- No bill of sale for dog
Warden observed there was no bill of sale for one dog that had recently been brought into the kennel from another state.
- Transferred 61 dogs in 2020
Warden viewed that the kennel owner surpassed the Kennel Class II non-commercial kennel type by transferring ownership of more than 60 dogs throughout the 2020 calendar year. The definition of “commercial kennel” in section 102, together with the establishment of different categories of commercial licenses in section 206(a), establish that a kennel must have one of the enumerated commercial licenses in order to transfer more than 60 dogs a year. By inference, a “Kennel Class II” may transfer up to 60 dogs a year but no more. Stoltzfus Kennel violated the Dog Law when it transferred 1 dog in excess of the 60-dog transfer limit in 2020 for a Kennel Class II. Specifically, it did not have “the appropriate license” when it transferred the 61st dog in 2020.
July 22, 2021 — Routine inspection, Pennsylvania 16444
29 dogs recorded (12 adults · 17 puppies).
- Dog over 16 weeks without rabies vaccine
Rabies Vaccination 455.8 (a)(1) This Warden observed a dog over the age of 16 weeks without a rabies vaccination.
