| 8168 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 2.50(a) | 1 | Time and method of identification. | The Keeshond cited for veterinary care concerns during this inspection did not have any official identification. Correct identification facilitates the inspection process. In this case it facilitates the the ability to ensure the correct dog is being assessed for complaint care. Identification also helps track the movement of animals. All class "A'' dealers (breeders) must identify all live dogs on the premises. | |
| 8169 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 2.75(a)(1) | 1 | Records: Dealers and exhibitors. | The record of acquisition information (inventory) for dogs provided by the licensee accounts for 188 adult dogs. Inspectors counted 228 adult dogs on the premises during the inspection. The licensee had inventory information for 14 puppies. Inspectors counted 55 puppies on the premises during the inspection. Accurate acquisition/inventory information facilities the inspection process and ensures that dogs covered under the Animal Welfare Act can be traced. The licensee must make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the required 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 or exhibitor. The records must include any offspring born of any animal while in his or her possession or under his or her control. | |
| 8170 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.1(a) | 0 | Housing facilities, general. | There is a hole in the divider wall between two sheltered enclosures in the outdoor portion of building 7. The resulting edge of the plastic wall appears sharp and allows the dogs to stick their noses into the next enclosure. The dogs were seen barking at each other through this hole. This hole in the enclosure wall could cause injury to the dogs via the resulting sharp edge or from fighting with a dog in the next enclosure. The licensee must ensure that housing facilities for dogs are designed and constructed so that they are structurally sound. They must be kept in good repair, and they must protect the animals from injury, contain the animals securely, and restrict other animals from entering. To be corrected by 9 May 2023. | |
| 8171 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.1(c)(1) | 0 | Housing facilities, general. | **There are wood enclosure posts and supports that are constructed of wood that are chewed, cracked and splintered in places. These surfaces can not be readily cleaned and sanitized. **The licensee is housing some dams and their puppies in the house with the pet dogs at the time of the inspection. The wood floor of the room housing all of the dogs is soiled with grime and excreta and does not appear to be able to be readily cleaned and sanitized. Inability to house dogs in housing facilities that are clean and able to be sanitized can contribute to disease transmission. The licensee must ensure that surfaces of housing facilities must be constructed in a manner and made of materials that allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized, or removed or replaced when worn or soiled. To be corrected by 16 May 2023. | |
| 8172 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.3(b) | 0 | Sheltered housing facilities. | There was a strong odor of urine and ammonia in the large dog building. This building has no windows, fans or vents to facilitate ventilation. Inadequate ventilation can lead to respiratory problems in all animals. The licensee must ensure that the enclosed or sheltered part of sheltered housing facilities for dogs must be sufficiently ventilated when dogs or cats are present to provide for their health and well-being, and to minimize odors, drafts, ammonia levels, and moisture condensation. Ventilation must be provided by windows, doors, vents, fans, or air conditioning. Auxiliary ventilation, such as fans, blowers, or air-conditioning, must be provided when the ambient temperature is 85 °F (29.5 °C) or higher. To be corrected by 9 May 2023. | |
| 8173 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.6(c)(2) | 0 | Primary enclosures. | The licensee has approximately 20 indoor house dogs. As of the time of inspection, there were 2 puppies and their mothers being housed in the house as well. The puppies were loose in the same room as all of the adult dogs. The two puppies were obviously from different litters as evidence by the difference in size and development but were being guarded by one female dog. The licensee stated this dog had taken one of the puppies from the other mother. Housing dams and their litters with other adult dogs can result in injury to the puppies and conflict between the dams. The license must ensure that bitches with litters may not be housed in the same primary enclosure with other adult dogs, and puppies under 4 months of age may not be housed in the same primary enclosure with adult dogs, other than the dam or foster dam.

