In their Q&A section it says they don't allow people to visit the dogs, they don't post pics of the parents becuse the dogs don't like their picture taken, they ALWAYS have litters available, they ship 90% of their puppies, the dogs are not raised in their home - they have a separate kennel for them and employ people to take care of them during the day, the dogs are not potty trained in any way, and they even put on there that they breed females EVERY heat cycle because it is healthier!
Anyway, I have no experience with puppy mills so I'd like another opinion. Here is the link to their website North Country Kennels - FAQ's and information about purchasing a non-shedding puppy. - make sure you look in the Q&A section - that is where they state some pretty suspicious stuff. |
None of that makes them a puppy mill. It makes me sick when people can claim puppy mill on a place they have never even seen. I have a bought a puppy from them and they have a very nice, clean set up. A puppy mill is a place where dogs are kept in disgusting conditions, unhealthy and not cared for. I can say I never saw any of that there!!
Just because they have many breeds means nothing.. a breeder can breed one or 2 breeds and be what is called a "puppy mill"! North country is a large breeder yes, but they are not a mill in any sense of the word. Where is it written that only good breeders have their dogs in the house?
Stop judging people like this. I can assure you she has a 100% clean record because i personally checked her out when i bought my puppy from her.
