According to experts, puppies are being bred in horror conditions or even vehicles, with many dogs left unable to sleep or even breath due to serious health issues.
A sharp rise in unlicensed "backyard breeders" putting profits before pet welfare is leading to a worrying increase in dangerous dog attacks.
Dog trainer Kate Golding, of Scawby, Lincs, said: “Dogs can sell for a lot of money – fashionable Frenchies, American Bullys and Bulldogs can make tens of thousands if not more per litter. In one image, a backyard breeder has used corrugated iron tied together to block off a tiny corner of their garden. Neighbours claimed they were keeping Jack Russell dogs in the “barren” space.
The 35-year-old was later charged with eight counts of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control that caused injury, with police seizing 17 dogs from the property.Last year was the deadliest on record for dog attacked in more than three decades - with 11 people - including five children aged four or younger - killed by dogs in UK.
Vanessa explained: “There is a very clear link between people who have convictions for drug dealing and illegal puppy farming. We got a load of English and French bulldogs from a police raid where they found drugs, weapons, cash. It is an easy way to launder money, the consequences are not nearly as severe as drug dealing.”
