You will not see a mill.....they almost never attempt to sell pups from the location where they are produced. This site looks like a brokerage...and admits on the home page to brokering pups for 'licensed breeders'.
Reputable breeders sell their own pups, want to meet the owners and make sure their pups are going to good homes.
Red flags for mill brokerage sites include....many breeds available, from 'licensed' breeders (licenses are only required for high volume breeders),
'special reduced' prices, 't-cup', no pictures of the parents anywhere, location- unfortunately, PA is one the worst states for puppy mills, along with MO and OK.
These broker sites are getting better and better at marketing, going 'boutique', using celeb photos and mimicking reputable breeder policies.
I see an interesting contradiction..." We also know each and every puppy's distinct personality finding that some are a bit more snuggly while others may be more playful. This helps us place them with their perfect "forever family". "
but.... "All of our puppies are first-come, first-serve".
Prices are very cheap for 'purebred' yorks but high for 'designer mix' pups.
It would not be possible to sell pups at that price and break even, unless they are doing very high volume...if you google awepuppies you will get more than 2,000 hits....they are advertising everywhere.
