You can quite easily shut down puppy mills to a meaningful degree by Governments regulating the maximum number of dogs allowed on any one property.

Getting back to retail pet shops. If Governments stopped the sale of pure bred dogs, then the price that pet shop owners put on dogs they sell would drop considerably. At present you'll find that they charge around the same if the dogs they sell are cross or pure - and its right at the top range and utterly ridiculous for gullible customers.
