What wonderful news for your loved ones, Judy and for you to be home - back where you belong...where you are safe and loved. So sorry for what you went through...words are just not enough. Let us hope, beautiful girl that you have left that nightmare behind and with all those who love and care for you, only happy days ahead x Last edited: 2019-03-02 00:07:55 by Carolynl

Just seen an update from Victoria Vets - well done Maggie - now called Judy - for getting well again, enjoy your life back where you belong -- Apologies it has taken me so long to get back to. Judy is doing so well. In fact she is a real star. She has healed well and is very well behaved and seems to have remembered so much of her training. I have high hopes that she will be a fantastic working dog as well as a much loved pet/ member of the family. She retrieves nicely and walks to heal off the lead. I like to think she just lives in the moment and doesn't think back to those bad times.

She is now at a normal weight and apart from the scar it is hard to remember what a state she was in.

Here are a couple of photos (week one to now nearly healed) One is her with Pip the other dog that was stolen at the same time as her all those years ago. Reunited again. There are a couple of the scar at different stages of the healing process. It has taken a good deal of work, doing dressing daily, but well worth it as the results show.
Here's to many happy years for Judy with us, being loved and cared for

Absolutely fantastic news that this gorgeous girl has been found and reunited. The thieving scum bags that took her need to be punished, if they are ever traced but I hold the people who buy from them, responsible too. If the demand for 'click & collect' puppies ended, so would the supply!!!
Welcome home Maggie, you poor sweet victim of a vile crime x

Great news!

Absolutely fantastic news. Am elated for owners. They must think they are dreaming. But these vile thieves have robbed Maggie`s owners of six years of their pets life. I hope they never find peace. Stoppettheft. I agree with all you have said. This gives hope to others whose pets are missing. Enjoy every minute you can with Maggie. Hope she recovers soon, and sending her healing vibes. Don`t worry Maggie, the scum who took you away from your family will get their comeuppance. Hope it`s sooner, rather than later, ((((((HUGS)))))) to you, and your family. Looking forward to a reunited photo of you, and your family. Stay very close now Maggie:--) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Poor poor Maggie to have been used & abused & neglected We are all praying for her Speedy Recovery - no doubt her recovery will be helped immensely now that She is home with her Family & familiar scents & people.
Those Evil Vile Pet Thieves need their vile Hands chopping off , it's a pity that current UK laws do not include this deterrent/ punishment in their sentencing.

Amazingly 6 and a half years after being stolen Maggie has been found and now reunited with us. She was found dumped in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, handed into Victoria vets Practice in Merthyr Tidfil. She is in a poor state with cuts to her leg and neck and very thin, but with some TLC we hope she will recover well. She has obviously been used for breeding! Many thanks to the person who found her and the lovely staff at Victoria Vets. Just shows that micro chipping works. Very emotional day, but fantastic.

MR Trissa is waiting to hopefully hear back from the finder to find out the details of exactly where...but at this time it is not known...update will follow if we get that info.

Hi, whereabouts in the New Forest was she found as it's a large area?
Shereen
Jayne could we have more alerts sent out in the new forest/southampton area please for Maggie...and if you could all keep an eye out for lab pups for sale in this area too...if any ads do come up ,do not flood the seller with calls...email admin@oglost,co.uk (with ref to this page) or contact owner direct so it can be dealt with behind the scenes
Hollieberry
Lovely to see that Pip is home is Maggie still missing ?
Natasha
It's brilliant news! She was found wondering in the new forest, Hampshire. She's obviously been had by travellers and used for breeding. With a little tlc she'll be back to good health. She's such a sweetheart!!!

Has anyone checked dog no. 49760?

Bit of a long shot but there's a failed gun dog for sale. Thinner but head shape and the way the dog is sitting looks like the picture on the left. They don't state the sex of the dog. Best check - http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/255231-black-labrador-craven-arms.html
Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum
Do either of these girls have any distinguishing marks? I was driving in to Watermead Village (Aylesbury) this afternoon and saw a man walking away from the village with 2 black labs on leads. Don't know if they were female but will keep a look out for them.

Bumping Pip and Maggies page as they are featured in the April edition of Dogs Today magazine, out now. Do hope it brings some news

There is a strong resemblance I agree Rachel. I do hope these lovely girls are found soon.

Do not give up Trisa we were told by a vet that chips can move it all depends how long your girl has been chipped. Make sure that you go and see her as she would recognise you straightaway. Find out the rescue place now so that you can make arrangements to view her. Make sure it is soon as she may be rehomed when she comes to England very quickly.
Trisa
They have double checked and this dog is not chipped. She is coming to a rescue in England next week, so I might try to find out where and see if it is possible to view the dog at all when she is over here. I will see if they will try calling her name to see if she responds.

Thanks for this Skippy. I have contacted them and they are going to re-scan the dog for me to double check if it is microchipped, both of mine were/are chipped, but it really does look like one of my girls, (difficult to be 100% sure just by one photo. I am waiting to hear back. They may just have missed the chip the first time of scanning.
It is so nice to know that people are still looking out for my girls. I am not giving up, they will turn up somewhere and I will get them back.

Have checked the Homeless hounds website thanks, but not one of my girls! Good to know that people still have my girls in their minds. I has also not found this website before, so another one for me to keep an eye on. My hope is that these places do scan every dog for microchip!

black lab on homeless hounds website

Spoke to person who sighted the Lab in Bledlow, as I didn't manage to see the dog myself I can't say for sure, but the description didn't sound like one of my girsl (too big!). The lady was very nice and said she would let me know if she spotted the dog again. lets hope he has been reunited with his owners by now. Thanks, for all the people looking out for us.

