of a puppy mill? 5 litters, 10 litters, 20 litters a year? Multiple breeds? How about a back yard breeder? Does only having your backyard make you scum, not fit to walk this planet? Seems to me that as long as we throw these names about like swear words, the AR's are a cheering. Seems just the other day that I was at Clayfield kennels and had 5 litters born in one week (actually way, way back in the 70's), or how about Covy Tuckerhill, I can remember going to their place and seeing many different pups from several litters, anyone I would have been happy to take home. Have we been so brain washed that now anyone who breeds multiple litters is automactically a puppy mill? Gee no wonder the idiots in CA are winning with all the BS regulations!
