Anna Broderick, well-known in horse racing circles, appeals closure order after veterinary inspectors closed her dog breeding business in Doneraile, north Cork
Puppies were found stinking and soaked in urine while many dogs including larger breeds such as German Shepherds exhibited worrying behaviours with some dogs standing on their hind legs like Meer Cats, others repeatedly jumping in their pens while one turned in repeated circles in his pen.
Among the issues identified in the council closure order was Ms Broderick’s failure to ensure the thermal comfort of many of the dogs including during sub-zero temperatures. In one shed, there was a bed level temperature of 0.7 degrees and no bedding or heat lamps were provided for many of the dogs. Ms Nolan said a routine animal welfare inspection on Oct 6th, 2022 revealed “a whole host of red flags” with overcrowded kennels, dirty with faeces and urine, vermin “harbourage” and behavioural abnormalities in the dogs, a significant risk of disease and a failure to produce records.
A Bichon Frisé, quite heavily in pup, had no bedding, no heat source, and darted away from her “like a cat” when she tried to pet her which is not normal for this “companionable” breed which “generally likes to be fussed over and petted”, said Ms Nolan.
