Sadly, most people who buy from puppy mills don't even know the conditions that their puppies are coming from. Either they bought the dog from a pet store or the breeder will meet you someplace other than their house. It's a HUGE red flag if the breeder is unwilling to let you see their house/kennels etc.
I wouldn't say that someone selling a dog as a teacup necessarily means it's a puppymill breeder...but it does mean that the breeder is either a.)misinformed and doesn't know much about the breed or b.)is just using as a gimmick to sell puppies. Neither situation is good. |
