I don't see how every dog would get the attention it deserves but maybe he has a karge staff who interacts with the dogs. I found this link interesting reading~ It has another link to "What you can do if you think you have discovered a puppymill". Check it out if you are interested.

Puppymill should NOT mean something different to many people but when I see posts like THIS one - it sure sends the wrong signal. I don't know ONE SINGLE person who would say THAT is acceptable living conditions for dogs.
LOOK At your OWN yorkie - would YOU want them in there ? I bet not.
Not to sound rude - I'm amazed at this post - but THAT IS A MILL. You think thats immaculate ... A DIRT FLOOR ? Long rows of CAGES is acceptable ? Dogs kept outside ?
and the worst RED FLAG -
SELLING TO PETLAND.. who is the largest buyers of MILL Puppies ...That isn't enough to convince you that this is a MILL ?
OF course the guy talks a good talk - but NO one can socialize ALL THOSE dogs ...it's impossible - they just WANT OUT of the cage .....They can say whatever they want in their contracts - go try to enforce one and see what happens -
You can bet those guys have their contract written so that THEIR butts are covered and I won't believe for a minute that they sell healthy puppies -
PETLAND SELLS MANY SICK PUPPIES - if they get them from THIS place - then let's do the math and say it for what it is - A PUPPY MILL making money off the backs of poor female dogs.
I can't fathom anyone defending places like this - I don't get it at all - those poor dogs have NO LIFE at all - they sit and breed and die. What kind of life is THAT?
