So mom is pretty upset right now and she just showed me the pictures of a puppy mill. I don't understand how anyone could be so mean. Just to get a puppy that is cute, toy like, teacup in size?
If you don't know anything about puppy mills and are considering getting a dog please go to this website and read the information.

So many people make comments about how they bought the puppy because they didn't want to leave him or her there or something along those lines. Paying for a puppy mill dog is adding to the problem. It's all part of supply and demand! You pay for a puppy from a pet store and one will be there to replace it soon after. The only way to stop this is to stop buying dogs from pet stores and back yard breeders out to make a buck! You stop buying and sooner or later they will have to find somewhere else to make their money. Unfortunatly people keep getting swayed by the puppy pawing at the cage in the pet store, or the cute dog on a website saying they will ship your puppy to you by next week. By a dog where you can see the mother or father and can see their temperment, visit the breeders home to see how their dogs live and what the conditions are. Websites like PetFinder and your local humane society shelter always have rescues. If you want a purebred, look up your local rescue shelter for that specific breed and put yourself out there! Do the right thing.
We need to stop using the excuse that we didn't know, or that you wanted a puppy not an adult.
DO YOUR RESEARCH before you buy a dog!
