I disagree, Tikeya's mom. People do NOT buy dogs directly from "puppy mills," they are only suplliers for pet stores and chain stores. You can just drive up to a puppy mill and say "I'd like a German Shepherd, please." Puppy mills are disgusting, awful places, and the public ois not allowed near them. How would you think banning pet stores from selling puppy- and kitten-mills products would mean more business for the puppy mills?
