For info, there are reams and reams of it out there, go to Google and type in puppy mills, just be sure you have a strong stomache.

And my opinion of "back yard breeders" if you mean people who just breed there dog for money, not love, is the same as puppy mills, just slightly less sickening.

If you mean people who don't spay or neuter, but otherwise love and care for their pets, well, they need education. The earlier you teach children to spay and neuter, the better!

Even Miss Hoppy is spayed, though we have no "eligible bachelors" around the house for her!
