2.50(a)(2) (Non-Critical) – Time and method of identification.
A method of identification for puppies less than 16 weeks old, who are not yet microchipped, is not currently being used. The cage cards at the facilities do not individually identify puppies before they are microchipped. The puppies also do not have collars, nor are they identified on a APHIS 7005 form. Cage cards can be an accepted form of identification as long as: – The puppies be maintained as distinct litters at the facility where born, and • The cage card must be attached to the outside of the enclosure, and • Cage cards must be completed as soon as possible, preferably one or two days after each animal’s birth, and • Must include an individual ID number for each puppy, and • The cage card may only be used as identification until the puppies are sold or moved from the facility where they were born or reach 16 weeks of age, whichever comes first, and • If the cage card is used for both ID and record keeping purposes, it must be retained for one year after use. Proper identification of puppies is important for disease identification, treatment, and trace back, or in cases of theft or loss. Class “A” dealers shall identify all live dogs on the premises. Correct by ensuring proper identification is used, documented, and maintained for all dogs at the facility. Correct by May 12, 2024.
