The licensee stated they could feel a strong cold draft at the front of the enclosure from a space in the front of Barn #1 and it was a cold day the day that they found the puppies deceased. The licensee told the inspector the puppies must have gotten too cold and passed away. The licensee has placed some duct tape around where the draft is coming from, but a mild draft can still be felt.

When sold, the licensee adds a breed abbreviation before that number. There is no distinct number given between puppies of the same breeds. Identification of each puppy is necessary for APHIS officials to identify each puppy and trace their movements.

To be.

  • Missing dog acquisition/disposition records

    Required information was missing in the acquisition and disposition records for dogs at this facility. -The facility uses cage cards as the record of acquisition for the dogs born at the facility. The cage cards were missing the breed of the puppies, the dam's official identification number and the date that each puppy was sold, died or euthanized. The cage cards were also missing information on puppies moving to a foster dam. The movement of puppies from one litter to another must be recorded. -One puppy from "Megan's" litter was marked as died but was euthanized. Accurate records must be kept at all times. -The Record of Acquisition of Dogs and Cats on Hand (APHIS form 7005) is missing acquisition information for all adult dogs including the name and address of the person the dog was acquired from. The acquisition date was also missing for several adult dogs. -The Record of Acquisition of Dogs and Cats on Hand (APHIS form 7005) is missing the date of at least 3 adult dogs deaths. -Record of Disposition of Dogs and Cats is not being filled out for dogs that are sent to another licensed facility for breeding.

The licensee shall make, keep, and maintain an approved method of documentation which fully and correctly disclose all 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. The records shall include any offspring born of any animal while in his or her possession or under his or her control. The licensee must record all required acquisition and disposition information and have it accurately documented at all times. To be.

  • Duplicate puppy ID numbers

    The licensee is assigning official identification numbers to puppies shortly after birth and documenting them on a cage card. However the unique number is repeated for puppies of the same breed. In the case of two Rottweiler puppies sold on 8-December-2023, they were both males, black and tan and had the same ID number of RW-1. Failure to document each dog's unique identification number on required documents interferes with APHIS officials’ ability to identify animals and trace their movements. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records that fully disclose the official identification number of each animal. The licensee must ensure that the correct and unique official identification number is recorded on all required paperwork for each dog. To be.

  • No rodent pest control plan

  • Mouse feces in buildings

    Mouse feces was found in the adult dog building on the cart containing medications, cleaning solution and maintenance equipment. There was also mouse feces found around the garage door and along one adjacent wall. Mouse feces was also found in Barn #1 in the sink and on top of the microwave.

  • French Bulldog limping, treatment plan not followed

    The licensee failed to follow their Program of Veterinary Care plan for lameness in dogs. A french bulldog MC#933000320591069 was received approximately 2 weeks ago and was found to be lame at that time. The facility placed her singly in a whelping building and monitored the condition. The approved lameness protocol states "(w/o excess swelling, no more than 3 weeks pregnant, frank or excessive hemorrhage, not vocalizing in pain) 1-10 mg Dex depending on size". An additional paper gave dosage instructions for Dex. The licensee did not provide any medications and monitored the dog's condition with little to no improvement until the time of inspection. Failure to follow treatment plans and procedures as part of the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure adequate veterinary care is provided. Each dealer must follow an appropriate program of veterinary care for dogs that is developed, documented in writing, and signed by the attending veterinarian and must address the requirements for adequate veterinary care. To be.

  • Incomplete medical records

    The licensee is missing medical records detailing when problems are identified and details regarding how those conditions are treated. -Husky MC#5432255 has had intermittent diarrhea per the licensee but no other records were available other than a note about a Husky (no identification number) given Sulfatrim on 20-December-2023 and is missing the dose provided. -"Pearl" Pug MC#143774 was diagnosed with a small hernia on 7-July-2023 but it has been getting larger per the licensee statement.

    Food receptacles are not being cleaned and sanitized as often as needed. *One enclosure housing two adult dogs had contaminated water receptacle which appeared brown and opaque in color. *One enclosure housing one adult dog had buildup of cloudy gray organic material coating the interior of the food and water receptacle. *One enclosure housing one adult dog and five puppies had a plastic food bowl with excreta smeared on the interior and exterior of the receptacle. Puppies were observed eating from this bowl. Failure to properly clean and sanitize the bowls may result in the spread of infectious diseases, insects, pests, and odors that may affect the dogs' health. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs and cats must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks using one of the methods prescribed in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards.

  • French Bulldog crate with clutter

    In one area indoor housing three adult dogs there is an excessive accumulation of clutter that includes stacked furniture, discarded trash, and items being stored in plastic bags. In another indoor animal housing area, housing two adult dogs and three puppies, there is an excessive accumulation of discarded food containers, clothing, and household items. Portions of both cluttered areas are several feet high. There is clutter on top of a plastic crate housing one adult French Bulldog which included blankets, pizza boxes with food in them and various household items. Areas where trash and debris are allowed to accumulate can create areas that harbor pests and vermin. Accumulations of trash and discarded items can hinder cleaning and maintenance of animal areas. The licensee needs to remove the clutter from the general vicinity of the enclosures affected and establish and maintain a program that will ensure that the used materials are maintained or removed in a manner that will facilitate proper cleaning and pest control.

  • Live flies in housing areas

    Across the facilities in various structures housing 14 adult dogs and 13 puppies, there is an abundant presence of live flies. The flies were found in and around primary enclosures and the dog’s food and water sources. The facility does not have a program in place to control insects in the structures. The lack of a pest control plan for flies creates a disease hazard risk to the dogs. An effective program for the control of insects, external parasites affecting dogs and cats, and birds and mammals that are pests, must be established and maintained so as to promote the health and well-being of the animals and reduce contamination by pests in animal areas. The facility must create and maintain an effective pest control plan for flies. To be corrected by: 7-July-2026
