Us too. That's why we built Pawthenticity — a nonprofit transparency platform that compiles already-public information about breeders: ownership, license(s), inspections, violations, kennel size, breeds, and more.
Our goal is simple: an honest, transparent, and up-to-date resource for the dog community. 🐾

USDA Inspections
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.

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.
Horrible Hundred
The Humane Society’s “Horrible Hundred” is an annual report that highlights dog breeders across the United States with repeated or serious animal-welfare concerns. Below is a summary of the concerns noted in the report(s):
2013: Dog named Judy shot in head instead of getting her care (she had an eye problem). Wanted to “get one more litter out" of her before shooting her.
2014: Dying puppy euthanized; No new violations
2021: Failed inspection access; Wire flooring violations; Disease control issues

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.
