Yes to the barn and yes and no to the inspections.
USDA inspections are done to USDA affiliated breeders. There is also animal inspectors but they are only required to go to licensed kennels. unlicensed kennels get no inspectors. You are only required kennnel license if you sell or have over a certiain amount of dogs.
I have seen PILES of dogs in cages and stalls and also just the type where they only are small breeders with just a few dogs who get treated just like regular farm type animals . There's clean hay and clean food and maybe 2 females and a male who they breed once a year. |
