Thank you, however, I don't believe they are a puppy mill, I don't believe that they are in it purely for profit. I really don't think they woke up one morning and said "lets raise hybrid puppies to make a lot of money." Here is a quote from their website. I know I can't change your mind about them, because they do breed muts as well as pure breads, but I don't think they are bad people or they are a "puppy mill"

About Us
**** O*** Kennels was establishied in 2005 after moving to a 32 acre farm here in Kentucky. We love this beautiful county life and will not ever move back to the cold weather of Northern Il. ! Nothing beats the farm life for sure. The farm has a few pleasure horses for trail riding. We also have a large flock of laying hens, fresh eggs each morning! Plenty of room for the kids to ride ATV's and fish in the ponds.
We take pride in the farm and in our kennel. It's a lot of work and very long hours, but it's what we love and it's the kind of life we want for our family.
We are dedicated to raising healthy and sound (physically and temperamentally) puppies.
Our dogs live in air-conditioned / heated buildings with all ground runs. All of our dogs are micro-chipped, AKC,UKC or APR registered, vet-checked regularly, and groomed regularly. We adhere to a schedule of breeding based on the health of the parents, not our pocketbooks.
We get to know each puppy, and want to match that puppy with the very best family for it. It's important to us that the puppy has a great new family.

Anyway. I've been doing a little research and most things that I read, is a puppy should not be taken away from its mother and litter mates until 8 weeks, for socialization skills. My puppy if I do get her will be two days shy of 9 weeks or a few days shy of 13 weeks depending on if it was born in June or July, I can't remember. If I do get this puppy and it is almost 9 weeks, what kind of problems can this cause? Every one just says its bad, and doesn't say why. I'm not here to argue or anything, I'm just trying to learn. I really appreciate everyone taking time to read this and reply.
