Not sure if this is a coincidence or not.

Legitimate breeders are not the issue or the amount of money that someone charges for their puppies in NOT a reason to purchase from a puppymill.

Never-Ever-Under ANY Circumstance!

It does not matter if you have a puppy that is healthy and it came from a mill. That is not the point of putting puppymills out of business. The suffering and cruelty that goes on within the mills is the issue as well as all of the sick puppies that come from these places. Not only do some of these puppies huge medical issues there are also the many heartbroken owners that are forced to make decision about sick puppies. Some die, some are PTS, some are turned over to rescue for medical treatment and some are treated by their unsuspecting owners who made uneducated decisions to add a new member to their family. Take a look at any Yorkie rescue and you will see some of the breeding females that these places used and abused. They ALL are a mess and have huge medical issues from years of abusive over breeding. Many have genetic defects that have been passed on to their many litters. IMO anyone who knowingly makes a decision to purchase from a puppymill needs to educate themselves about puppymills. I believe that in order to "promote" something whatever it might be you need to be educated on the subject.
