USDA-Licensed Dog Breeders in Tennessee
Browse all 9 active USDA-licensed dog breeders and dealers in Tennessee. Each entry links to a full profile with inspection history from the USDA APHIS public database.
Note: Tennessee does not require a state-level breeder license, but federal USDA rules still apply to breeders with more than 4 breeding females who sell dogs sight-unseen. See Tennessee licensing rules for details.
About these licenses: USDA Class A (breeder) and Class B (dealer) licenses are issued under the federal Animal Welfare Act and cover many kinds of animals — not just dogs (for example cats, rabbits, and other regulated species). A licensee shown here holds a USDA license but may breed or deal in animals other than dogs, so inclusion in this database does not necessarily mean the licensee breeds dogs. Always verify a breeder's species, status, and details directly with the licensee and with USDA APHIS (opens in new tab) .
