3.6(c)(1)(i) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
The facility is not providing adequate space to all of its dogs. The facility is housing 4 weaned 11 week old corgi puppies together in a single enclosure that measures 30.5” x 29” (6.14sqft). All 4 corgi puppies are approximately the same size and a single puppy was measured at 17”, requiring 3.67sqft of floor space per puppy. When housed together, all four corgi puppies need a minimum floor space of 14.69sqft. In another enclosure measuring 30.5” x 30” (6.35sqft), the facility is housing 3 weaned 12 week old beagle puppies together. All 3 beagle puppies are approximately the same size and a single puppy was measured at 15”, requiring 3.06sqft of floor space per puppy. When housed together, all 3 beagle puppies need a minimum floor space of 9.18sqft. When dogs are overcrowded, they can’t make normal postural adjustments and may fight for resources. All dogs, including weaned puppies, must be provided a minimum amount of floor space in their primary enclosure that can be calculated by measuring the dog from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail and then adding 6”. The resulting number should be multiplied by itself to get minimum floor space in square inches and divided by 144 to get minimum floor space in square feet. When housing multiple dogs together, the enclosure needs to be the sum of all minimum floor space calculations for each dog. Correct by 7/25/25.

3.8 (Non-Critical) – Exercise for dogs.
The facility does not have a documented exercise plan and is not providing exercise opportunity to 1 dog. An 18 week old poodle puppy is being housed by himself in an enclosure that measures 30.5” x 29” ( 6.14sqft). The puppy measures 20”, which requires a minimum floor space of 4.69sqft. The puppy is not currently being allowed opportunity to exercise outside of his enclosure and his enclosure does not meet twice his minimum required floor space of 9.39sqft. Dogs that are not allowed adequate opportunity to exercise can develop mental distress and abnormal behaviors. All dealers must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs over the age of 12 weeks with the opportunity for exercise and is approved by the attending veterinarian. The plan can include group housing with minimum floor space for each dog, individual housing with twice minimum floor space, or access to an open area at a frequency and duration specified by the attending veterinarian.
