Puppy mills

When I was in college, my mother and I had a kennel and raised puppies.  We had about 75 breeder dogs.  It used to anger me quite a bit for people to refer to us as part of the puppy mills that you would see in the news.  I personally have been to a puppy mill and couldn’t stand what I saw.  There are reputable breeders out there and we were one of them.  The adult dogs and the puppies were cared for as you would your family pets by us.  So if you are looking for a puppy, buy one from a breeder that will let you see the parents and not keep you from seeing the conditions the breeders are living in.  In fact, before long I am going to be looking for a puppy myself and trust me, I will check out the kennel before I purchase my puppy.
