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

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.
