Absolutely no! Anyone can breed a dog with CKC papers, just like with AKC papers. It is up to you the potential puppy buyer to check out the person you are purchasing a puppy from. Do NOT buy from pet shops as most get their pups from puppy mills. Purchase a pup from a ethical breeder or adopt one from your local Animal Shelter or Pound.
Puppy mills do not focus on the welfare of their dogs or puppies but rather focus on profits. Many of the puppies purchased from puppy mills have not been treated well and the validity of their pureness of breed is not guaranteed.
they come from large "farms," so to speak, of dogs who are bred continuously until death.
Puppy mills are extremely crowded. The dogs and puppies are stuffed in cages.
Most chain-pet stores that sell puppies get their dogs from puppy mills. Many petstores (excluding animal shelters, of course) get their dogs from puppy mills.
Only from puppy mills. But maybe breeders can. There are mean people out their.
Some dogs in pet stores come from puppy mills. A puppy mill is a place where they breed female dogs and sell there puppies at pet stores. At puppy mills dogs live their whole lives there. Small wired cages are stacked on top of each other holding up to five dogs. The dogs paws are swollen from getting stuck in the wire! Plus in Pennsylvania you are allowed to shoot your dog. But not all pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills. So ask the manager or a worker who works at the pet store if the dogs came from a puppy mill. You should adopt a dog at the shelter instead of at a pet store. Written by Annesa
puppy mills produce half a million puppies per year. they are not to big because most dogs in puppy mills die because of cramped spaces.
NO dogs in puppy mills do not get exercise! Because puppy mills are cruel company's that do not care for the dogs heath, they are greedy people who only care for the money. The puppies that get special treatment because most of those puppies are going to a pet store. So the dogs do not get exercise, but the puppies do!
There are thousands of puppy mills for all kinds of dogs. Usually, puppy mills will breed purebred dogs because they sell for a higher price. However, some puppymills make "custom dogs" such as the cockapoodle (a cocker spaniel and poodle mix) which some sell for high price as well. Puppy mills are purely used for profit, and you can expect the most expensive, rare, and popular dog breeds to be bred there.
6-8 million dogs are killed each month from puppy mills/shelters b/c of food and behavior
Dogs are forced to breed over and over again. When they can't breed anymore they are abandoned or killed. Most drown the dogs because they don't want to waste the bullet. stop puppy mills by not buying from stores. adopting a dog from an animal shelter will improve its life and the money will not go to puppy mills.
Some of them. Some buy them from puppy mills, some have their own breeder, some buy them from breeders. You never know where those puppies will come from, so research the store as much as you can if you insist on going to the pet store.
