2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A male Yorkie named “Hank” (ID 7E10015509) had an excessive accumulation of tartar and calculus on the upper teeth. There was no gum erosion or ulceration, and no loose teeth. Buildup of dental tartar is an early stage of dental disease, which can lead to oral infections and ulceration, loose or lost teeth, difficulty chewing/eating, and possibly systemic disease. “Hank” needs to be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian and treated appropriately to prevent disease progression.

3.1(f) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Two sections of the washdown over the shar-pei outdoor runs is not in good repair. This is allowing contaminated fluids to spill directly onto the outdoor portion of one enclosure housing two dogs. The front lip of the washdown is sagging, and the connection with the vertical drain at the back of the washdown is loose. This allows contamination in two different areas. The washdown needs to be secured and repaired to minimize the potential for contamination of the animals below.

2.40(b)(2) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
Two pregnant female French Bulldogs (Georgette, m/c #941000023150873 and Wilhelmina, m/c #941000022078299), were very thin on inspection. Both dogs have prominently visible lumbar vertebrae, visible ribs with slight fat cover on palpation, and pelvic bones that are easy to appreciate when standing. An abdominal tuck is present on both dogs, though less obvious on Georgette due to her being heavily bred. Both are routinely dewormed according to a schedule developed by the AV and currently being fed an adult maintenance diet. Pregnant and nursing females have increased nutritional requirements due to the additional demands on the body during pregnancy and lactation, and a poor body condition could negatively affect both the dam and the puppies. The licensee did not consult the attending veterinarian prior to inspection. The licensee must consult the attending veterinarian on developing an adequate feeding regimen for pregnant and nursing females to maintain a healthy body condition in those animals. To be corrected by: 12.9.25

2.50(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Time and method of identification.
At time of inspection a male Schnauzer (Otto) was not identified. Identification aids in record keeping and animal management. The licensee must identify the dog by an approved method, microchip, tattoo or official tag. To be corrected by: 12.11.25

3.13(a)(4) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
At time of inspection an adult male Schnauzer, Otto (no ID), was exhibiting some pendulous matting on his mid back and both hind legs. Matted hair can be painful and cause health issues if left unattended. The licensee must follow the program of veterinary care, which has been developed and approved by the attending veterinarian, to ensure appropriate grooming practices.

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
One randomly selected dog, a six-year-old female schnauzer, “Coal” (m/c # 941000023150749) had swelling and thickening of the skin within the ear canals of both ears, with a small amount of redness present in the left ear canal. Both ears also had a significant buildup of debris and discharge that ranged from a dark yellow to a dark brown color. The appearance of the ears is consistent with a chronic, recurring condition. The applicant stated that “Coal” had ear trouble in the past and that the ears had been cleaned approximately 1 week ago. The attending veterinarian had not been contacted for additional treatment instructions. Swelling and discharge in the ear can be a sign of infection and can result in pain or discomfort for the animal, which can worsen if not promptly treated. The applicant must consult with the attending veterinarian to ensure that an accurate diagnosis is obtained, then develop and follow an appropriate treatment plan. The applicant must document this information and make it available for inspector review upon request. The applicant must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times

3.1(c)(1)(i) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
There was a set of hinges on a dog door of the sheltered housing Schnauzer building that was exhibiting excessive pitted rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitation. The applicant must ensure that any surfaces that come in contact with the dogs be free of excessive rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitization, or that affects the structural strength of the surface.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Several of the dog doors in the Schnauzer and Poodle building had a build up of grime. Cleaning and sanitizing are an important part of animal husbandry and the lack of cleaning/sanitizing can increase the risk of disease hazards. The applicant must ensure that all surfaces of housing facilities are cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices.

3.6(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
Two enclosures of the sheltered housing facility for the Poodles were exhibiting varying size holes, one the size of a baseball and the other is approximately two inches in length and a half inch wide, in the dog door wall. The walls of primary enclosures must be kept in good repair to prevent injury of the animal(s) housed. The applicant must ensure that primary enclosures are kept in good repair.

3.6(a)(2)(x) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
At the time of inspection the elevated flooring of the primary enclosures in the whelping house ,housing 4 ten-day old Poodle puppies, was constructed of a durable plastic slatted material. The slatted flooring allowed the tiny feet and legs of the puppies to pass through the openings in the floor. This could injure the feet or legs of the puppies housed. The applicant must provide a flooring that does not allow the puppies’ feet or legs to pass though the openings.

3.12 (Non-Critical) – Employees
This facility does not have enough employees to maintain the minimum level of care required by the Animal Welfare Act. Currently the licensee is the full-time caregiver to the 42 adult dogs and 21 puppies with no additional employees. This includes but is not limited to cleaning, sanitizing, observing, and providing veterinary care. The number of citations (3) found in the last routine inspection report dated 12/4/2025 and on this current report suggest that the current number of employees is inadequate to provide the level of husbandry practices and care required in this subpart. Facilities without adequate staffing may cause animals to suffer from lack of care. The applicant must have adequate staffing to carry out the level of husbandry practices and care required in this subpart. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class A license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspection(s) or by 6.30.26 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. Additional Inspectors: Lindsay Livingston, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The record of acquisition provided reflected an inventory of 36 adult dogs. However, the inventory counted during the inspection totaled 39 adult dogs. Additionally, the applicant had dispersed of three adult dogs since the previous inspection and did not complete a disposition record for any of them. Inaccurate, missing, and/or incomplete records can hinder various aspects of animal husbandry including the tracking and tracing of animals. To ensure accurate record keeping the applicant shall maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the required information for the acquisition and disposition of animals. To be corrected by 7.12.26

3.6(a)(2)(iii) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
An enclosure of the outdoor portion of the sheltered facility, housing a litter of 12 week old Schnauzer puppies, had a large hole in the gravel that allowed the puppies to move freely to an adjacent enclosure. It was observed during the inspection that one of the young Schnauzers entered the enclosure through the hole. Animals not properly contained can cause unwanted harm or allow other animals to enter the enclosure. The applicant must repair the hole or relocate the animals to an enclosure that will contain the animals securely and restrict other animals from entering. To be corrected by 7.10.26

3.13(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility did not have medical records documenting the treatment of a 7-year-old female miniature schnauzer (“Maggie”, m/c # 941000022078325). The most recent physical exam form, dated 6/16/26, includes a notation from the Attending Veterinarian indicating that “Maggie” exhibited bilateral ear inflammation and prescribing treatment for her. The treatment appears to have been completed as prescribed, as evidenced by the lack of visible ear inflammation as observed by inspectors, but records of the treatments performed, and date of resolution were not documented in the dog’s individual medical record or available for review at the time of the inspection. Documentation of treatment for illness or injury must be kept and made available for APHIS officials to review and verify that adequate veterinary care is provided to dogs who are ill or injured. These records must include the identity of the animal, the date, a description of the problem, examination findings, test results, plan for treatment and care, and treatment procedures performed. To be corrected by: 7.12.26 This was a 2nd re-license inspection for a Class A license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. The applicant started the first inspection of the licensing process on 4/30/2026 and was given 60 days from that date (6/30/26) to complete the process. The applicant has not demonstrated compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and has not qualified for licensing at this time. The applicant must wait 6 months from 6/30/2026 to reapply. The license fee will not be refunded or applied to the next application for licensure. You may appeal this finding in writing by 7.9.2026. Appeals should be addressed to: USDA APHIS Animal Care, 2150 Centre Ave, Bldg B, Mailstop #3W11, Fort Collins, CO 80526-8117 or emailed to: animalcare@usda.gov Conducting regulated activities without a valid USDA license is a violation of the Animal Welfare Act.
