I'd hesitate to go back. It seems to me that this breeder had an awful lot of dogs. Is that a puppy mill? I really don't know yet. I'm going to check on YT to see what other people think. |
Unfortunately yes that is a typical puppy mill. Next time you are looking for a puppy please look for reputable breeders only. Make sure you see the parents and ask lots of questions, such as; is there a health guarantee for at least a year, was the puppy bile acid tested, what defects run in their lines, etc. Also remember reputable breeders will ask you lots of questions too, since they want the best homes for their babies. One more thing, a reputable breeder will never let anyone else sell their puppies (like a pet store or a broker) since they really want to meet you and decide for themselves if their puppy will be a good fit for you.
Hope this helps!
