My puppies won't be raised under these conditions, neither will my poodle live
What does USDA Licensed Facility Mean?
Living under USDA licensing is NOT an option for the average retail seller.
The average house cannot be converted to a USDA compliant facility. Federal
engineered standards for licensed facilities dictate enclosure sizes,
sanitation, surfaces that are impervious to moisture, ventilation,
bio-hazard control, veterinary care, exercise, temperature controls, waste
disposal systems, diurnal lighting, drainage systems, washrooms, perimeter
fencing, as well as transportation standards for regulated animals. It does
not matter how well you think you care for your animals, Federal regulations
are not flexible and do not allow for your own discretion. You must strictly
adhere to what the regulations and your inspector say are acceptable
equipment, care, and husbandry practices.
* The USDA license will classify you as a commercial business. You
will need to know the allowed uses for your property in the current zoning
and land use regulations. There may be minimum acreage requirements for
commercial land uses.
* You will need to know what the required setbacks are. In land use,
a setback is the distance which a building or other structure is set back
from a street or road, or other things like fences and property lines. There
may also be limitations on the size and height of the building you need to
set up for your animals. Building permits will be required.
* Separate facility will be needed for females within two weeks of
whelp.
* In order to bring female into your home for whelping or birthing
the room used must meet USDA standards
- impervious to moisture - meaning tile floor and vinyl-coated walls.
* Kittens under 4 months of age may not be housed in the same primary
enclosure with adult cats, other than the dam or foster dam.
* Separate facility meeting USDA standards will be needed for puppies
(they cannot be with adults).
* NO breeding stock allowed to run loose in your home unless it meets
the requirements. Your house is not
impervious to moisture, so therefore not up to USDA code.
* All surfaces touched by animals must be waterproof and sterilized
every two weeks with your choice of live steam under pressure, 180 degree
water and detergent with disinfectant, or a combination
detergent/disinfectant product.
* Use of cat trees/scratching posts may need approval from your
inspector as they are not impervious to moisture, difficult to sanitize, and
will need frequent replacement if allowed.
* Pens, runs, and outdoor housing areas using gravel, sand, or earth
which cannot be sanitized with live steam or detergent must be sanitized by
removing and replacing the material as necessary in order to prevent odors.
This would be at the discretion of the inspector.
* Facilities must be equipped with disposal and drainage systems that
are constructed and operated so that animal waste and water are rapidly
eliminated and animals stay dry.
* Facilities must provide readily accessible washrooms, basins, or
sinks.
* Facilities must provide evenly diffused natural or artificial
lighting on regular diurnal cycles.

LIVING WITH USDA LICENSING
* You must have a separate food preparation area from your kitchen.
Food cannot be left in bags, but must be stored in airtight containers.
* Temperature of the kennel facility must be within the allowed range
(45-85 degrees) at all times and a daily high-low record maintained.
* You must employ a veterinarian under formal arrangements which must
include regularly scheduled visits to your premises and a written program of
veterinary care.
* You must hire sufficient staff to carry out and maintain the
required level of husbandry practices and care required in the regulations.
* If you are licensed and inspected locally or by the state, you are
NOT exempt from federal licensing and regulation. You would be required to
carry both licenses and meet all requirements.
Living With USDA Inspections and Being "Written Up" For Violations
The 60 plus pages of current USDA standards as written are designed for
research labs and commercial facilities where animals are bred and raised as
a business for resale. The regulations were not designed for small part time
breeders or mom and pop kennels working out of their homes.
* Breeding is your hobby, not your livelihood, but you have enough
animals that you cannot meet any exemptions. You are at work when the
inspector comes, so you are written up for not being there. Fines can be up
to $10,000.00.
* The only one who can allow an inspector to conduct an inspection of
a kennel is the person named on the license or a designee that is listed as
being allowed to accompany the inspector in the absence of the licensee. In
the absence of either, it is listed as a violation when the inspector shows
up unannounced to conduct an inspection.
* Broken kennel wire? Dirty windows? Lid off a food container?
Clogged drain that created a puddle of standing water. Footprints in your
kennel building on a rainy day? All of these can get you "written up" for a
violation. Three write ups and you will be fined.
* Inspectors will always find something to write you up for. They
have to or else they will be accused of not doing their jobs.
Invasion of Privacy or "Hi, I'm from the government, and I'm here to see if
you've scooped your kennel runs this morning"
Every violation write-up you receive is public information and can be
obtained from USDA through the Freedom of Information Act. Efforts to
protect such lists from public disclosure have failed.
We do know that the animal rights activists already compile lists of
breeders from referral sources, show catalogs, and advertising to give to
enforcement authorities. They also do their own sting operations, calling
breeders to see if they have puppies available, do they know anyone else who
does, etc. The proposed rule will create tens of thousands of new USDA
licensed "dealers." All new dealer names and precise addresses will be
posted on a USDA website for every animal rightist zealot to access.

Furthermore, both HSUS and ASPCA offer "bounties" for breeders. These
organizations encourage vigilante actions and how much easier they will be
once self-appointed inspectors are equipped with USDA provided dealer
address lists. It will only take a couple of bounty-inspired incidents to
render the dog-breeding community completely terrorized. How long do you
think it will take until all breeders are vanquished -- either by direct
assault from these groups or willingly leaving out of fear?
