The dogs are now in the care of the DSPCA. Veterinary examinations on all three revealed that they are around 8 weeks of age and in reasonable health.

They were named Boris, Nutmeg and Fly by the DSPCA.

No documents or proof of vaccinations were found for the three puppies.

Under Irish and UK law, any dog being transported between the two countries must have an up-to-date pet passport with records of vaccinations, microchips and veterinary certificates.

The DSPCA said that any dog entering or leaving Ireland must comply with the passport regulations.

Over 500 dogs have been seized in the last two years.
