A man has been fined and given a ban after being taken to court for breeding dogs illegally.

Herbert Timm was prosecuted by Selby District Council at York Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Tuesday, 14 February).

He was charged with breeding dogs and advertising a business of selling dogs, without a licence.

The breeding and sales took place at Low Farm, Lowfield Road, Monk Fryston.

A member of the public raised concerns with Selby council after viewing a puppy. Further investigations found multiple advertisements for dogs and puppies.

Timm was found guilty and received a fine of £120, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £34, to pay the council’s costs and is disqualified from dealing with dogs for five years.

Cllr Richard Sweeting, chairman of the licensing committee, said: “Animal welfare is an important part of our duty to ensure animals are treated humanely, responsibly, and with respect.

“Anyone going to purchase a puppy should make sure that they see the puppies and the mother together.

“Paperwork should be checked to make sure puppies are at least eight weeks old before they leave their mother and to make sure they are microchipped.

“If anyone has concerns, they should report them to us so we can investigate.”

The council has a public register of the licensed animal welfare establishments in its district and their star rating – check it here.
