Prized poodle becomes victim of identity theft

A dog breeder says her prize-winning standard poodle has had his identity "stolen" over the internet.

Lynne Day said Afonwen Welch Fusilier - or Blue, for short - was targeted after his pedigree details were accidentally posted online.



A suspected conman has been passing Blue off as his own, claiming the dog has given birth to pups which he tries to sell to unsuspecting customers.

Police are investigating a complaint by Mrs Day, of Tremeirchion, Denbighshire.
