Here's another perspective on the puppy mill problem. Maybe it's the system and support of the registries that allow them to flourish. Laws can only do so much....how about if those mill dogs couldn't get papers? Check this out....
"Another example: The FCI requires all its member clubs to prohibit the sale of puppies and dogs to, or through, any type of dog dealers or agents, especially pet stores, while the AKC and CKC happily give quantity discounts for registering larger numbers of puppies (which most often are these helpless little creatures manufactured in US and Canadian puppy mills)."
From this link....

Also, here's an interesting read, for those that haven't seen it before....
