The disposition records with the following dates did not include the method of transportation nor the name of the initial carrier, intermediate handler and/or name of the owner of the privately owned vehicle: 8-1-13 8-1-13 8-22-13 Missing transportation information on disposition records does not allow APHIS officials to determine how and who transported the animals. Assure disposition records are completed to include the method of transportation and name of the person, carrier, or intermediate handler who transported the dogs. To be corrected: From this day forward.

Storage. The food storage are was noted to have an excessive amount of rodent droppings next to pallets of feed. Rodent control methods are reported to be used, however the effective use of these methods can't be confirmed with droppings present. Rodent droppings in feed storage areas can potentially contaminate feed and make animals sick. Maintain food storage areas clean and free from rodent droppings at all times to protect animal health and to evaluate rodent control pratices. To be corrected: 2-13-14

Ventilation. Four of the whelping rooms (1, 2, B1, 17) were noted by inspectors to have a strong ammonia odor present. A slight burning sensation could be felt in the throats of the inspectors in these rooms during the inspection. Strong ammonia odors can cause animals to get sick. While maintaining adequate temperature levels, fresh air flow must be maintained. Note: This was observed corrected on 2-12-14

Excessive feces are present inside many outdoor run areas of the primary enclosures. The feces are not being removed daily from these enclosures. This left limited areas for the dogs to walk or stand without coming into contact with the waste. Inadequate daily removal of excreta increases the risk of animals getting sick. Remove excreta from these enclosures and maintain on a daily basis. To be corrected: 2-14-14

The licensee purchased 5 breeding animals from 4 non licensed USDA persons without obtaining the vehicle license number and state, and the driver's license number and state to record on the inventory of animals on hand. This does not allow APHIS Officials to track animals as necessary. Ensure all required acquisition information for all animals is obtained and recorded as required. Correct from this time forward.
