I currently live in the US, but I am still very much Pinay. I've recently become a member of this group, so hello to all!

After reading several Dogster owner bios, I've come to the realization that appallingly enough, the puppy mill industry is alive and thriving in the Philippines.

Just what is a puppy mill? I found the ff. URL that best articulates this appellation:
http://www.canismajor.com/dog/puppymil.html

I started this thread with the intention of educating the public. Bottom line, it's good for the dogs, and good for the owners.

To me, acquiring a dog from a puppy mill or out of sheer "oh, the puppy looked cute, but i really know nothing about the breed, and i neither have the time nor the inclination of taking care of this thing after he gets older & uglier", is just plain stupid.

Please read the article and help others become better educated. Let's be responsible and get our acts together.

Thank you.

I lived in the States and know how bad Pet Mills are! Puppy mills are the worst! They run the animals to the ground and are given poor dwelling conditions with little or no attention to basic needs. Like a decent bath, food, space, vet visits, etc. Name or think of the cruelest thing you can think of and that's pretty much the dog mill for you. And who do We have to blame for this? Sadly, it is us. People who are uneducated about the pet industry. People who think that the best place to buy a pet is at a PET SHOP. The commercialism.

If you want a pet. visit you local pound. They literally line up, adopt! Or find an experienced breeder. This way, you know that the pet you buy and make a member of the family comes from a GOOD, HEALTHY, TRAUMA AND STRESS FREE background.
