What is a puppy mill?

Shelby Marlo, CPDT (Animal Behavioral Specialist, Professional Dog trainer) gives expert video advice on: Where do I go to get a dog?; Don't shelter or rescue dogs come with too many problems?; Do dog breeders provide the healthiest dogs? and more...

The definition of a puppy mill is that the puppies are not taken care of. The puppies are born with their mother. They're kept in a cage. They're soiling the very area that they sleep in which is not natural to dogs. Dogs are clean animals by nature. They will not soil their bed. Dogs in puppy mills are forced to soil their area. They are not socialized. They're not held. They're not loved. It's deplorable the situation that goes on in puppy mills.
