although most puppy muills will not let you see where the dogs are kept, it might not even be on the property where you go to see the dogs.
Look at their website, if they have 20 puppies for sale and multiple breeds they are probably a mill. do they show the pedigrees of the adults?
Ask for references? or ask around? Google them
The looks and the smell of their home has nothing to do with it because like I said the dogs might not even be at that location. |
thank you.
what i am trying to find out is more specific things to look for in a good kennel.
i would prefer and think that it's nice if the dogs don't have to live in a kennel, but at the same time, i don't think having a kennel is an indication that it's not a good breeder. that's why i am trying to learn specific things to look for.
also would like to learn about reputable breeders, specifically, the difference between hobby breeder and larger scale breeder. what is considered expectable size breeding program before it boarderlines a puppy mill.
