That's why commercial kennels were nicknamed "mills".

As I said, though, the term as come to be associated with the condition of the kennel, not just the volume of puppies produced.

The Hunte Corporation that Nancy mentioned above is a perfect example. They have state-of-the-art facilities, but the sheer volume of puppies they produce still makes them a "mill".
Lol, don't get me wrong, the Hunte Corporation buys their dogs from a variety of sources, and the one in their video was really nice, but they made the video. To get a better idea of the type of breeders Hunte buys from see this video. For those who aren't familiar with puppy mills I urge you to watch these videos. View Investigation Report
