All I have to say is there is no way these puppies can be healthy. The rare breed section is what upset me. They're all mutts, there's nothing rare about them!

This really makes me sad and angry.

I don't know much about laws where you live - but is the Humane Society or SPCA not against puppy mills?

Even local bylaws, or if enough people wrote/called?

Our local HS here shut down a puppy mill a couple of years ago, and saved all the puppies they could(my mechanic has one of them; took two years for the poor boy to completely socialize, he had been kennelled. Now he is at the shop and a sweetie to all!)

I just don't understand how WOC can still exist!

Sick and tragic.

That one link is really interesting. Buttercup, the guy on there has already done the "pretending to be a customer" deal - you might want to read his experience.

The couple who runs it - he was prosecuted, is an ex-jailbird anyway - so the business is now in HER name! They are NO longer members of the BBB!

Now to nail her, I guess.

They have no email for public use that I can find, and stopped their chatline. There are some Florida attorneys working on them...I am sure they are just waiting for the right moment...

Sheesh...I hope they get those idiots soon!

Dressing up ill puppies like dolls - what egos! And no hearts!

Is this puppy cross-eyed?

Nope. Chances are that the pup will grow into those huge eyes soon enough. Even the most well bred Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pekingeses, and similarly built dogs can have those frog eyes. It's a puppy thing, I think. That doesn't mean to excuse WOC from any of these atrocities.

I know this is going to sound weird.. but what exactly is a puppy mill? I did a google search but found contrasting explanations. I feel so bad for those puppies, part of me wants to just get one to love on it for whatever time it has left, but for now that's not an option, but oh those poor babies.

Its basically where there are hundreds of cages,and dogs are bred constantly for their whole life,just so they can make there money off the puppies they breed for Pet Stores.No health checks,nothing pretty much.

heres a website that explains it all.

wow.... it almost makes you second guess any dog... and then another side of me still wishes we could all care for the mill puppies...

OMG! they are selling great danes!

that's terrible! it may be more then one breeder, but the puppies aren't even anywhere close to their breed standard! the mixes that are going for hundres of $$ aren't even mixed for any reason. just to have more puppies! don't these people see that there are PLENTY of dogs dieing in shelters EVERYDAY!!!

look at this beagle puppy this place is selling! $799 for a puppy that isn't anywhere close to being what the breed standard says it should look like!
