Dog Breeders and Puppy Mills: They Are Not the Same!

The term “puppy mill” might as well be a dirty word. They are found in New Braunfels, San Antonio, and many other locations in the US. The truth is animal lovers should avoid supporting them at all cost. Every day, people interested in adopting a puppy are taken in by puppy mills. They believe they are purchasing pets from reputable dog breeders. These places where animals are mistreated and abused for profit continue to thrive. If no one adopted animals from these mills, then they would simply cease to exist. Here are some ways that you can tell if you are dealing with a puppy mill or a reputable breeder who has only the animal’s welfare in mind.
