Puppy mill list........... I'd like to see the USDA list of puppy mills but I was unable to locate it on their site. Anyone have a direct link to the list? Thanks.:) |
Here ya go, a list of the USDA registered breeders. I am assuming this is always 'up to date.' http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/webs...ists/lista.pdf |
OMG my breeder was NOT on that list. Is that a good thing? :) |

To sell commercially a breeder must be USDA licensed...not being listed as a commerical breeder doesn't necessarily mean they are a reputable breeder. |
OMG!!! My Breeder is on this list. I feel so horrible. My husband bought me a puppy from this lady for Christmas and she died 14 days later. She sent me Mia (who very fortunately is healthy) as a replacement pup. I have to show hubby this when he gets home |

I've heard claims that just because you are a USDA registered breeder, that it doesn't neccessarily mean you are a miller or unethical, but I have yet to run accross one who doesn't fit the mold, IMO. The very requirements of USDA breeders themselves already tell me that if you are metting those requirements, I want nothing to do with you. |

Is that a link you looked up today? Or one you had saved? Mine came from prisoners of greed.... |
I looked up some of the breeders on the list, and they raise horses, some pigs. I think anytime you sell a certain number of offspring of any animal, you have to be listed with the United States Department of Agriculture. The USDA has certain minimum standards for livestock, and many people don't feel that dogs should be considered livestock, and the minimum standards aren't good enough. One of the USDA rules for dogs is that they must be kept in a separate outside kennel, and many breeders don't like this ruling because it means you are unable to keep the dogs in the house. |
So are these just Breeders that are USDA registered or definite puppymills? |
