What is a puppy mill poodle?

Answer 1

Puppy mills are breeding facilities that produce purebred puppies in large numbers. Often the puppies are sold directly to the public via the internet, newspaper ads, or at the mill itself. In other cases they are sold to brokers and pet shops across the country. For the unwitting consumer, this situation frequently means buying a puppy facing an array of immediate veterinary problems or harboring genetic diseases that surface years later. The puppies don't have any papers. It's probably the worst place in the world for animals.

People who breed their dogs for a profit are commonly called puppy mill owners, however not every one who breeds dogs falls into that category. So before I go into detail about what a puppy mill is I am going to give you a brief overview of the different categories that dog breeders can fall under. These categories are commonly listed as hobby breeder, commercial breeder, broker, buncher, amateur breeder and puppy mill owner. A hobby breeder is a breed fancier, they specialize in a breed or two, and they follow a breeding plan that is set up to protect each breed and they only breed when a litter will enhance the breed. A commercial breeder usually has several breeds and their primary motive is to make a profit. They pay little to no attention to genetics when breeding their dogs however when inspected by the USDA or AKC they pass with adequate conditions. A broker is someone who buys from commercial kennel and sells to retail pet outlets or kennels. A buncher is one who collects dogs of unknown origin to sell to laboratories or other buchers or brokers. An amateur breeder is a dog owner who breeds their dog accidentally or for a variety of other reasons. This breeder with have little to no knowledge of breed standards or good health practices. An amateur breeder has the potential to become either a hobby breeder or a commercial breeder. Now a true puppy mill is a breeder who produces puppies with no breeding program, little attention to puppy placement and poor health and socialization practices. For the sake of a profit puppy mill breeders cut corners in the treatment of their animals and fail to provide their charges with food water, adequate protection from the elements and even the most basic medical care. The female dogs are bred every time they go into heat so as the eke as much money from a given dog as possible. This means that the puppies born in these places are separated from their mother at an unhealthy young age. These dogs often live out their lives in a small wire cage with no human companionship, toys or comfort and little hope of ever becoming a part of a family. After the dogs fertility wanes, breeding animals are often killed, abandoned or sold cheaply to another mill to try to get one more litter out of the dog. The reason puppy mills continue to thrive today is that they prey on unwitting consumers who are smitten by the to-cute-for-words puppies in pet store windows and from legitament-seeming websites. The annual result of this breeding is millions of puppies many with behavior and/or health problems. In can't stress enough how terrible the life is for dogs in puppy mills, and the best thing you can do to help to stop the suffering is to adopt your do from a shelter, because puppy mills will never stop so long as there are people willing to buy their puppies.

Puppy mills are places where they keep lots and lots of dogs in small cages and force them to mate approximately twice a year. Those puppies born will be sent to pet stores.
