IMO, there are puppy mills and there are dirty, filthy puppy mills. To me, any facility that mass produces dogs for profit, where the dogs are kept in cages or kennels for the majority of their lives is a puppy mill...no matter how clean or modern the facility is. I would prefer to get a dog from a breeder where I know the dog has recieved one on one tender love and care, inside the breeders home where the dog is valued for more than just how much money they can make. |
