ii^™ LEGAL DEFINITION FOR PUPPY MILL

"A puppy mill is a dog breeding operation in which the health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits."

Avenson v. Zegart, 577 F. Supp. 958,960 (D. Minn. 1984).

"A Puppy Mill is a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs... This results in generations of dogs with unchecked hereditary defects." uslegal.com › puppy-mill

Puppy Mill puppies are rarely socialized to humans nor are they allowed to play freely or interact with other dogs before being vaccinated 2 weeks too early so they can be shipped to pet shops - all of which makes their survival and love of people astounding!

Hunte Corporation, America's largest puppy mill in 2010, achieved even greater expansion with a loan guaranteed by USDA Rural Development through its business and industry guaranteed loan program. ~ ii USDA'S Rural Development Program
