I think that there are tons of people out there that don't know that you can get a dog from any where but a pet store. And while I won't get a dog from a pet store, I don't hold anything against people who do.
The whole puppy mill thing just drives me nuts though, and I think that pet stores are a very small part of their market. Puppy mill people are just everywhere. and sell there puppies in all sorts of different places, including a couple that have tried to sell puppies on YT. If I know of somebody looking for puppies on places like puppyfind I tell them to make sure to click on their name and see how many other dogs they are selling. It's amazing how many dogs some of those people have listed. One person had over 5 pages of puppies. I think that puppyfind should be responsible and turn these people in as a puppy mill. Also I warn people that just because a breeder has a web-site and the web site only has Yorkies on it that that doesn't mean that that is all that breeder breeds. I know of one person who had a different web-site for each of her breeds (like 5 different kinds). And on each site it sounded like she only breed that kind of dog. It just pisses me off.
Of course if there weren't any puppy mills out there to flood the market where would all these people wanting $200 Yorkies get theirs from.
