Potential puppy buyers may want to check this list for potential breeders.
Some USDA Breeders are
volume breeders and could be Puppy Mills who sell to Pet Stores (remember to
never buy a puppy from a pet store!), brokers, and online. This does not mean
all USDA breeders are Puppy Millers, however,
if a buyer finds their potential breeder on this list, it warrants investigating their breeder further to ensure they won't be buying from a Puppy Miller.
The intent of providing this list is to increase the buyer's chances of purchasing a puppy from a Cruelty Free Breeder.
