The question was raised in the petition thread about outlawing pet shops and puppy mills as to what is a puppy mill and one's definition of what one was. So I thought I would ask again, what is a puppy mill? Is it the commercial breeding industry which sells to pet shops? Is it a numbers thing? Do numbers of intact animals define one? How about number of puppies produced? How about high volume breeders who sell directly to the public? Do conditions and care define one? How about a breeder with DNA profiles on their studs?

So in specific, concrete language; define what is a puppy mill?
