A man has admitted selling a number of sick puppies at an illegal 'pet shop'.

Marco Tondo kept the dogs in cramped conditions at the address in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, in October 2018.

Two of the animals had to be put down shortly after they were sold while others were found to be unwell and underweight.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court Tondo, 32, pleaded guilty to causing the puppies "unnecessary suffering".

Tondo and co-accused Nadine Campbell, 31, both admitted to a separate crime that they did "keep a pet shop" without proper authority.

This involved the sale of five puppies while they also had eight other young dogs.

Tondo, of Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, and Campbell, who lives at the address in Bishopbriggs, were bailed pending sentencing next month.
