Is Puppyland a puppy mill?
We believe in professional responsible breeding, not puppy mills, therefore we personally check our breeder's inspection reports to make sure the welfare of the puppies and parental dogs is not compromised in any way.
Where do the puppies at Petland come from?
Petland claims that they only buy from breeders with “the highest standards,” but the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has found that they continue to buy from known puppy mills and out-of- state brokers that deal with puppy mills.
Where do puppy mills get their dogs?
There is no legal definition of “puppy mill.” Many pet store owners will tell you they get all their puppies from “licensed USDA breeders” or “local breeders.” In fact, in order to sell puppies to pet stores, a breeder must be licensed by the USDA!
How do you determine if a breeder is a puppy mill?
If local, the seller/breeder refuses to show potential customers the place where animals are being bred and kept. The seller/breeder doesn't ask lots of questions. If you can click and pay for a puppy without screening, it's probably a puppy mill. The seller/breeder makes no commitment to you or the puppy.
How do I make sure not a puppy mill?
- Avoid pet stores, newspaper ads, and great deals online! Many puppy mills supply local pet stores with false information.
- Visit the breeder and ask questions! Ask to see the entire facility where the dogs are bred and kept.
- Adopt from a shelter or rescue instead!
