Conifer man offers $5,000 reward for return of rare Boz Shep

A Conifer resident is offering a $5,000 reward for the return of his missing Boz Shepherd, a rare breed of dog with only a handful of known breeders in the United States.

He suspects 11-week-old puppy, Hugo, was stolen when it disappeared May 23 from his backyard. His biggest concern is that whoever may have Hugo is ignorant of the rare breed's characteristics and the training methods necessary to keep the dog from becoming aggressive.

Hugo is tan in color with a black muzzle and black paws. Perri's ad says the dog's dew claw, the raised toe on the back of its foot, is very low, making it appear that he has extra toes.

Anyone who thinks they have seen Hugo can call Pirri at 213-259-5670.
