Hi Delainie, the owners have looked at these pics and don't think it's them but thank you so, so much for sharing, we really aapreciate it. It's lots of people coming together like this which increases our chances of finding them.

Thanks Delainie, I've posted the links on dogs lost and sent the details onto the dog walker to pass to the owner...

As one of the owners of the dogs who was taken, we are indeed all heart broken. Knowing the details, my view is that once a professional criminal gang has decided to target you, there is very little that can be done. But, of course, we need to ensure we make it as difficult for them as possible. I'm wondering if the dogs were stolen to order. I posted this to alert others and to ask for help. If anyone recognises the van, the partial registration or any of the dogs in the pictures, please do get in touch with the police or call Dogs Lost 0844 800 3220.

Update, the link here has pictures of this missing dogs. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/thieves-steal-six-designer-dogs-from-walkers-van-in-forest-hill-a3324111.html Whilst I agree we all need to be vigilant, this dog walker was targeted by an organised criminal gang, a witness saw the same van scoping her address the day before and it all happened so quickly that this was definitely planned and not opportunistic. We are hoping the police can trace the van as they have a description and first half of the vehicle reg.

Six dogs were stolen from the back of a dog walker's van in Forest Hill at 12.15 today. The dogs were loaded into a black transporter van with the registration starting LF13. One dog was handed into a pet shop in Bromley by a man who said he found him in Crystal Palace park. Any info anyone might have would be brilliant. Pics to follow.
