She can call it what she wants and deny, deny, deny but if there are only two people housing any number of dogs that are kept in a barn and bred every female estrus with no thought to health testing of the breeding dogs, no selection of breeding pairs for betterment of the breed with a full knowledge of genetics and temperament, no socialization, training, life enrichment, exercises and living the life of a beloved pet 24/7/365, it's a puppymill to me. But if you say that number of adult dogs was 206 plus puppies a few years back and if she's still going at it this day and age - I'd report her to the authorities and every agency and organization that I could.
