Because most "puppy mills" are illegal it would be difficult to hazard a guess but because there is a demand for certain breeds of dogs and the market for these pups is lucrative there are far too many.
I have read many different things, but so far, i find most commonly, between 6,000-8,000!
there are an estimated 4,000 puppy mills in the U.S.

I think it depends on how many are killed.

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.
A typical puppy mill can house from 500 to over 100,000 puppies at one time. It all depends on the size of the operation, really.
Many people run puppy mills. If you ever go to a petshop named "pets of bel air" , DO NOT BUY A PUPPY THERE UNLESS YOU ARE A VET WORKER. There they sell puppies from puppy mills. Sick minded, no hearted, retards that should no whatb it feels like.
The horrible human beings that own puppy mills have one goal in mind- making money. They breed way too many puppies in cramped cages with little food or water just to sell as many as they can. If you know of a puppy mill, report them immediately- its illegal!
6-8 million dogs are killed each month from puppy mills/shelters b/c of food and behavior
Many people say they are a breeding kennel, but they are really a puppy mill. Almost all pet stores are puppy mills. There are probably over 7,000 puppy mills in just the US.
