What this dossier is

This is a report of the public USDA inspection record for this breeder. It quotes inspection reports verbatim, with the regulation cited for each finding. It makes no recommendation for or against this breeder. Read the quotes and the source reports, and decide for yourself.

Coverage note

This breeder was USDA licensed under certificate 42-B-0340. The APHIS portal now shows that certificate as Cancelled, status date July 15, 2026, so a USDA record exists for the period covered. If a breeder you are considering has no USDA record, that means the breeder is not USDA licensed. It does not mean the breeder is clean, and it does not mean the breeder is dirty.
