They are bred over and over again until they die.

"... Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and often unsanitary conditions, without adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization..."

"... Puppy mills are breeding facilities that produce purebred puppies in large numbers..."

imho, we should separate backyard breeding into these so-called puppy mills... lets not generalize. there are so many backyard breeders who love their dogs very much that it also hurts them to see their puppies go. like me for example, i have only one female mini dachs.. when i bought her, making money out of her is farthest from my mind... what i was after then was to have a family pet that me & my kids can love... however, since she is a female, giving birth is a fact of life. she has to give birth. and since we cannot keep so many dogs (we cannot give full attention and love to each and every one of them) we have to part with her puppies... dont tell me, its immoral to accept payment for these pups? be fair.

Hundreds of thousands of dogs suffer in puppymills in this country. They are prisoners of greed. The dogs are locked in small cages.

i really think this article applies to AMERICA not here. what we have here (or at least in Cebu) are backyard breeders.. much to the mold of c0ck breeders of bacolod, cebu & mindanao...

Irresponsible breeding on a smaller scale is referred to as backyard breeding

What is a Puppy Mill?

As others have stated, it is not a good place for a puppy!

As far as I'm concerned, a there are several groups of people who breed dogs.

Ill list them, good to bad
1: Reputable Breeder/ Fancier:: Usually breeds a dog for show qualities and the betterment of the breed. They will often only sell their puppies with a "no breed" contract, as they have kept the pick of the litter to show. The other pups that aren't "quite as good or may not meet the show Standard" are considered PET Quality. Still excellent puppies, usually healthier and less prone to problems.

2. Home/Family Breeder: This is usually a family that decided to breed their family pet.

3. Back Yard Breeder (BYB): These are breeders who have more than one dog producing puppies. Often they may have a couple of pens out back, or if the dog is small, they'll have them in a room in the house, they may not care about bettering the breed, or the health of the dogs they are breeding. This is a business, though they swear that they love their dogs. Some of these may be ethical. You just have research!!!

4. Puppy Mill: Breeders of more than 3 different breeds of dogs. Usually these dogs are raised outside (often in cages), and while some may be treated well...more often than not, they are in deplorable conditions, and they are not selling to the public....it is for profit, not for the care and promotion of the breed. These should be avoided at all cost!~ Most puppies from these "breeders" end up in pet shops or 3rd party sellers. Be careful when you search for a puppy....If you look on some of the websites, look to see how many breeds they have? How many puppies for sale? How can anyone give proper care to 30-50 puppies

A puppymill is just like a chicken farm but worse. The mother is kept in a cage for her whole breeding life. That is all she does, have puppies litter after litter after litter. They have several mother doges haveing puppies all the time. When they get old enough they sell them to stores and from ads in the paper. Most times they do not give them shots or worm them. Also the mother. The mother could get something and pass it along to the pups and they won't tell you if the mother was sick or anything. You could buy a nice looking puppy that has something and could cost you a lot in vet bills or just die on you.

My point is:

Never buy from someone you think is running a puppymill.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

i fall under #2 of your category... i was just clarifying becoz the way the several posts in your thread is going its as if only those who breed with papers are trustworthy and humane...

as i said, lets avoid generalization. thanks.

just for kicks.. may i know if these are your own categories or you just copy-pasted it from somewhere else?

if its the latter, i suggest you include in your post the author or the writer so as not to be accused of plagiarism.

my two cents.

Dont you worry.
