Oh noooooooo! Dont think that! I am sure there are facilities that operate like puppy mills, but there are many, many busionesses that train and work with dogs, that treat their dogs like family members. My cardiologist breeds/trains/sells/owns bird hunting dogs..."gun dogs"...he has a facility, a kennel, on his country property....he has an on site staff that train, exercise,vet, "groom", he even has an exercise physiologist on site that works with his dogs. He has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his "kennel" and he has devoted a large amount of his time and love to the sport of breeding and training and working with his dogs. There is absolutely nothing corrupt or cruel or wrong with these facilities!
