But I resist my temptation and walk away because I do not support the horror that this little puppy came from. A puppy mill A puppy mill is a commercial dog breeding area. What so wrong with that? Well the conditions are horrible most puppy mills offer little to none fresh water over a a three week period. Their kept in a 4 by 4 pen and usally go cage crazy and recive little to no vetrainary care. The “breeding stock”is bred over and over again and little chance with human compainionship. They never see a treat, a toy or a bed. So never adopt from a puppy mill.
