What is a Puppy Mill?
THE TRUTH ABOUT PUPPY MILLS
The following you tube video is a very honest and realistic view of a puppy mill
A Commercial Breeder in Amish Country, MO Discarded dead Great Dane Puppy
In July, 2004, BARC rescuers took ownership of 8 BMDs from this breeding facility in Southwest Missouri. BMDs, Leonbergers, Newfoundlands, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, and Hovawarts were all kept outside on a floor of rocks. These large, heavily coated breeds were left outside in the summer heat of Missouri. The temperature can reach into the low 100s. Imagine.
While at the facility, 3 dead great dane puppies were found discarded in a pasture next to the pen where the mother Dane and the rest of the puppies were housed.
The pictures below were taken after a litter of Berner puppies were rescued. They all suffered and died of a preventable disease, distemper. The vaccination costs roughly $1.50. The puppy millers refused to spend that small amount of money for a simple vaccination. It is scary to think what else they elected not to do.
