The total adult dog count in the kennel was 219. The Dogs on Hand (APHIS form 7009) only had 79 adult dogs listed. There was missing information for the adult dogs for numerous blocks throughout the form. Complete and accurate records must be kept in order to ensure that each animal's identity can be known with certainty and to facilitate tracking/tracing of animals.

Two dog door inserts are excessively chewed along the sides and exposing bare wood under the plastic in areas. There are gaps in some of the inserts corners. The inserts were located to the right of the entry door of the Breeding House Kennel. These surfaces cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. Therefore, increasing the disease potential for the four adult dogs housed in these enclosures. All surfaces must have maintenance on a regular basis. This will allow for properly cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces reducing the disease potential. To be corrected by, 30-February-2015.

To the right of the entry door for the Breeding House Kennel, six enclosures have an accumulation of brown grime on the walls, floors, dog doors and door inserts. This indicates that daily-spot cleaning is not taking place. Without daily-spot cleaning and sanitization, waste can accumulate and increase the disease hazards for the 12 adult dogs. All surfaces must be spot-cleaned and sanitized when necessary to reduce the disease hazards for the dogs. To be corrected by, 20-February-2015.

Three enclosures on the west side of the Breeding House Kennel, housing six adult dogs, have vinyl wire gates. The vinyl wire is broken in areas along the bottom of the gates where it fastens to the PVC pipe framing. The broken areas have sharp points protruding into the enclosure. These sharp points were located at a low level where the dogs could possibly get injured from them. All enclosures must be maintained, so there are no sharp points that could injure the dogs. To be corrected by, 25-February-2015.

Six enclosures on the west side of the Breeding House Kennel, housing 20 adult dogs, have gates with vinyl wire attached to PVC pipe framing. The vinyl wire is not secured to the PVC pipe framing along the bottom of the gates. The vinyl wire is broken and rusted apart in areas, along the bottom. The vinyl wire is bowing inward approximately ½ to 1 inch along the bottom. This indicates the enclosures do not have regular maintenance. The dogs could be injured by trying to escape or getting tangled in the wire. All enclosures must be constructed or maintained to provide protection from injury for the dogs.

The following is the measurement of two adult dogs: 1. A Yorkshire Terrier (I.D# 092548112) measured 16 inches. (16 inches + 6 X 16 inches + 6= 484 inches/ 144 = 3.36 square feet). 2. A Yorkshire Terrier housed with the other dog (not identified) measured 16 inches. (16 inches +6 X 16 inches + 6 = 484 inches/ 144 = 3.36 square feet.). 100 percent required total space for these dogs is 968 inches/ 144 = 6.72 square feet. The enclosure is (24 inches X 30 inches) allowing for 720 square inches/ 144 = 5 square feet of total space. Therefore, 248 inches or 1.72 square feet of additional space is required. All dogs must be provided with the required amount of floor space to comply with the regulations, allow for proper exercise and socialization. To be corrected by, 30-February-2015.

There is a six year old white male bichon (microchip # 7E10034200, date of birth 02-16-2016) with a heavy accumulation of tartar buildup on the upper dental arcades. The buildup has produced a thick brown deposit of debris on teeth on both the right and left sides with inflammation and recession of gum tissue. Accumulation of dental tartar may lead to inappetence, gum infection, gum recession with loosening or loss of teeth, pain and discomfort. Each dealer shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose and treat diseases and injuries. This dog needs to be evaluated by your veterinarian and an appropriate plan for treatment established by April 10 2022.

There is a large amount of fecal buildup on the exterior concrete slab in 4 occupied dog runs on the east side of the far east kennel building. There is also a large amount of fecal buildup under and on the exterior suspended floor of a suspended kennel on the west side that is occupied by three dogs. Buildup of fecal material on surfaces contributes to insanitary conditions which may lead to soiling of dogs and an increased risk of disease. Accumulated waste may also attract flies and other pests. Excreta and food waste must be removed from primary enclosures daily and from under primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent an excess of feces and food waste. Affected dogs need to be moved to clean kennels or accumulated waste removed by the end of today.

During inspection, a tricolored (white + brown + gray), intact female Shih Tzu, with a date of birth of 09-12-2016 and microchip #933000320457370, was found with thick dark brown deposits of tartar over right and left upper and lower rear teeth. A thick deposit of tartar was also found on the base of the lower right canine tooth. The licensee stated this dog is bred and unable to have a dental done until after whelping. Accumulation of tartar on teeth may lead to discomfort, difficulty chewing, progressive gum disease and tooth loss. The use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose and treat tartar accumulation and other dental or disease issues, and timely correction of those issues when found, is necessary for the overall health and well-being of animals.

During inspection, the licensee was unable to provide documentation on an annual veterinary exam and findings for an intact female Shih Tzu with a date of birth of 09-12-2016 and microchip #933000320457370. At the time of inspection, the licensee stated that this dog had received a veterinary annual exam on 10-10-2025 along with other dogs in the kennel. The licensee was unable to provide written documentation of an annual exam and findings for this dog conducted on 10-10-2025 or within the previous 12 months to today’s inspection. Annual veterinary exams are important to evaluate the health of all breeding stock and to detect diseases or conditions that may impact the health and well-being of animals. An annual veterinary exam for all adult dogs within a licensed facility is required and should include a record of exam findings dated and signed by your veterinarian. Correct by June 15, 2026.
