6. During the inspection of Respondent’s Kennel, the investigation revealed that the
greyhound roster was incomplete, and did not indicate the name and license number of persons
transporting the racing greyhounds.

3. Owner’s name;
4. Trainer’s name;
5. Kennel name;

number of persons transporting the racing greyhounds.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the Division Director enter an Order
imposing against Respondent one or more of the penalties specified in Sections 550.105 and
