I posted this list in hopes it could become a sticky for people to check out.

Here is how some of the states break down for USDA breeders:

Missouri 1614
Oklahoma 575
Iowa 457
Kansas 428
Arkansas 345
Pennsylvania 247
Texas 208
Ohio 188
Nebraska 156
Indiana 119
South Dakora 109
Minnesota 104
Wisconsin 94

I realize all USDA breeders might not be bad but having worked with animals that are abused or have had no interaction with humans (puppy mill in AZ) I completely disagree with volume breeders. I believe that animals react just like human children do that do not have interaction at a young age. I also don't believe we need a surplus of over 3-5 million animals a year that are euthanized.
