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.

“No recorded date for fecal float testing for 29 dogs had been done at time of inspection. ... The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving ... sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests ... in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian.”
“The cage carpets used at the facility as whelpingGiving birth to puppies. mats are in disrepair. Six enclosures housing five adult dogs and 16 puppies, contain cage carpets that have frayed edges that expose loose fibers and long strings.”
“The facility does not have the date recorded for the administration of the rabies vaccine in the adult dogs. Failure to maintain records of vaccines and treatments administered to the dogs does not allow for APHIS officials to determine if the veterinarian approved vaccination schedule is being followed.”
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 If you believe any information here is inaccurate or out of date, please submit a correction.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.🐾
