They will still exist but will be made to hide their operations. This could make it worse for the dogs, if that's imaginable. I think education and awareness is the answer and shows like Oprah's will at least make a lot of people aware though that show alone isn't enough to really educate people but it will probably draw the biggest ever for the subject. Hey, it's a start. and all animal lovers should do their part, too.

Glad to see you are posting this.
I would be leary of this because you are actually agreeing not to use a site like YTs featured breeders and so on to find a pup. And you can't assume you think they are saying this or that.
I wouldn't have a few of my show dogs if I had not come across a webpage and made contact with the breeder. I was careful but if they had not had a webpage I would have never known they existed.
I agree 100% puppymills MUST be Shut down.
