Avoiding puppy mills
What is not easy is to look at a clean, cute and fat puppy and imagine that it could come from a puppy mill. Unfortunately, a truly saddening fact is that puppy mills do exist and some pet stores that sell puppies get their puppies from these very mills.
The whole situation arises not because of the fact that there is high demand for puppies, or people like to buy puppies from pet store, the thing is that there are no regulations or laws governing things like these, and whatever laws or regulations that are present are not enforced as they should be due to a number of different circumstances.
The thing that you need to weary of when getting your own puppy is not just the pet stores that get their puppies from puppy mills, but also bogus operations that run on the internet, or the people who sell puppies through advertisements in classifieds, and even those that sell puppies n a one on one basis.
Wait a second, doesn't that mean that you need to be careful of any type of transaction? After all there is a limit on the number of ways that you can get a puppy for yourself and your family, and in case you are not a breeder yourself you have very limited options including the ones mentioned above.
What you need to look at here then is not the overall picture of getting a puppy, but your individual case. If you conduct a thorough check in the place you're getting your puppy from, be it from a pet store, a puppy breeder, an online puppy breeder or seller, or even through a classified advertisement, you can at least be sure that you are not getting your puppy from one of the puppy mills.
The flourishing puppy mills can be stopped only by using the above method. Most of the people would say that if you are getting your puppy from a pet store then you are helping out puppy mills. This is not the case in every situation.
There are many pet stores that don't get their puppies from puppy mills, and there are many puppy breeders who run clean operations which are as far removed from puppy mills as chalk is from cheese. Many of these operations are sanctioned and certified as being the genuine article, and with a little research and diligence on your part you can contain your obtainment of a puppy to these places.
