel you will get him home when he is ready, hes most likely trying to find his way home right now. Justine, Alfie stolen yorkie may 19th last year.

Rucklers/Barnes Lane. Walked, drove, waited, called etc but sadly nothing to report. Can do the same tomorrow, but happy to go anywhere else. Might be useful if I borrowed something of Teddy's - we might as well put Chloe's nose to use, although she will be with her granny on Tues & Wed.

Walked the usual woods today and went down to the bottom of Vicarage Lane where there is a butchers shop, (I take it Teddy is not vegetarian) and there were bins behind the shops but on reflection the bins were quite tall. Spoke to dog walkers everyone aware and on alert. Good turnout yesterday just a pity guest of honour did not make an appearance. If you want me give me a ring am available for a walk later. Jackie.

Hi, A very big thank you to all who were able to come and search. It really does give me a boost when I see a turnout like that. I continued looking around Rucklers Lane and surrounding areas. The scouts were marvellous, happy to take posters and off they went searching. I went back to the woods to remove evidence of barby! Just home now.

Hi All, as yet no luck, a good turn out, 10 of us worked in pairs around the area, each taking a little segment hoping that TEDDY would pass one of us, We even had a barbi on the go ( very tasty ) --- after mid afternoon snacks and refreshment, all went off looking again but still no TEDDY --- we will keep at it, --- IAN

Hi All, looking forward to meeting up with everyone at around 13:30 hrs today, I hope that TEDDY is going to stick to what appears to be his routine, At worst it will show a solidarity and support to those with the missing, it renews your belief in human nature to know that so many share and understand the emotions that someone else is suffering. Patience and determination will win through. C U ALL AT 13:30 ..... IAN

Just back from an early morning walk taking in the sights of Kings Langley on the look out for Bobby and Teddy. Good show of posters of the missing boys but unfortunately no sightings. Made my way up to K.L. common and saw a lady at the little stable attending to her horses. Stopped and had a word with her about Teddy and other missing dogs. She was very sympathetic and said she was aware that Teddy was missing ( who wouldn't be with all those posters you have put up) but unfortunately she had not seen him We discussed dog and horse theft and she attributed it to a certain section of people whom she referred to as the "Do As You Likeees" I wonder who she meant? Hopefully will see you later have to attend to the pressing matter of which goes where in my wheelie bin. Jackie.

Did footpath between Featherbed Lane and Ruckers Lane including campsite. Postered footpath/road intersections. There is a CCTV camera trained on footpath - presumably Phasel Wood Scout camp. Check tapes would make a good deskjob for someone. Later travelled round the lanes. 1.30pm will be difficult, but will try best to swap fete duties.

He also suggested a bar-b-q on the common - the smell of delicious cooking to entice him out. Have just bought disposable barby lamb kebabs and garlic bread!! Ian, I drove up the lanes again and behold--the scout camp is full of boys waling and laughing-food-methinks. Might attract baby dog up there tonight?? See you all tomorrow...Judy

Have just returned from a walk on Boxmoor Golf course with my dogs looking for Teddy but nothing only a little fox. I hope I have not given offence with some of my postings which might sound a little frivalous. I know that behind every red entry is a broken hearted owner and a bewildered and unhappy pet whose world has suddenly crashed about him. I would glady apply the same time and energy, and I am sure that goes for all of us, to the dog missing in HP22 but apart from putting up and handing out posters and keeping my eyes and ears open I really do not know what else to do. Even St Anthony seems to be on holiday.

Have just chatted to Ian , he thought Teddy had been at the little stable as a water bucket had been knocked over and fur was on some wire. Sorry to have told him it was Chloe, Niks dog when she was sniffing around. Thanks for tonight, Whippet and Jackie-Anne for popping over. Thankyou Nik for your help and letting chloe have a sniff around.I drove down the lane where the little stable is because a number of horse boxes drove by 4/5, went off to investigate as doggies like horses. Found 3 seperate stables. One with horses in. Spoke to all owners and gave them posters. They were very kind and will look out for him. Ian has suggested that if no sighting of Teddy tomorrow or Friday, then he is due in on Saturday. He would like people there at strategic points to observe the arrival, hopefully of Teddy. About 2pm anyone able to oblige please. I can probably mobilise some of my friends but need to check...judy

Checked on all the Chipperfield, Chandlers Cross and canal Teddy (and Bobby) doglost posters and they're all down. In the places where there was a doglost poster and one from Judy, Judy's remained. I am thinking that the doglost ones are being seen as commercial flyposting.

May be a Teddy hidy hole. Will keep an eye on it. It is at the bottom of love lane turn left immediately before it becomes common lane, in front of small green. Ian, god bless him bought and put down Teddies dinner tonight. Lancashire hotpot!! Nik is your hound good at scenting like Ians -dora? I will be there after 2pm from now on as back to work tomorrow.

Hi All, thanks for your efforts. I am about to return now and keep looking. I went along the road to Felden this afternoon and found myself at the top of boxmoor golf course. I saw traffic driving through middle of course so went off to investigate. The lane leads to some houses but also a camp site for Boys Brigade. Had a chat to some employees there and they will put up posters within the properties and get the boys to keep their eyes open. IAN do you want Teddys blanket??

