Well said manu mill the mark. The only pup mill case to result in jail time in Texas involved the incaseration of a thought to be reputable AKC breeder who showed several breeds for over 20a years she and her husband abused neglected operated pip milla and inhumanely killed hundreds of dogs and pups ahow and breeding quality dogs the coowners of many if the dogs were able to claim them 400to were taken in an ASPCA bust and the end of it over 600the dogs were given to coowners or reacue oe the ASPCA in 3the states. Perhaps ppl know who I'm talking about she mainly bred and handled poodles a cockers. People were shocked a breeder handler with years of a great show record championing many dogs could be so cruel to them behind the scenes
