| No Puppy Mills Found an interesting website today while I was surfing. petshoppuppies.org Has anyone else used this site? They are tax exempt, and if you purchased your puppy from a pet shop, can do research to give you more information about the breeder. I imagine he's been very busy, but it's still kind of a cool site, thought I would share. I hope that's ok. Safiyah |

| Anytime. There is alot of good information available on this site, and seeing what really goes on is important to get a realistic view. I'm glad I came across this site before I selected my puppy, it will certainly help me to be better informed. Just like YorkieTalk... Safiyah |

| Thank you for posting this site. While I am fully aware of puppy mills and auctions I like how they have each state's lemon laws on buying a puppy. Very good information. We always have people come on after the fact and ask what they can do and directing them to their state laws might help. The sad part is very few states have lemon laws but it is a beginning.

| Hi, I am not sure if anyone knows this, but there is an auction site called www.pbtmarketplace.com that auctions puppymill dogs to pet stores. I came upon it once and think that it is very sad for those little dogs. I cannot believe that live animals can be auctioned either.
