Red Roses man sold puppies without licence
A Red Roses man has been prosecuted for selling puppies without a licence.
Hywel John Walters pleaded guilty at Ammanford Magistrates Court on Monday to an offence contrary to Section 1B of the Dogs Act 1973.
The court was told that Walters had been seen to be advertising puppies for sale over a long period of time. Despite repeated visits to his kennels at Upper Castle Ely, Red Roses, to advise him, he continued to sell puppies and did not apply for a licence.
In late 2009 a complaint was received that a pup purchased from Walters was sick and a visit was undertaken. It was found that there were several litters of puppies on site and an investigation was initiated.
During the time of the legal proceedings Walters began to make improvements to his kennels, and then applied for a licence which was granted recently.
The court imposed a 12 month conditional discharge and Walters was ordered to pay a contribution of £200 towards prosecution costs.
