A dog breeder and her husband have been found guilty of animal cruelty after 14 Red Setters were discovered dehydrated and caged . Margaret and Gary Mazan from Bradford , West Yorkshire , had their dogs seized by RSPCA inspectors after the animals were discovered in filthy cages . Three of the fully grown dogs were found crammed in puppy cages and the majority were kept in a squalid garden shed . Emma Ellis , an RSPCA inspector for Bradford who helped to seize the animals , said it was the worst conditions she has seen dogs in her 12 years as an inspector . She said : 'These were the worst conditions I 've ever seen dogs kept in . To see the dogs living in a small shed , with three fully grown setters living in a puppy cage is horrific . They could not sit down or turn around and there fur was matted , covered in urine and faeces . 'When the shed was opened , the smell literally hit you and it was a smell like I had never experienced before . I still recall the smell every time I see the photos . 'To keep animals in these conditions is unacceptable for anyone , let a alone a dog breeder . ' Dingle Clark , prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA , said Mrs Mazan , 53 , had shown and bred setters for more than ten years . The animals had been kept at the Bradford home since the family moved from Leeds in February 2013 . RSPCA officials served a warning notice a month after the couple moved in due to the conditions the dogs were being kept in . A dog warden was refused access to the home in April 2013 , prompting calls to the RSPCA . Mrs Mazan chose not to give evidence in court yesterday , but her husband Gary , 51 , who is a long-distance lorry driver , claimed it was his wife who had sole responsibility for the dogs . Both defendants were found guilty of seven breaches of the Animal Welfare Act and were granted bail ahead of a sentencing hearing next month . All the dogs are currently in the care of the RSPCA . The animals had been kept at the Bradford home since the family moved from Leeds in February 2013 . They are all now in the care of the RSPCA .
