Puppymills / Petstores.
 

YT has so many new members joining, some of which come on here AFTER already buying a sick pup from a petstore, byb or puppymill. I thought it may be good if we could do a sticky on this. On one of the forums, I listed by state some of the puppymills investigated. There are so many more in existance. Also, Petstores that have pages of complaints on them. I thought maybe we could do a sticky with first describing the history of the Puppymill and how it came to be and then go from there and describe what a puppymill is and then from there list (As I did in the other forum) known millers by state and their aliase's as well as known petstores with a bad track record. We should probably include brokers with a bad track record as well as most of them are getting from mills either here or in other countries. I would be more then happy to take care of that thread and add new info. as it becomes available.

I really feel that if this prevents only just one person from buying from places like this then it was worth it. I hope it's something that YT will consider and again, it would be my pleasure to help with this thread and keep it updated, as I spend much of my time researching and putting the word out about places like this.

Thank you for consideration.
