I saw this in the dog press a little while ago, shocking. It does seem strange they can't trace the chip back to either an owner or breeder. I can't imagine why anyone would do this to a dog, maybe someone wanted a fighting dog and he didn't make the grade. Sadly I think Dogues are becoming yet another status dog and therefore some are ending up in the wrong homes, I have seen some awful specimens walking round locally, so suspect there is a byb somewhere cashing in on the demand for them.