Sighting of a lost black labrador in Bedlow this morning...have passed on sighters number to owner to investigate.
bashfulbailie
Did you find anything out about the black lab on the A34. When my daughter's shorthair german pointer was missing he ran alongside the traffic on the M2 and disappeared into woods. With the help of the kind helpers via Doglost we found him after ten days. Your litle ones will come home I am sure.
Shereen
Trisa...im sure you get the dogwatch reports....Dogwatch No.811...Stray black lab seen running fast in a northerly direction alongside traffic between Chilton and didcot on the A34 today at around 1pm,wering a brown collar

Thanks for the info regarding the 2 labradors found (Lincs). Nice to know people have our dogs in their minds. Unfortunately not my dogs, but at least these dogs have been re-united with their owners. We will keep looking.

Hope the microchip works its magic and reunites them with their family. Paws and fingers xd.

They could have done this because they have a reason for wanting you to stop looking. I know you never will so lets all hope the ad in the Countryman's mag brings some good news! x
Trisa
Thanks for the advert in countryman's weekly. Fingers crossed for news.

I had what I am hoping is just a hoax call last night. The caller left a voicemail to say he had seen a dog run over by Tesco the other day (didn't say which Tesco or whether the dog was killed or just injured) and because I had not answered the phone he became abusive in the message, swearing etc! He did leave a mobile number which I have called back and the person denied any knowledge of the incident or the voicemail message - assuming this is just kids. It does coincide with poster being pulled down and put in a bin locally where youngsters do tend to congregate. Makes me feel sick that they would find this funny, but that reflects the world we live in today!
B30
Advertised in this weeks Countryman's Weekly magazine. I hope it brings some news
Trisa
Great, thanks. I took a trip to Tadley Saturday and put some posters up in shops etc.
I spoke to a lady today who had seen 2 Black Labradors being walked on leads by a group of young adults this morning in Eastwood Woods, Stokenchurch. She had no reason to suspect anything at the time, other than she had not seen these dogs or people before! She then saw one of our posters so thought it was worth reporting. She will let me know immediately if she sees them again. She could not say for definate that they were even bitches, but it is worth everyone knowing, just in case. Anyone who walks in these woods, please keep an eye out for these, or if you know who they may be, just to elimate them would be good.

No Matter where you live ,if everyone who views this page could possibly print off a poster of these two girls and put one up in your vets or local shop/petshop etc would be fantastic if everyone could help in any way possible...and make these girls TO HOT TO HANDLE...we need to get these girls home!..Thank you!


Trisa...have you thought about making up a Facebook group/page for for 'Two Missing Labs Buckinghamshire' or something along those lines...we could make this go viral between us!..I left my number with Martin if you need to get in touch...also maybe a paper could run the story?...if you are advertising or get a story in the paper, if you let me know we can bump their page right to the top.
Trisa
Really appreciate all the help and comments. Tx

As I thought, the white van b------ds ! These are the same 'people' that tried to snatch the dog fron Aston Rowant. The police should have the details on this van !! Let's hope that they move quickly !!
BettyBoo
Hi. Went down to the Livery and met the girl who found the dog but it wasn't one of them. This dog has been reunited with it's owner. Thanks anyway. We will keep looking!!!
I've just heard from a neighbour that a white transit van was seen driving down the track at the side of the house on the afternoon the dogs disappeared.

Hi, Husband brought posters home from work. Posters have been sent to Labrador Rescue who are more than happy to help. My friend whose husband is in a shooting club has sent faxes to friends who in turn have sent posters to their friends. All are involved with shooting. Around 100 posters have been sent out. Posters have also been sent to vets in the Kent area. Faye's message looks hopeful. Have you been to the Livery Yard as I do not think you will find a main telephone number. People usually only have their mobiles. Perhaps Faye could meet you there as she would recognise the lady she handed the Lab to.
BettyBoo
Hi Faye
She didn't happen to give you a phone number did she?
I've tried yell.com and searched on google but I can't find a telephone number
Faye
Hi, I was driving towards high wycombe from aylesbury yesterday when i passed a black lab wondering in the road, i stopped and i got out, she was a very friendly female, fairly slim with no collar, i knocked on a few doors and had no luck, she was very hot and so i did not want to put her in my car and take her any where. eventually a lady from a nearby livery yard appeared, i talked to her and she took her off my hands, she said she was going to put her in a stable and give her some water, i went back on my way home to offer the lady some help with locating the owner, she wasn't there and neither was the dog but i think she would have taken good care of her as she was very happy to help me out with her. I've left my number with the livery yard, it is called UPPER WARREN FARM on warrendene rd. hugheneden, it may be worth checking out. She was an amazingly well trained dog, i hope this helps
Ellie
Do we know if the obvious culprits have been checked out ?

Posters put up in Stokenchurch, Beacons Bottom, Christmas Common, Aston Rowant,Aston Rowant Nature Reserve and Thame. I will do Radnage, West Wycombe, Piddington and Watlington in the next couple of days.I have also given posters to people at work who live a fair distance away i.e Cowley, Fleet, Hoo and Slough and they have put these up for us. Hopefully, someone, somewhere will have seen something!

Barney'n'Ozzie's mum - no it's Cadmore End, near Stokenchurch.
This is the information I got from Dogwatch
'Two black Labrador bitches were stolen from locked kennels in Cadmore End, near Stokenchurch, today, 2 July, between 1:00 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. Both are microchipped. Police have been informed, crime reference number given.'

Any idea of the circumstances - i.e. if a vehicle involved/registration number etc? Also, is this the Cadmore near Princes Risborough/Chequers?