| 8174 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.9(a) | 0 | Feeding | Insects were found crawling on the kibble in the food storage bin being used to feed dogs in building 4. Contaminated food can have decreased nutritive value and be unpalatable for the dogs. The licensee must provide food that is uncontaminated, wholesome, palatable, and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain the normal condition and weight of the animal. To be corrected by end of the day on 3 May 2023. | |
| 8175 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.11(b)(2) | 1 | Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control. | The self-feeders in the large dog building have a build-up of grime and food debris on the inside of the "bowl" section in contact with the food. Also in the big dog building, the edges of the water buckets are chewed and soiled. These chewed edges prevent correct cleaning and sanitization. Food and water receptacles that are not cleaned and sanitized sufficiently can plan a role in disease transmission. The licensee must ensure that used 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. To be corrected by 9 May 2023. | |
| 8176 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.11(d) | 0 | Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control. | Rodent droppings and excessive numbers of insects were seen in buildings 1, 4, and 7. The insects were both dead in traps and on surfaces and alive in the buildings. Additionally, there were live mice and rodent holes seen in the flooring of the big dog building. Inadequate pest control programs can lead to unsanitary conditions. Also pests can contribute to disease transmission. The licensee must establish and maintain an effective program for the control of insects, external parasites affecting dogs and cats, and birds and mammals that are pests, so as to promote the health and well-being of the animals and reduce contamination by pests in animal areas. To be corrected by 16 May 2023. | |
| 8177 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.12 | 0 | Employees | The licensee stated multiple times that she was unable to groom the number of dogs at the facility in a time frame that keeps all the dogs' hair coats clean, healthy and free of matting. This and the other non-compliances recorded in this and past inspections indicates that the licensee does not have enough employees to provide the husbandry required for this number of dogs. Inadequate numbers of employees can result in substandard care for the dogs. The licensee must ensure that there are employees to carry out the level of husbandry practices and care required in this subpart. To be corrected by 9 May 2023. | |
| 8178 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.13(a)(2) | 1 | Veterinary care for dogs. | The licensee has documentation from the Attending Veterinarian (AV) dated 1/27/2023 that states the dogs were vaccinated when the AV examined them on 11-22-21. Also included with the documentation dated 1/27/2023 was a statement from the AV that the "yearly inspection/consultation contract" was preformed at that time. The inspector called the AV and verified that the complete physical exams of the dogs were not completed at the 1/27/2023 visit. The dogs at this facility had a physical exam most recently performed on 11-22-2021 and therefore less frequently than once every 12 months. Yearly physical exams by the AV ensure that medical problems are detected and addressed. The licensee must ensure that a complete physical examination from head to tail of each dog by the attending veterinarian in completed not less than once every 12 months. | |
| 8179 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.13(a)(3) | 1 | Veterinary care for dogs. | The Program of Veterinary Care (PVC) states that adults would be tested randomly when presented to the hospital or 10 adult dogs would be tested randomly. When asked for this documentation, the licensee presented six heartworm tests that had been preformed. This does not satisfy the heartworm sampling requirements stated in the PVC. The PVC also does not state a sampling requirement for other parasites including intestinal parasites. Inadequate plans for sampling of parasites is a human health hazard for the purchasers of the puppies and for the other dogs in the facility. The licensee must have and follow a sampling and treatment plan for parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. | |
| 8180 | 2b2459b9c62d040e | 3.13(b) | 0 | Veterinary care for dogs. | The licensee does not have compliant medical records for the dogs. **The licensee had 6 dogs tested for heartworm disease. Her proof of that sampling was to provide the actual test kits with the dog's name, sex and breed written on the surface. This does not provide the animal's identification number, the dates of the testing, or reliable results of the testing. **The licensee does not have medical records to document the administration of all vaccines and deworming for the puppies on the premises. **The physical exams performed on 11/22/21 for the adult dogs present at that time are not documented with the identity, breed, sex, and age of each dog. Inadequate medical records, does not allow assessment of adequate veterinary preventative care or other necessary veterinary care for medical problems. The licensee must keep copies of medical records with all the required information listed in this section for dogs and make the records available for APHIS inspection. To be corrected by 16 May 2023.
