Determining the exact definition of the term "puppymill" can at times result in a variety of descriptions. Some define a "puppymill" as any endeavor that retains a profit from the breeding of an animal. The opposite side insist that animals have long been used as a resource, and a basic healthy environment all that is necessary.

The reality is that no matter how rigid or permissive ones beliefs are regarding the subject, we all can agree on one thing: That the total health of the animal, his/her cohabitant's and the progeny produced is of utmost importance.

For that matter, we personally have set standards of care, breeding and daily interaction that we feel are instrumental in creating the warm, cheery environment we pride ourselves on.

However, the sad facts show that many, many poor animals are kept in conditions that are far below our stringent standards. The misrepresentation of "Kennels" and "Farms" is prevalent as well, creating an situation ripe with concern, distrust, and misinformation.

Hence, we would like to urge our visitors to learn more regarding this subject. To help you in this regard, we have provided links to several well written and deeply informative sites. For those of you who desire to take action and prevent many of the situations you are about to learn of, we are also providing linkage to sites that will provide directions in this area.

Please be aware.....the nature of this very subject is truly painful and difficult to view. You may become quite uncomfortable with this information or images that are shown.....but do remember: you are merely on the outside looking in. There are wonderfully warm hearted creatures who are actually forced to live in these settings.

And they have no voice. And although some go into breeding for a hobby, most get greedy and expand , and with expanding  the breed and care suffers.  Please monitor any sellected kennel for months pryer to buying . Accidents , are words used by most kennels to cover up back to back breeding.
