∙ 14y agoTo understand how puppy mills came into being, it helps to have a basic understanding of the origins of dog breeding. Dog breeding is not a new concept, but rather one that has been around since humans first domesticated the dog. Dogs were kept to fulfill certain tasks, helping with hunting or herding, and people noticed that certain dogs were better at fulfilling these tasks than others. Those would be the dogs they chose to breed. In 1884 the American Kennel Club was founded to advance the study, breeding, running and maintenance of the purity of the thorough bred dog. This really marked a turning point in the history of dog breeding and owning a pure bred dog became a symbol of one's status and were owned exclusively by the wealthy. Then during the post war boom of the late 1940's, people began to have a greater amount of leisure time as well as disposable income . As a result middle class Americans were now insisting on owning their own pure bred dog. At the same time farmers in the Midwest were looking for an alternative croup, and this combined with the demand for pure bred dogs created the first commercial breeders and it is not a far jump to go from commercial breeding to a puppy mill.
