I think probably some of the dogs did stay in kennels a good deal of the time. They had large exercise areas and many of her dogs lived in the house with her and her husband. The puppies were in the basement of the house that was fully equipped to care for them. I had never seen so many dogs in one place. They had a large amount of property and a huge house but people who raise dogs have to kennel them in order to keep them from mating. It is the sad nature of the business. I don't think I would ever buy from a place like that again.!
It upsets me that it is some of the AKC show/breeders that are stopping legislation to control and contain puppy mills because they are afraid of the legislation effecting them also. I can certainly understand why after visiting that place. The dogs were all well kept but there were just too many of them!
