Puppy Mills and Pet Stores: How Much is that Doggie in the Window

Our dog song this Saturday featured the old classic How Much is that Doggy in the Window.  It's estimated that over 1 million puppies being sold in pet shops every year come from puppy mills in Missouri.  Take a look at the video below to learn more about pet shop puppies and where so many come from... and if you're thinking about adding a puppy to your family For Love of a Dog encourages you to adopt, not shop.

  1. My neighbor just bought an English Bulldog from a breeder. So far he looks very healthy, thank God. I was also happy to see that the dog is neutered.

  2. Not all dog breeders are running puppy mills. There are definitely good, responsible dog breeders from whom it is perfectly safe to purchase a puppy.
