I hope Max's current caretakers get him microchipped right away.  I'm soooo glad he was recovered safe and sound.

It turns out they had good intentions, but they hadn't asked around nor contacted anybody concerning him.  Max's owners are out of country for a few more months, so the reunion will be delayed, but they are overjoyed at his safe return to the person in whose care they had left him.

>> Hello farm collie people,
>> 
>> One of my Gracehaven collies has been stolen at Mattole Beach in N. CA.  on Sunday, Jan. 26. Max is a light sable collie & white, from my 2012 litter Gracehaven Caitrin X Gavin (who was bred by me also, Gracehaven Angus X Peruvian Lassie). 
>> 
>> Max's owners are out of country and had left Max in care of a friend.  The friend's 2 dogs & Max were romping at the beach, getting wet and probably dirty.  A camper there saw Max and took him-- it was                                   witnessed but apparently not close enough to stop it.  Max had tags on, which were disregarded.  The police and shelters have been notified, but we would like to get the word out in whatever way we can.
>> 
>> One thought is that the person may have thought they were "rescuing" Max (or maybe they just plain wanted him).  He was wet and dirty (temporarily) and                                                 he may have appeared scraggly and on the lean side.                                                    My collies run quite leggy and lean (Borzoi influence), but they are healthy, that's just how they are. Max gets all the food he wants, btw.  Max had been seen by a vet just before his owners left, and had been pronounced healthy and beautiful.
>> 
>> I am going to try to attach photos to this, I don't know if it will go through.  Max has an almost-complete white ruff, it slightly "opens" to show the sable at his left neck/ shoulder. He has a distinctive white marking on the back of his neck/ head, extending from his white ruff.  It looks like a line of                                                           white diagonally from right ruff, up toward left.  He has white forelegs and sable hind legs with white feet.
>> 
>> Please be on the alert and let me know if you see him anywhere.  His owners are relatives of mine and we are all quite upset.
