Pet Tip:

Puppy mills are mass breeding establishments that often produce dogs in conditions of filth, lack of shelter, overcrowding and insufficient food, water and veterinary care.  If you buy a puppy mill puppy, you contribute directly to the misery of the adult dogs who spend their entire lives as nothing more than puppy-producing machines.  Although not all dogs in pet shops are from puppy mills, most dogs bred at puppy mills do end up in pet shops.  Puppy mills continue to exist because people buy dogs from pet stores that sell puppies bred at these cruel establishments.  You can get a great pet and a great deal by working with a shelter or rescue group, but if you simply must have a purebred puppy, please go to these links and find out what you should know about your breeder before you make a purchase.
