Fact vs Fiction
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
FACT:
Pet shops usually buy their puppies from brokers. These brokers get their animals from puppy mills –
commercial breeding establishments that mass-produce dogs for resale. Most puppy mills and brokers are
in the Midwest Pennsylvania and New York. Neither puppy mills nor pet shops properly socialize their puppies. They raise their puppies in tight
and often cramped dirty cages – not warm home-enriched environments.
In these conditions they lack the benefits of fresh air, exercise, play with lots of positive human contact all of basic necessities that every puppy needs to be able to grow into a well-adjusted adult dog.
FICTION:
Being USDA LICENSED is not necessarily a good thing. This usually means that you are breeding a LARGE amount of puppies and therefore this is the definition of puppymill.
Jumping off the high horse and onto the soap box.
