Hello Louise, I would like to better understand your comment & I ask the following question in that effort. Could you explain to me what qualifies a persons operation as a puppy mill & not that of a breeder? Everyone has a different opinion about what a puppy mill is & I would like to hear yours. Thanks, Bonnie In a message dated 9/5/2009 11:30:34 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Fior49@xxxxxxx writes: I knew Frank back in the early 80's and I stand on my comment. I also was at Franks house back then to buy a bitch, and turned around and never looked back!!
