The words "puppy mill" are used to describe negative conditions for breeding dogs. The room each dog has is irrelevent. The puppies are the lucky ones-at least they have a chance to be sold regardless of the room & care (lack of)they were provided by these backyard breeders.

Where can i find a good loving dog that is loveable and loves to cuddle and only barks when some one comes to the door but i don't want a dog that will bite?

Here is what you should do. Go to an animal shelter and talk to
the volunteer or director. They will lead you to the dog room. They
will let you meet the dogs and maybe pet them. Try to find a dog
that was not from a puppy mill. Just to be warned if you want a
puppy you might have to train it. If your dog or puppy needs
special training find a local puppy kindergarten or an obedience
class.

How do you carry a puppy in a bag?

Buy a bag that has room for the puppy to stick it's head out,
that is also a roomy bag. Imagine yourself as a puppy. Think about
the size of the puppy and the size of the bag. Maybe if the bag was
a little bigger the puppy would be cozy. Step one, open the bag.
Step two, put the puppy in the bag. Step three, make sure its
comfortable and the puppy can breath.

I have a jealous cat over a new puppy. What should I do to help with the situation?

Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new
puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give
the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide
when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate
it.
Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the
role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on
your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow.
Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat
are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy.
Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now
wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will
realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and
also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group.
In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't
punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you
defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause
the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again
do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals
will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced
to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce
one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the
reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is:
Rank.
