puppy mill

A puppy mill, sometimes known as a puppy farm,〔(Farr Introduces Bill to Regulate Puppy Farms )〕 is a commercial dog breeding facility that is operated with an emphasis on profits over the welfare of the dogs bred, with substandard conditions of care often the norm. Similar types of operations exist for other animals most commonly kept as pets or used as feed for other animals.
There are an estimated 4,000 puppy mills in the U.S. that produce more than half a million puppies a year. Commercial kennels may be licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture and state and local jurisdictions which may inspect the kennels routinely.〔(Questions and Answers on Animal Care’s Regulation of Commercial Animal Dealers )〕
No standardized legal definition for "puppy mill" exists.〔http://www.aspca.org/fight-cruelty/puppy-mills/laws-protect-dogs-puppy-mills〕 The term "mill" is also applied to operations involving other animals commercially bred for profit, including cats. For-profit breeding on a smaller scale may be referred to as backyard breeding,〔 although this term has negative connotations and may also refer to unplanned or non-commercial breeding.
In the last decade, an increase of organizations posing as animal rescue and using tax-free donations to acquire by purchasing, stealing, importing, or breeding dogs from unknown sources have been seen, for the sole purpose of profit, they are also known as Puppy Mills.
== Differences in breeding conditions ==

The Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club state that responsible breeders raise their animals with the intent to produce healthy dogs, and to ensure that all animals are provided responsible homes and socialization.
In puppy mills, females are sometimes bred every time they are in heat to increase profits, resulting in gradually decreasing sizes of litters.〔 As puppies, mill dogs are also often weaned from their mothers well before the eight to ten weeks recommended. Bark Rescue in Belleview, IL also explains, “Puppies are taken from their mother when they are 5 to 6 weeks old and sold to brokers who pack them in crates for resale to pet stores all over the country.” Only half of the puppies survive during this exhausting travel only to make it to the pet shop until they are sold. Dogs in puppy mills are often bred indiscriminately. While the puppies produced may come with pedigrees, the pedigree itself is neither an indication of quality nor authenticity.
