Advertise on the internet that they are a loving, caring breeder of labradoodles and goldendoodles.
Visit them first before providing a deposit. You will be unpleasantly surprised with the conditions. More than 60 puppies were on the premises, with one adult human inadequately attending to all of the dogs and puppies.
The puppies are kept in the small wire cages they are born in until they are 6 - 8 weeks old and are then shipped to their "adopted" homes. As a result, many pups have broken limbs from getting them stuck in the wire bottom of the cage. The mother's are forced to stay in the cages with their pups - being let out only to defecate.
When we arrived unexpectedly, there was a bitch giving birth - in extreme pain - and the multiple other cages we could see had no water or food for the pups or mom's. The puppy mill owner was on her way out - leaving the bitch to fend for herself.
Dogs and pups appeared to be very hungry. When food was present, four week old pups with no teeth were supplied with dry dog food.
The puppy mill is run by two women - a mother and daughter team. The mother appears to do the work, while the daughter is internet savvy and writes glowing reports on the progress of the puppies within the puppy mill.
Mother admitted to owning 22 adult dogs (various breeds, but mostly goldendoodles or labradoodles of some sort), yet lives on what appears to be less than an acre of land in a very small bungalow.
Puppies receive no human socialization. They are fearful of human touch.
