I have some of the most wonderful memories of selling puppies to some children. I had a little boy that has cancer and the Make a Wish Foundation asked him if he would like to go on a trip blah blah blah. He said he wanted a yorkie puppy they tried for months to change his mind but to no avail so they called me and I brought that child a puppy. That was one of the most heart felt moment of my life. I have some special needs children that are doing so much better with their handicaps since getting one of my babies. Now on the other hand someone that is keeping several dogs in cages the whole day long and them not getting the proper exercise is another. But, we have no idea how many dogs were in this house, if they are all well fed and cared for. I think that is the difference when I think puppy mill is a lot of helpless animals living in dirty cage being fed low quality food and not loved handled and walked. When someone is only breeding to make money and not for the love of the animal. So if you think there is something going on that shouldn't be I would check with the laws of your state and report them. They will go out and check to make sure all the dogs are up to date on their vaccines and are being cared for properly. I would much rather see someone raise a red flag than someone that sees something that isn't right with an animal and ignores it |
