USDA inspectors visit licensed dog breeders to check that their facilities meet federal Animal Welfare Act standards — housing, food and water, veterinary care, sanitation, and how the dogs are handled. Each visit produces a public report through the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). For citations, we've included the first sentence of the report.

“There are places in the large dog enclosures where the metal pipes have rusted. This rusting has left some pipe joints unsecure and in other places the rust has resulted in jagged metal edges.”
“An adult female yellow Labrador retriever named Shamie ... has a swelling on her right front leg wrist joint. ... She limped very slightly. ... An adult red and white female shiba inu named Mia ... has toenails that are too long.”
“There are places in the large dog enclosures where the metal pipes are still rusted. This rusting has left some pipe joints unsecure and in other places the rust has resulted in jagged metal edges.”
“In the outdoor enclosures, the entryway edges of two plastic shelter structures are chewed with a jagged, roughened surface. In one indoor enclosure, the plastic or fiberglass wall boards are scratched on approximately fifty percent of the surfaces.”
Counts include adults and puppies. The dog-count color shows kennel size: green for smaller kennels, yellow for mid-size, and red for the largest (150 or more dogs). In the findings column, a red finding marks a critical citation.

Pawthenticity summarizes public inspection records from USDA APHIS to help people make informed decisions. The findings, citation codes, and dates shown are drawn directly from those records and reflect conditions documented on the inspection date(s) shown — they may not reflect current operations. Category and severity labels are our summary of the USDA's own findings, not independent judgments about a breeder. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or out of date, please submit a correction.
Pawthenticity is a nonprofit organization creating a public database of dog breeders. We combine a breeder's USDA reports, state inspections, licensing records, and other publicly available information into a complete profile – free for all.
Our aim is an accurate, complete, easy-to-read record for every breeder. Here's an example profile.
If you believe dogs deserve more protection, and puppy parents deserve better information, please consider donating, volunteering, or sharing Pawthenticity with others.
Together, we can make breeder information more transparent and accessible for everyone.🐾
