Al Govednik's German Shepherd Dog was stolen from his yard this morning at 5:15am. This was his competition dog that won the FH championship in 2010. Any help would be appreciated.

Again, this dog was STOLEN, not lost. Al saw a white van take off with the dog, he tried to pursue but lost them in the dark early hours of the morning. The police have been contacted.

ok, now how about a little more information.

Dog Chipped?
Dog's Call Name? (This would be helpful, just in case someone spots a dog might be him.)
Does he respond to english commands or german?

I sure hope he is found. I know how hearbreaking it is to lose a competition dog this way. You never really get over it.

**vigraxtru** · 09-26-2011, 10:34 PM

His name is Hex. Although formal commands are in German, his owner is American and I'm sure the dog would respond to English. My dog's Schutzhund commands are German but she understands common English words as well. Besides, she wouldn't likely comply with a stranger if given formal commands. The dog is either chipped, tattooed or both. I haven't heard definitively either way.

**LeviBrawn** · 09-26-2011, 11:23 PM

that sucks. I hope they get him back!

**houkbsdov** · 09-27-2011, 12:21 AM

Oh my goodness! I'm in Florida so I can't help but I will keep my fingers crossed and keep the dog and the owner in my thoughts and prayers!

**DoroKickcrofe** · 09-27-2011, 04:50 PM

I have been watching the pounds, craiglist, the paper and such around here, and let people know (was ganna cross post to the GSD forum but its already on there)

I figure they might try to use him as a stud or sell him fast you know

**unioneserry** · 09-27-2011, 06:34 PM

I'm not in IL. But I'll post the news video. You never know where he may have ended up.

The news story said tattoo in left ear and chipped.

I hope someone brings him home.

Has he put up fliers saying that if he is returned there will be no questions asked and a reward? With the publicity, the chip and the tattoo, maybe the thieves will feel he is too "hot" and just bring him home to collect the reward.

**v74ClzKY** · 09-27-2011, 07:54 PM

He should look in Iowa based on where he lives.

**SoOW2LeA** · 09-27-2011, 08:18 PM

Thinking good thoughts and hoping he's found and returned quickly!

**DoniandaCoado** · 09-27-2011, 08:59 PM

I hope Hex comes home soon!

Nvm... Looking at the page now, I see Hex has already been posted there.

**obHQNsY2** · 09-27-2011, 10:00 PM

I hope he is safely returned!

**bug_user** · 10-13-2011, 09:53 PM

He didn't make it. I hope they find out what happened. At least now the owners can get some kind closure. RIP Hex
