USDA is basically for commercial breeders. Mills don't usually follow anyone rules and are law breakers. So laws don't affect them anyway.

USDA dogs must be kept according to guidelines set more for farm type raising than companion raising.

I want my pup raised in the home with all the noise and socialization they can get. You can not keep your breeding dogs in the home under USDA.

I do not think it adds any credibility to a breeding program. People have their opinions about USDA breeders because of the guidelines of kennels, separation, and lack of socialization because of the rules.
