I'll make this short and sweet...
What is a breeder's definition of a puppy mill?
Is it the poor conditions that most people relate to a puppy mill?
How many litters does a "breeder" have to breed in a period of one year, to be considered a puppy mill?
How many litters are acceptable in five years?
Are the dogs usually poor or show quality? Is it normal for these dogs to have their titles and be imported from Germany?
How can one tell or believe by the word of mouth, if in fact, a breeder is a puppy mill?
How can one find out if these claims are true or not?
