What is worse: a puppy mill or backyard breeder2007-11-25 2:52:52Answers:

Neither is the best situation but a puppy mill is way worse. Most back yard breeders at least take care of the animals and care about them. A backyard breeder is someone who may only have 1 litter or several, but they are usually just wanting their cute little dog to repoduce or they are trying to make some money off of pure bred litters. They are not interested in the betterment of the breed, do no genetic testing and sometimes mix 2 breeds to get a "designer" breed. Very uninformed people, and they should not be breeding. A pupply mill is usually a huge operation where the miller has many, many different breeds of dogs, the females are just bred over and over and over again. The cages are filthy and stacked high where when one dog poops, it falls down into the cage of the other. The dogs are not loved, not vetted, not cared for and sometimes beaten. A puppy mill is a horrible place and I wish they could be outlawed. They breed sick pups that are taken away from their moms as early as 3 weeks, loaded into big semis and hauled off to the pet store. Many of these dogs will not survive and the ones that do, many will be sick. If you buy from a pet store remeber, you are just keeping these sickos in business. Puppy mills are the worst!

While neither one is great for the overall health of the pet population, I think a puppymill is a lot worse. Generally, a back-yard breeder will take better care of his or her animals. They may not be as educated as they need to be in order to breed healthy puppies, but they tend to be humane and make an effort to find good homes for the puppies.
