2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The facility is not maintaining adequate records of acquisition and disposition. Cage cards are used for acquisition records for litters of puppies, but the facility did not create a cage card for a litter of 5 French bulldog puppies born on April 2, 2026. Additionally, the cage cards do not contain all of the required information as a cage card for a litter of 7 English bulldog puppies born on March 8, 2026, is missing the individual puppy identification numbers. Accurate record keeping is essential so that APHIS inspectors can adequately identify the movement of dogs into and out of the facility. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records for forms which fully and correctly disclose the information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or which is transported, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer. The records shall include any offspring born to any animal while in his or her control. Correct by April 27, 2026.

3.1(c)(2) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
The facility does not adequately maintain surfaces, so they are easily cleaned and sanitized. Three primary enclosures housing 3 adult female dogs and 15 puppies contain whelping boxes that have excessive chew damage on the top surfaces of the walls of these boxes creating a roughened and jagged surface. Additionally, two of the primary enclosures housing 1 adult female dog and 5 puppies in each of the enclosures contain plastic gravity feeders that have excessive chew damage on the top surface of the feeders also creating a roughened surface. Excessive chewing and scratching of surfaces do not allow for the surfaces to be easily cleaned and sanitized which can harbor microorganisms and allow for disease transmission. All surfaces must be maintained on a regular basis. Surfaces of housing facilities – including houses, dens, and other furniture-type fixtures and objects within the facility – that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, must be replaced when worn or soiled.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility is not following the program of veterinary care for vaccinations. The program of veterinary care (Option 1) currently prescribes juvenile dogs will be vaccinated for distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis (DAPLP 7-way) at 12 weeks and then a booster at 14-16 weeks of age. A French bulldog born December 20, 2025, has not been administered a vaccine containing leptospirosis according to available medical records. Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the program of veterinary care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, leptospirosis, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the program of veterinary care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases.
