2.40(b)(2) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A 12-year-old-female Dachshund named “Vashti” had not received veterinary care for her medical problems. The licensee stated that she had been attacked by another dog about one month earlier, so he had moved her into an enclosure by herself. However, he did not have her examined by a veterinarian even though the licensee stated that she had not improved with time. At the time of the inspection, the dog was lethargic, moved about very little, and was extremely thin with a wasp-waist and visibly prominent ribs, vertebra, and hip bones. She had multiple areas of missing hair over her head, legs, body, and tail with dry, flaky skin. Many of these areas also had lesions with yellow crusty material and/or open, reddened sores. Both elbows had missing hair with crusty yellow material and dried blood. Both hips had quarter-sized lesions with missing hair, thickened skin, and open moist sores with a yellow discharge. Untreated medical problems can worsen with time, can be painful, and can affect the overall well-being of the animal. The licensee must have this dog examined by a veterinarian for diagnosis, must follow the veterinarian’s treatment plan, and must keep medical records for inspection. TO BE CORRECTED BY JANUARY 18, 2023. NOTE: The licensee called his veterinarian during the inspection to schedule an appointment for the dog.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Four enclosures, housing a total of 7 dogs, had a buildup of dirt and grime on the walls and floors in the sheltered building. Dirt and grime can attract pests and can harbor microorganisms that can cause disease in dogs.

3.4(b) (Non-Critical) – Outdoor housing facilities.
Two outdoor enclosures, housing a total of 7 adult dogs, did not provide sufficient shade for the dogs. The enclosure housing 4 dogs had no shade at the time of the inspection. The enclosure housing 3 dogs had about 3 inches of shade but was not a large enough area for all 3 dogs to be protected from the sun. Shade is necessary to protect the dogs from the direct rays of the sun for their health, comfort, and well-being. The licensee must ensure that in addition to the shelter structures, one or more separate outside areas of shade are provided. Shade must be provided throughout the day and must be a large enough area to contain all the animals at one time. TO BE CORRECTED BY APRIL 12, 2023.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Two enclosures in the whelping building had excessive amounts of fecal material on the floors of the inside and outside of the enclosures to the point that the dogs could not avoid stepping in the feces. One enclosure contained 4 weaned Corgi puppies and the other enclosure contained a female Dachshund and her 5 puppies. The towels used for bedding in the Corgi enclosure were dirty and soiled. There was also dirt and grime on the inside walls of the enclosures and on the outside of the doors used by the dogs. Feces, dirt, and grime can harbor organisms that can affect the health of the dogs. The licensee must ensure that cleaning and sanitization are done as frequently as necessary to prevent excessive accumulation of feces, to prevent soiling of the dogs, and to reduce disease hazards. To be corrected by October 5, 2023. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n

2.75(a)(1)(i) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The Record of Acquisition of Dogs on Hand (APHIS form 7005) was missing the addresses of the people from whom 6 dogs were purchased. Properly completed acquisition records are necessary for identification of dogs to facilitate record- keeping requirements for inventory, disposition, transport, and healthcare. The licensee must update the Record of Acquisition and maintain the record on a regular basis so that it always has accurate information regarding acquisition, identification, and disposition for all dogs. TO BE CORRECTED BY NOVEMBER 10, 2023.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Housing facilities, general.
An enclosure in the whelping building housing two adult Lhaso Apso had excessive amounts of fecal material and urine on the floor. An outdoor enclosure housing 4 weaned Corgi puppies had an excessive amount of feces. The licensee stated that it had been 2 days since he had picked up feces. There was also excessive dirt and grime on the outside of the door of the enclosure housing the 2 Lhaso Apso as well as an enclosure housing one adult Weimaraner and an enclosure housing an adult Dachshund. Feces, dirt, and grime can harbor organisms that can affect the health of the dogs. The licensee must ensure that all enclosures are spot-cleaned for feces daily and that cleaning and sanitization are done as frequently as necessary to prevent excessive accumulation of feces, to prevent soiling of the dogs, and to reduce disease hazards.

3.1(e) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
The open supply of dog food was being stored in a leakproof container in an open shed; however, the lid was bent to the point that it no longer fit on the container. The dog food was exposed even with the lid sitting on top of the container. Unprotected dog food can be contaminated by pests such as insects, birds, and mammals. The licensee must ensure that open supplies of food are kept in leakproof containers with tightly-fitted lids to prevent contamination and spoilage. TO BE CORRECTED BY NOVEMBER 4, 2023.

3.4(b)(4) (Non-Critical) – Outdoor housing facilities.
An adult male Boxer, an adult male Weimeraner, and two adult Lhaso Apso did not have sufficient bedding in their outdoor shelters. There was straw in each shelter, but not enough to cover the floor. At the time of the inspection, the ambient temperature was over 50 degrees F; however, according to the website for the National Weather Service, the temperature the night before this inspection was below 35 degrees F. Inadequate bedding can result in the dogs becoming too cold, possibly resulting in stress, pain, frostbite, and medical conditions from being unable to control their body temperature. The licensee must provide clean, dry bedding material in outdoor shelters whenever the ambient temperature is below 50 degrees F and must provide additional clean, dry bedding material when the ambient temperature is 35 degrees F or lower. TO BE CORRECTED FROM THIS POINT FORWARD ON NOVEMBER 2, 2023.

