Do you have anyone looking out for him at Thimberley & Shorland sale first Friday of March in Reading? I don't like to go there but will if no one else is. Alternatively can the Hants Police advised the Berkshire lot? Is he microchipped?

If you email Thimbleby & Shorland as you will be able to attach the photos and it is best coming from you in case they have any questions on info@thimbleby-shorland.co.uk There are a lot of breeders/shetland showing people who go to this sale as it is a sort of official shetland sale. It is doubtful he would go through the ring but a lot of sales are done in the car park as it were.
I think if you contact the shetland society they may be able to put out a flyer/notice to their members or the catalogue will be up soon as you will now what breeders are bringing stock for sale and could contact them. Maybe a shettie breeder will see your thread and help out in this respect.
I will, of course, put posters up in my area. You must be in bits right now but try and be strong and be busy doing practical things, we intend to find him for you.
