A puppy waits behind bars at Frazer "puppy farm," October 19, 2014 Credit:Debra Tranter RSPCA chief inspector David O'Shannessy said while the owner had not complied with the code of practice - which sets the minimum standards for breeding facilities - there were no breaches under animal cruelty laws. "There are no immediate concerns for their welfare," he said. Mr O'Shannessy said the investigation was ongoing. Fairfax Media understands that the NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, has requested a copy of the RSPCA's findings.

She said another video of a visit in October shows a dead dog found on the property. The owner of the puppy farm has been known to authorities for more than a year. In December the RSPCA raided the property and prosecuted the breeder, Jennifer Frazer. Puppies living in squalor at Frazer "puppy farm." October 19, 2014.

The vet who attended the site reported a "barely conscious" female terrier being attacked and dragged around by a pack of dogs. "She had an abdominal wound from which her intestines had eviscerated. She had multiple puncture wounds over her body and bruising around her eyes. Her jaw was clamped shut and she had a trickle of fresh blood from her nose." Despite being convicted of animal cruelty the puppy farm was allowed to continue to operate for a year. October 19, 2014. Credit:Debra Tranter

Oscar's Law had raised concerns with authorities since February. Ms Tranter complained again last week after the group's investigation found more than 100 dogs living in "atrocious conditions at the property." She said at least a further 10 dogs required immediate veterinary care. "I don't know what these dogs have to go through to get help. It makes me sick," she said. "No dogs should be left on that property. They're still dying, they're still in pain, they're still [living] in inadequate conditions that don't comply with the code of practice," she said.

"The RSPCA had enough evidence for a full seizure and closure of that property but they chose to walk away and leave the dogs." A spokeswoman for the department of primary industries said that the RSPCA is the highest authority in the state when it comes to investigating accusations of animal cruelty. "It is the RSPCA's reason for existing. They are compelled to act upon complaints," she said. "If there is a complaint against the RSPCA, the next step is the minister." Ian Hughes, an inspector for the Animal Welfare League, called on the NSW government to create legislation that would require regular inspection and a licensing system. "At the moment you can buy yourself 100 dogs and get yourself going as a dog breeder tomorrow," he said.

Ms Hodgkinson said the NSW government had an in principle support for a breeder licensing scheme.
