Owners of puppy mills breed dogs to sell, in Singapore, they can sell for at least 800SGD per puppy. A female dog usually gives birth to at least 2 in a single birth. It is a lucrative business.
Because they are more valuable when it is time for sale.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Sometimes they do. In fact, most of the pure bred dogs that come through our rescue from puppy mills have their breed appropriate work done (ie docked tails, cropped ears). Maybe it's because the dogs were stolen from proper owners and already had the work done, or maybe having these dogs look 'correct' with their ears or tails will draw attention away from how poorly bred many of them are, or what deplorable conditions they live in.
6-8 million dogs are killed each month from puppy mills/shelters b/c of food and behavior
