A puppy mill is a generic name for a business that mass-produces puppies for sale. Over the last several years, it has come to represent a substandard commercial breeding facility. The substandard facility may be overcrowded, the animals underfed, asocial and in need of basic grooming and medical care. You may find anywhere from 20 to 1500 animals at one of these substandard facilities. However, commercial breeding facilities are legal provided they meet the standard of care required by law.
