How many puppies are born at a puppy mill each day?

Answer 1

As many as the person can fit into that cage. Puppy mills are horrible places for dogs to live. They are illegal and any information on puppy mills should be directed you your local SCPA, Animal Services, or police station. It is considered animal abuse.

Answer 2

There is no exact figure for this after all puppy mills are illegal, so who in their right mind would openly advertise the fact that they operate a puppy mill. This means the exact number of puppy mills is unknown there could be as many as 10,000 puppy mills in the United States alone. Puppy mills can have as many as a couple hundred to over a thousand dogs for breeding each. The average litter contains one to four puppies, how many depends on the breed. Also puppy mill owners breed their females every time they come into heat, how many times depends on the breed of dog, but the average is four times a year. Now no responsible breeder will breed a dog that often it is hazerdous to the dogs health however puppy mills breed their dogs every time they go into heat, they even go so far as to ween the puppies from their mother's earlier than is safe so as to cause the mother to go into heat faster. Just to give you a sense of the magnitude of this lets I will take the guestamations I have gathered and try and come up with a number for you. Say there are 10,000 puppy mills in the United States and on average there are about 500 breedable females in every puppy mill, (500 is just an arbitrary number even with a vague sense of how many dogs a puppy mill usaully has I have no way of knowing how many of those are breedable females). That is a total of 5,000,000 breedable female dogs. Because the typical litter contains one to four dogs I will guess that each litter would produce 3 puppies, I am also going to assume that the female is bred every time she comes into heat, about four times a year. So in a year each female dog produces twelve puppies. Multiply that with the number of female dogs and that amounts to 60,000,000 puppies every year. Divide that by the number of days in a year and you end up with an average of about 164,384 puppies born a day. That is a mind boggling amount, even though the numbers are nothing more than guesses.

Answer 3

As a rule, puppies come from a puppy mill rather than being sent there.

Answer 4

A single female dog can only give birth once every 6 months. At each whelping, she can have up to 15 puppies depending upon her health and her breed.
