A thug who calls himself "Dr DNA" has bragged about creating a new breed of Frankenstein dogs by combining French bulldogs with Dalmatians. Gary Hemming, who has no veterinary qualifications, sparked outrage after his intensive breeding techniques created spotty pups that are a cross between the two breeds. He claimed he is creating the animals to satisfy growing demand for "designer dogs" despite calls for this practice to stop as pups are doomed to live short lives beset by illness.
Due to the growth of unethical breeding practices, the Scottish Government has announced a major legal crackdown that will outlaw unlicensed dog breeders like Hemming. But the 41-year-old, from Edinburgh , claims he wants to bring a huge "wave" of new designer dogs to the market. He claims his "Pokadot" factory has invented a "new breed" of spotted French bulldogs which he hopes to sell across the globe, according to the Daily Record .
Hemming - who was previously exposed for producing genetically damaged Frankenstein pups in a BBC investigation - recently posted an online video of one miserable looking pup, with a distended belly. He claims the dog, "Mr Pokadot", will be the future of the new breed. British Veterinary Association President Dr Elizabeth Mullineaux has told of her concern over breeders like Hemming.
She said: "Vets across the UK are extremely concerned about a number of unscrupulous breeders ignoring the health and welfare of animals by cashing in on the huge demand for 'fashiona.
