I wasn't saying that all dogs that have ear mites come from puppy mills, just that it is more common in dogs that come from puppy mills. My vet actually told me that in her 15 years of being a vet she has only personally seen a handful of dogs with ear mites. Ear infections are much more common. Sorry if I was not clear about that. Either way, like you said, going to the vet to get a clear diagnosis and treatment is important.
