If the public would do these 3 things, puppy mills would not exist:
​
​
1. NEVER buy a puppy from a pet store. Never Never Never. 99% of those dogs are shipped in from puppy mills.
​
2. If you are open to a mixed breed, check your local shelter first. Many amazing dogs are waiting for loving homes.
​
3. If you want a purebred dog or puppy, find a reputable breeder who welcomes visitors.
That is the only way to ensure you're not getting your puppy from a puppy mill. Puppymills will not let you visit their facility. At he very least, do a FaceTime appointment with the breeder to see the puppy in real time before sending a deposit. Getting a puppy is a 15 year commitment. You have the right to see where your puppy was born and raised.
