Puppy-Mills
People often hear about puppy-mills, both in magazines as well as on TV now, but what is a puppy-mill?
Puppy-mills are backyard breeders that breeds dogs just for the money and doesn’t care about the dogs at all. The dogs live in a in-humane way, usually outside in their own poop, mud and other disgusting circumstances.
Where do they sell their dogs?
Puppy-mills thrive on puppy stores. Puppy stores don’t care where they get the dogs from, as long as they are cheap and they can make some bucks. They don’t care that puppies often are sick and a lot of times die after they have come to their new home.
What to do if you want a healthy puppy from a good breeder?
Best place, if you are looking for a puppy is to check out http://www.pawsitesonline.com. They do not actually sell any dogs like other well known web sites. Instead they have well known, reputable breeders advertising their puppies that are for sale. That way you connect directly with a breeder that is not a puppy-mill. PawSitesOnline screens every breeder and every ad before it even goes into press online. That is more than any other dog web site does online.
Be really careful who you do business with. Go an extra mile and only buy from registered breeders.
