More than 40 puppies stolen from a farm near Clonegal
Gardaí are looking for information after six litters of pups and their mothers were stolen from a farm outside Clonegal in Carlow.
The owner – who is a registered dog breeder – woke up on Sunday to discover they’d been taken.
In total there were 41 puppies and six bitches.
The puppies are no more than a couple of weeks old.
They’re understood to be mostly a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, with some labradoodles as well.
Gardaí say they were stolen from a very rural area so they haven’t yet been able to find any witnesses.
However, they’re appealing for anyone who is offered a puppy for sale locally to get in touch with them if they think there’s any chance it could be one of those stolen.
