Wild Wind kennel is a commercial breeding kennel. THEY DO NOT take care of thier animals properly.in 1998 the U.S. Department of Agriculture fined Judie Hansen, doing business as the Wild Wind Kennel in Donnybrook, N.D., $3,000 and suspended her license for 30 days for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
The Kennel had numerous violations. Wild Wind Kennel was not meeting the minimum requirements and therefore was not working within the law!
Judie Hansen, decided by the Judicial Officer on December 14,1998, the Judicial Officer affirmed the decision by Judge Hunt (ALJ) that Respondent failed to comply with the Regulations by failing to allow an APHIS inspector access to her facility and records; that Respondent failed to comply with the Standards of care for animals: that Respondent failed to ensure that primary enclosures for animals had an elevated resting surface; that Respondent failed to keep the premises clean in order to protect animals from injury and to facilitate the required husbandry practices; that
Respondent failed to provide for the removal and disposal of animal waste, so as to minimize vermin infestation, odors, and disease hazards; that Respondent failed to construct and maintain primary enclosures for animals so as to provide sufficient space for the animals to make normal postural adjustments with adequate freedom of movement; that Respondent failed to keep the premises where housing facilities for dogs are located clean and to control weeds; that Respondent failed to store supplies of food in a manner that protects the supplies from spoilage, contamination, and vermin infestation; that Respondent failed to ensure that animal areas were free of clutter, including equipment, furniture, and stored material; that Respondent failed to design and construct housing facilities for dogs so as to be structurally sound and to maintain the facilities in good repair, to protect animals from injury; that Respondent failed to remove excreta from primary enclosures for animals as often as necessary to prevent contamination of the animals contained therein and to minimize disease hazards and to reduce odors; and that Respondent failed to construct indoor and outdoor housing facilities so as to be structurally sound, and to maintain them in good repair, to protect animals from injury and to contain them.
The Department's sanction policy places great weight upon the recommendations of administrative officials who recommended an $8,000 civil penalty, a 30-day suspension, and a cease and desist order. However, the Judicial Officer modified the recommended sanction, as follows: the Judicial Officer issued a cease and desist order, assessed Respondent a civil penalty of $4,300, and suspended Respondent's license for 30 days.
Wild Wind Kennel does not care for quality they care about quantity. They breed their dogs every heat cycle. I have heard that they have 300 dogs and puppies at a given time. They have an average of $16,000 puppies for sale at anytime of the year.
