Crufts puppy is stolen in East Yorkshire house raid

Five dogs, including a Crufts champion worth several thousand pounds, have been stolen during a robbery.

Humberside Police said the five Chihuahuas were taken from the property on Allison Lane, Lissett, near Driffied, East Yorkshire, on Thursday.

Mal Hilton, 65, who owns the dogs, said he was "devastated" by the robbery and feared for the animals' safety.

One of the dogs stolen was Valenchino Chihuahua Xena who was named Best Puppy in Breed at Crufts in March.

Fourteen-month old fawn longcoat Xena is known as Xena but her show name is Valenchino Made of Candy.

Other dogs taken included Xena's grandmother Angel, her mother Lo as well as two others named Pandora and Evie.

Don't want.
Can't see the appeal.

Stupid looking mutt.

Have they checked the local Korean community?

Have they checked the local Korean community?

I very much doubt they're for the pot, unless someone has extremely expensive tastes.

And there's not much eating in Chihuahuas either.

Sounds like an easy gig, stealing tiny puppies from old ladies.

And people say there's no creativity in crime these days.

It's certainly no joking matter.
Right at this moment, the puppy could be being fed cheaper dog food, and bargain biscuits.

It's an outrage, and the sooner interpol is involved the better. There should be a watch kept on all ports and airports. I heard some small dogs barking in someone's back garden yesterday, so if the police check it out, they might find a lead.
