Also, teeth are often let go, and of course pregnancy is really hard on the female's teeth, and no care is given to them.
I also want to remind everyone, that millers are turning to the internet to sell, they sell to brokers also, who know how to market, and they know how to design adorable websites that will appeal to different types of customers. They will show pictures of wholesome families, and kids playing with dogs, and you think the puppy you're buying is raised in a warm, loving environment. Please don't be misled, the only way you can ensure you are not condoning the torture of millions of dogs a year is to see the kennel conditions for yourself, and encourage others to also do this. If a breeder won't let you see where the dogs are kept, find a different breeder! The puppy buyer can put the mills out of business in a few years if everyone would check out the breeder before buying a dog. Everyone has too many excuses, and say they are too busy to check out the breeder, or feel like they can learn enough by talking over the phone. Of course, this is ridiculous, the poor breeder knows what to say, and they aren’t going to admit to what they are doing.
