Well what is your definition of a puppy mill. Mine is Dogs kept in kennels in buildings away from the house. Having many breeds of dogs. Those dogs cannot be socilaized and they definitely are not family pets. so IMHO that = puppy mill.
there are larger breeders that I do not consider to be puppy mills. If the dogs are kept inside their home and not in cages then I don't consider them to be puppy mills. I would call those commercial breeders.
But if they are unwilling to show you thier facility, then you can bet it is not very nice.
Those dogs lead terrible lives. Kept in tiny cage all of their lives, never knowing fresh air or sunshine, or companionship. Never allowed to run or play. The only time they can even touch another dog is when they are bred, then it is right back in the cage. It makes me soooooo sad
