There are 19 dogs observed in the kennel but the APHIS 7005 lists only 10 dogs. The nine dogs not listed on the APHIS 7005 are juvenile puppies (approximately 6 months of age). The licensee stated that they will be sold soon so did not add them to the inventory. Records of all the dogs must be made and maintained with accurate information so their identity can be known with certainty, and to be able to track the dogs that are purchased, transported, traded, sold, or leave by other methods and for accurate health care documentation. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the following information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, euthanized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer.