3.10(a) (Direct) – Watering
An adult male Boxer did not have water to drink at the time of the inspection. The water receptacle was overturned inside the shelter and there was no water residue inside the shelter or inside the receptacle. When the licensee filled the receptacle with water the dog drank almost continuously for about a minute, indicating intense thirst. A lack of water can be painful, stressful, and can lead to medical conditions from dehydration. The licensee must ensure that all dogs have continual access to potable water at all times. TO BE CORRECTED FROM THIS POINT FORWARD ON NOVEMBER 2, 2023. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Housing facilities, general.
In the whelping building, there was excessive dirt and grime on the outside of the doggie doors for an enclosure housing an adult Weimaraner and an enclosure housing an adult Dachshund and her 4 puppies. Dirt and grime can harbor organisms that can affect the health of the dogs. The licensee must ensure that cleaning and sanitization are done as frequently as necessary to prevent soiling of the dogs and to reduce disease hazards. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n

3.4(b) (Non-Critical) – Outdoor housing facilities.
***Eight adult dogs in outdoor housing did not have any shade at the time of the inspection. Several of the dogs were panting intermittently. A lack of shade can cause dogs to become too hot, resulting in discomfort, heat stress, and possible heat stroke. The licensee must ensure that one or more separate areas of shade are provided at all times of the day and that the area(s) of shade are large enough for all animals in the enclosure at the same time to protect the dogs from the direct rays of the sun. TO BE CORRECTED BY APRIL 30, 2024. ***An adult male Boxer had an outdoor shelter that was too short to allow the dog to stand upright in the shelter. Shelters that are too small cause discomfort and stress and may not fully protect the animal from the elements. The licensee must ensure that shelters are large enough to allow each animal to sit, stand, lie, and turn about freely. TO BE CORRECTED BY APRIL 25, 2024. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n

3.10(a) (Direct) – Watering
Five adult Corgis were seen in an enclosure by inspectors with no water. The inspection occurred at 11:18am and the licensee stated that he had given the dogs water that morning before he went into town, but they had knocked it over and he was just now coming back out to do chores. When the licensee was providing water, the dogs were seen gathering near the hose to try and get at the water and then drank from the bowl continuously for at least 1 minute. Failure to provide potable water could have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the dogs. The license must provide potable water to the dogs and ensure they have access to potable water at all times. To be corrected by: The licensee provided each dog with water at the time of inspection and must continue to provide water continuously for all dogs from today 08 April 2025 on. The inspection and initial exit interview were conducted with the licensee on 08 April 2025. The licensee acknowledged understanding of the correction date at the time of the inspection. The exit interview was completed on 09 April 2025. Additional Inspectors: Alexandra Friedman, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n

2.40(b)(2) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
2.40 (b)(2) Direct When the inspectors were looking at the enclosure housing the two Lasha Apsos they noticed that the male (Cash, approximately 10 years old microchip ending in 2837) was scooting his butt and whimpering as well as trying to bite at his rear end. When asked to look at him the inspector noticed a big fecal/hair ball the size of a baseball ball hanging from his anus. There was also a fecal/hair ball the size of a golf ball hanging in front of his anus where the only way to visualize his anus was to physically lift away the fecal/hair ball. Upon looking at the anus the inspector noticed it was very red and inflamed. Poor coat care can lead to matting close to the skin such as the collection of fecal material which can lead to pain, discomfort and have a negative impact on the animal’s well-being. The licensee must have this dog evaluated by a licensed veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and to establish an effective treatment plan. The licensee must ensure all dogs receive adequate veterinary care at all times. To be corrected: April 18, 2025

3.1(a) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
When starting the inspection, the inspectors noticed a Dachshund (Kye, approximately 2-year-old male with microchip ending in 6113) that was loose behind the first enclosure they were looking at. One of the inspectors asked the licensee if she was out last time to which the licensee told them no, she had dug out of her enclosure yesterday morning. The licensee also stated that he had put concrete blocks in front of the hole in the enclosure and they were in the process of catching her. Enclosures that don’t contain animals can impact the heath and well-being of the animal, can cause injury and potentially lead to death. The licensee must ensure that the enclosures for all dogs are kept in good repair and contain the animals securely. To be corrected by: April 24, 2025 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. Additional Inspectors: WILLIAM HEINE, ANIMAL CARE INSPECTOR n

No violations recorded (clean inspection).

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Housing facilities, general.
During the inspection several enclosures in the sheltered building, housing ten adults and five puppies were excessively dirty. On the outside portion two enclosures had accumulated feces covering approximately 75% of the floor space. After announcing themselves and putting on booties inspectors noticed the licensee scraping out feces from these pens. On the inside portion there were numerous cobwebs and grime on the wires of the enclosures and feed containers. Also, in at least one pen it was noticed to be visibly damp and a layer of brown grime appearing to consist of hair, mud and feces covering the flooring. Feces, dirt, and grime can harbor organisms that can affect the health and well being of the dogs. Hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact must be spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with §3.11(b) of this subpart to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. The licensee must ensure that cleaning and sanitization are done as frequently as necessary to maintain cleanliness. To be correct by: July 22, 2025 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. Additional Inspectors: Lindsay Livingston, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n
