Dudley woman sentenced and handed hefty court bill for illegal dog breeding
A Dudley woman has been sentenced for illegally breeding and selling dogs, and ordered to pay almost £8,000 in costs.
Charlene Robinson, 33, of Bryans Avenue in Wolverhampton, received a two-year conditional discharge at Dudley Magistrates' Court earlier this week, following a case brought to the court by Dudley Council’s Environmental Health team.
Robinson, formerly of Tansey Green Road, Dudley, was involved in the illegal breeding of Cocker Spaniels, Cockerpoos and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels at her family home, and has been ordered to repay £7,928 in costs.
In England, the law requires anyone breeding and advertising dogs for sale to have a licence, issued by their Local Authority, to do so.
