It says 'four months old' in the ad?
Doesn't add up.
If you buy something that turns out to be stolen you don't have title to it, good faith or not.
.
maybe i'm being stupid here, but isn't the point of micro chipping an animal should it get lost or stolen?
Whether the man brought it in good faith or not, he is not the legal owner. Hope the poor girl gets her dog back.
Stinkbomb, thats very interesting, are you a legal (b)eagle by any chance?Do you know what constitutes legal ownership of a dog? All mine are microchipped, but just wondering if there is anything else that can be done, like tatooing which would strengthen any ownership confusion?

But surely the theft was reported to the police at the time? Therefore the man was handling stolen goods and the dog should be removed. Dogs are "property" and no different to televisions and cars in law. ..
Is DNA testing also a good tool? It is primarily used by my breed fraternity to stop people entering dogs/using at stud untested or unproven dogs pretending they are a top winning, imported, health tested superstar but still claiming all the money and prizes that a dog like that could command but would it also be useful in identifying stolen dogs?
It'd be easier if the dog could give a statement eh?![]()
