You should call your county humane society altho I suspect the one where you live won't be much help. there is a lot of info on here about puppymills. just use the search feature. i don't think a person that has five or six females is a puppymill provided their dogs have been tested and are clean and healthy with nice living quarters. But if they are putting out sick dogs and breeding the poor females to death, no adequate housing and no testing on the females they are puppymills. many other things are also included in puppymills. Also i am very suspicious of people having many, many breeds. i have asked you to pm me and I would help you with your program. I can at least tell you who to stay away from where you live and how to go about improving your own program. i believe you are sincere but I know of another person that has offered to help you also that lives close and so far no response from you.
