Washington

Washington has a small number of USDA-licensed dog breeders, located in places like Lyman and Woodinville. Washington also caps how many intact dogs a commercial kennel may keep, which keeps the state's commercial dog breeding industry small relative to other states.

This page lists every USDA-licensed dog breeder in Washington that Pawthenticity tracks. We currently have 2 breeders on file. Each breeder profile includes the full USDA inspection history — kennel size, any non-compliant items found by federal inspectors, license status, and the USDA license number itself. You can search by name or city, or sort by kennel size or number of citations to focus on what matters most to you.

Before you buy a puppy from a Washington breeder, it's worth pulling up their USDA inspection record. A USDA license alone doesn't tell you much about a kennel — only that the breeder is registered with the federal government and subject to inspections. The actual inspection history is what shows whether a breeder has had repeat issues, whether their dog count is stable or growing, and whether they've changed license numbers over time. Pawthenticity makes the Washington USDA records searchable in one place so you can compare kennels, spot patterns, and ask the right questions before bringing a puppy home.
