What is a puppy mill:
A puppy mill is a place
that breeds dogs for profit only, without a care to health, temperament or
behavior. Puppy mill puppies are almost always poor in health, and can often be
unstable of temperament. It is not unheard of for puppies to be sold as purebred
dogs, but are, in reality, mixed breeds that resemble the purebred.
Owners who buy from pet stores or puppy mills, even backyard breeders often face
serious illnesses requiring extensive veterinary care shortly after bringing the
dog home. In some cases the dog has long-term and ongoing problems.
