There are many different breeds bred by puppy mills, usually popular breeds that you see in the pet stores, very often these dogs will have health problems, and sometimes abused in their time with the parents' owner.
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.
they come from large "farms," so to speak, of dogs who are bred continuously until death.
You have to go to the breeder who actually bred the dog. If you bought it at a puppy store, then you're probably out of luck as they usually get their dogs from puppy mills.
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.
Puppy mills, also known as puppy farms, are awful places where dogs are bred and bred again until they die. They are locked in small wired cages. They have no human companionship, toys or comfort. They are never let out of their cages. They freeze in the winter and swelter in the summer. If you're considering buying a dog, you should find a responsible breeder and visit their premises where they keep their dogs. Do not buy puppies from dog stores. Visit the Humane Society website to learn more about how to stop puppy mills.
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
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.