Hi all, Yes Judy it is possiable that Teddy went the way that you are suggesting, BUT, the canal is postered and we have had no siightings at the canal, the canal is heavily used by walkers / dog walkers / cyclists / boats and fishermen. The shenly manor golf course has a couple of " water hazzards " for the golfers. Where Teddys last sighting was is only 350yds from the canal, where we turned to go to the cricket ground at the cross roads -- opposite and about 150yds away is the canal, Teddy is not far from water, the rain last night would have helped him, I have a few things to do this morning and i will spend the afternoon looking around.. IAN

Ian, I had a thought. If Teddy was seen on Friday running down box lane in direction of Hemel, and the next day in the woods, Could he be heading for the moor and canal to track along up to Kings langley? Rather than over the fields and golf courses. I saw no evidence of water on the golf course or in the woods. On his way up from canal between common rd,. and vicarage lane there is a fish & chip shop! Judy

Ian,thanks for going out again. I went back to the woods this evening, put down the food. Stayed until dark, calling+++ but no response. After we parted this morning I went to Boxmoor golf course and had a walk around. Spoke to a number of dog walkers who go there daily and gave them posters so more EYES looking. judy

Thanks whippet. I will be there first thing and then returning a couple of times more in the day. Let me know what sort of time would suit you. Ring me on my mobile.Vicarage rd. is directly opposite the woods as you come out onto the common. It runs parallel with the road you were in by the school. I will be feeding him on the common side of the wood not the school side. That is where Pandora picked up a scent!!

Hi Judy We have been up to the woods this evening with 2 dogs and walked for an hour but no sightings. Are we in the right woods? We go up Common Road and there is a school on the right with a short drive and gates, outside is a notice board where you have put a poster. We searched the woods the school side and those across the road where you can walk through to the cricket pitch. We need to get the map out and check for Vicarage Road. We can help when you go back to work, maybe I should meet up with you tomorrow and see where you are putting the food?

Hi all, Many thanks to Ian for this morning. I feel quite uplifted now. I am going to put Teddys food down in the woods at Kings Langley, Vicarage Rd., up the top is a common, cannot miss it. I will put it close to where he has been sighted. I will put it down at 9.30 this evening. It will be fairly close to the primary school at the back end as this is what may be drawing him out during the day, so hopefully will keep him there. Whippet, I have scented quite a bit around the golf course where we first met, Boxmoor, opposite the clubhouse. Also gave posters to and chatted with dog walkers there.I will have problems getting breakfast over early mornings when I return to work on Wednesday. Can anyone help me out please? Judy

Hi all, I met up with Judy this morning, and we have had a bit of a wander around. The area where Teddy is hiding is nearly the same as where Dora was and it really is like looking for a needle in a haystack, one of us just has to be lucky and be in the right place at the right time, or a positive sighting and a rush to the area, there are three golf courses in the area, and the rest is farm land, leading to housing, we have to find a closer area and feed Teddy there, as soon as Teddy knows there will be regular food we will be able to reunite him with Judy. I will be out again this evening. IAN

Janye I think Nik is right. Beaconsfield is a red herring and misleading Sightings on Thursday 30.6.05 at Box lane,BOXMOOR/BOVINGDON and Friday 1.7.05 at KINGS LANGLEY common/woods would be more accurate on posters from web site. My own posters I have updated as and when necessary. Daisy, thank you so much for your call and support and encouragement. - Judy

Could Teddy's poster be updated to reflect Kings Langley/Bovingdon ? I don't think the Beaconsfield bit provides motivation for locals.

WHIPPET thanks for that. I was there at 0600 just home now. Travelling down to fine art now, 20 mins providing M25 ok. I have postered the other side of the road now. The two sightings have been around 3pm on the or around the path that leads to the primary school. We didn't bump into each other! NIK. thank you for putting up posters, there are some in Chipperfield. Last w/e a dog walker took some also up to Berhamstead for me. The canal will be great. Many thanks everyone. I meet up with Ian tomorrow and Pandora, god bless her (& him). Lets see what that brings up? Have kept my eyes peeled for Bobby.

Whippet thank you for looking today and putting posters around. Much appreciated. I had just met up with jackie-anne when I received a call about a sighting at 3pm today at Kings Langley common/woods. This is the second call for that area and not too far as the crow flies from Box lane. I am therefore going to concentrate my efforts there. Posters are already in place. Food is down and scenting with avengeance has commenced. A very big thank you to Jackie Anne for the hours she spent with me today and for her support. She is SO positive and has much inner knowledge!

Teddy's mum - go back to the area of the last sighting and lay scents - take your urine and spread it in the area... Teddy will recognise it and, hopefully, hang around and wait for you to come and find him. It works, honestly! Also if that isn't enough (start drinking lots of water!!) take your vaccum cleaner bag contents and dilute with water - spread that too.

Visited Beaconsfield again this pm. Two seperate sets of dog walkers think sighting was of local dog who lives by the green and looks very much like Teddy. Back to the drawing board. Last positive sightings would be Chess valley-Chenies Sunday 19th june and Kings Langley common/woods Thursday 23rd June. Could he possibly be following grand union canal? I am his mum and I want to thank you all for caring and helping me at this incredibly stressful time.

Have spoken to Bucks Council again as now confirmed that sighting was St Michaels Green in Beaconsfield. This would still be bin collections on Monday. I understand the two main drags are Penn Road and Station Road. Apparently (and I do not know the area) on Penn Road there is a Waitrose with a police station nearby. Stupid question but has anybody called the local police in Beaconsfield? Bucks Council could not clarify where the nearest police stn with dog kennels were. Owner says there are restaurants nearby in Warwick Road but they would have rubbish collected by private companies which could be a number of different firms and on any week day. Owner is going back to search. Good luck.

If so, they would have had bin collections on Monday. I have a direct dial for my "lady" (thanks again) at Bucks. Any more info, I'll give her another ring.
