Glad to see you got them back safe and sound.

I suspect the Police don't have the chip reading machine so easiest to just take them to the kennels to be checked.

All police stations are now equipped with a chip scanner,but seeing Spring gardens is only manned by civillians easy way out is call the kennels who by the way is Hynburns dog warden.I think it was in the late 80s that Accrington police did away with their dog kennels in the back.Isnt it law that a dog out in any public area should be wearing a collar and be tagged and be on a lead.Obviously in this instance these dogs got out unaware to their owner

Glad your dogs are now home.i bet they are in need of a bath after being thereh

It is law yes and has been for almost 17 years look at this site for info

This bit may be why they were taken away

4. Any dog in respect of which an offence is being committed against this Order may be seized and treated as a stray dog under section 3 of the Dogs Act 1906[2] or under section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Thank you Neil but i knew it was Law,sorry if i phrased it wrong also i dont think it helped them with being three out together..termed as a pack.
with owning/showing dogs it does help if you know where you stand regards dogs and the law,same for putting signs up on your gates the wrong terminolgy can land ya in hot water.Beware dogs running free is ok to have.but you mention beware guard dogs thats a whole different issue

If the dogs had been classed as behaving dangerously she could have been fined under the dangerous dogs act, its big fine as well. The definition of dangerous is interesting as well.
