Tony is an 18 month old grey Weinmeraner - an entire male - grey.

He went missing near Kinlet (Cleobury Mortimer) on 27th September.

He is wearing a collar.  He's quite a big dog, very active (will jump 8 feet!), friendly but very boisterous!

His owner is distraught and a reward is offered.  It is thought likely he got into a car so may be out of the area.  Any information desperately sought and a reward is offered.

Picked up by a gamekeeper 7 miles from home :-)

Yes, Tony is back! He turned up at a keeper's farm late last night. They managed to catch him and put him in a stable - of course he jumped out! This morning he was still hanging around - they used one of their bitches to lure him into a shed. Of course he was aboutthe only local keeper whose name and number I didn't know - but we had run into him last year and he'd seen Tony - and admired him. So turned up here this morning to say 'have you lost ....'Tony came out of the shed very cowed and frightened - until he saw his Mum! The twist in the tail is that keeper has THREE Weinmeraner bitches. We don't think it was pure chance he turned up there. Seems keeper had been in the woods opposite with one of his bitches. Tony must have picked up her scent there, followed it to where the keeper's vehicle had been parked and then tracked the car! He's not as silly as we thought he was - the keeper wants to breed from the bitches and Tony may get to be Dad! We're enormously relieved - of course - and will be keeping a much closer eye on Tony in future!

Sorry but this sounds very fishy to me. I wonder how long it will be before the keeper announces his bitch is in whelp and can you sign the paperwork? Call me cynical ... ;) Glad you got your dog back :)

Mmm - sounds like something that happened to my sister/her lab years ago, in Berkshire ......:(
