It seems that dog thieves are as
busy as horse thieves. My puppy search project turned this up, so I thought it
was worth passing on.
TWO BLUE NINE WEEK OLD SHAR PEI PUPPIES
STOLEN IN MINNESOTA On Sunday, January 19, 2003, a woman named Elizabeth
Yard, New Brighton, MN and James Johnsen (Maybe aliases) purchased one
show quality blue brushcoat= male and his sister a blue bearcoat
female for $1,900. There may be a third party involved name Wendy Andersen
of Brooklyn Center, MN. BEWARE, they are wonderful actors. Elizabeth shared
how she was going to ve= t tech school and was going to use the puppy in
her training. Elizabeth was = very personable. Wells Fargo Bank has
informed us that Elizabeth Yard's banking account was a bogus
account. We called the two phone numbers that Elizabeth gave us and they
had been di= sconnected. We contacted the Lindstrom, MN Sheriff's office
and the St. Paul= , MN Police Department. We were informed that this
wasn't the first time the= y had done this. On January 6, 2003, they
purchased 2 AKC Beagle puppies and= did the same thing to those
breeders. They are driving a late model Chevrolet light tan crewcab pickup.
If you se= e or hear of these people, or if someone calls you about buying
or selling the puppies described above, please ask them for their names
and phone numb= ers and then call us at 651-257-4304 or Officer Theresa
Spencer, St. Paul Po= lice, at 651-248-3997, or the Chisago County
Sheriff's Department at 651-257-4100. The Sheriff advised us that we
probably will never see our puppies again as= they may be in a
different state by now. We are trying all avenues to find = our puppies
and at the same time alert all breeders. If you belong to other dog clubs,
please pass this information on to them. Permission to cross pos= t. All
we want is our puppies back. Greg & Becky Biedermann Hidden Haven
