Puppy Mills

Its been awhile since I last posted and I have several blogs I want to write but much has been happening and there has been little time. My hopes are that soon I can write more but this came across my email tray and I had to take the time to write.

I used to think those cute dogs in cages in chain pet stores were well treated and came from good reputable dog breeders. That is not necessarily, in fact, often not the case. Puppy mills are the suppliers and in addition to promulgating poor strains that are prone to disease and physical problems, the conditions can be horrendous. I will never buy from a pet store again.

This news item in the Parkersburg, VA News and Sentinel tells of one such puppy mill. Please take the time to read the entire article.
