The majority of the dogs were rehabilitated and rehomed, but four were unfortunately euthanised due to incurable health related issues.
“The dogs were bred illegally purely for commercial gain with no regard for their welfare," said inspector Karen Lyons.
"There is simply no excuse for failing to provide a basic level of care for these dogs and animal neglect and mistreatment is a serious offence that will not be tolerated."
Sharkey was sentenced to 200 hours community service and banned him from keeping dogs for 10 years, while Quinn was sentenced to 80 hours community service and banned from keeping dogs for two years.
Both defendants were also required to pay €1,230 in costs and pay a contribution of €1,070 to the ISPCA.
