Craig & Linda Kleven – Fair View Kennels

Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors). A male Shih Tzu with microchip number 106800831 had wet fur around its mouth. The front teeth, canine teeth and cheek teeth on both sides of the mouth had a dark brown material on the surface of the teeth. There was a grayish colored creamy material extended along the line where the teeth meet the gums. These signs are consistent with the presence of dental disease. Dental disease can be painful and lead to a decreased appetite and systemic health problems. The licensee must, in consultation with the facility veterinarian, appropriately address the dental health of this dog and develop and maintain a preventative dental program to be included in the facility's program of veterinary care.

Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors). A female French Bulldog with microchip number 029 104 122 had an abnormal discharge from the anal area that varied in color from tan to reddish brown to deep red in color. A small amount of blood was also observed in the stools in this enclosure. The licensee stated that he had just given dewormer to this dog. There is no written documentation noting observations or treatment provided to this dog by the licensee. No communication by the licensee with the attending veterinarian has occurred regarding this dog and since the dog has not been diagnosed, it is unclear if proper treatment is being administered by the licensee. If not properly treated, the condition could worsen and result in other negative health effects. This dog must be examined by the attending veterinarian for diagnosis and prescribed treatment. Documentation must be maintained by the licensee on any evaluations, diagnosis and treatment provided.

Surfaces - General requirements. Three enclosures in the small breeder building and two enclosures in the large breeder building housing a combined total of 10 adult dogs had excessive chewing/scratching damage to the plastic supports within the enclosure. The excessive chewing/scratching damage has caused grooves in the plastic leaving a rough surface that is allowing dirt and debris to accumulate in the grooves. These surfaces cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, which could affect the health of the animals by harboring bacteria and other disease hazards in the grooves. Replace or repair chewed surfaces to reduce or eliminate these risks. Correct by 28 August 2014.

Surfaces - Cleaning. The upper portions of the breeder enclosures have a buildup of fur and dust on the enclosure wire and ledges. The bungee cords securing the food receptacles to the enclosures also have a buildup of fur and dust on them. Several of the doggie doors in the large breeder building have a dark brown organic matter buildup on the surfaces of the doors. Inadequate cleaning of surfaces allows a buildup to occur, which increases risk of disease and does not satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. Remove this buildup from upper portion of enclosures, bungee cords and doggie doors and maintain all surfaces of housing facilities on a regular basis to prevent an accumulation.

Four Havanese puppies (approximately 7 weeks old) were in an enclosure that measured 42'' X 29" for a total area of 1,218 square inches of space. The puppies measured 12'', 13'', 13'', and 14'' respectively. Together they required 1,446 square inches of space. Their enclosure was short by 228 square inches of space. Cage space requirements ensure that the dogs have enough room to move about freely within their enclosures. It minimizes the dogs from stepping or sitting in their feces or urine and also minimizes the spread of disease. The licensee must ensure that all enclosures containing dogs and puppies have enough floor space to meet the minimum floor space requirements for the number of and the size of the dogs in that enclosure.

The licensee did not have disposition dates recorded on APHIS form 7005 for six dogs that have left the facility. Not recording the disposition dates on APHIS form 7005 doesn't allow APHIS officials to be able to easily track the dogs that are leaving the facility. All disposition dates must be recorded on APHIS form 7005 in a timely manner. Correct starting on 7/1/26.

At least four adult dogs are not up to date on their distemper/parvo vaccinations. Not having all adult dogs up to date on their distemper/parvo vaccinations doesn't ensure those dogs are adequately protected against those diseases that the vaccine is supposed to protect against. All adult dogs must be vaccinated against distemper/parvo in accordance with a schedule that is approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 8/1/26.

The adult dogs have been examined by the attending veterinarian in the past year and the population has been sampled for heartworm and fecal parasites, but the licensee doesn't have any records or documentation of these exams or tests. Not having documentation of all exams and records of all tests that are completed doesn't allow the APHIS inspector to easily ensure the population is in good health. The dates and findings/results of the annual exams must be documented and be available to the APHIS inspector to review during inspection. Correct starting on 7/1/26.
