WTHR - Indiana’s Puppy Pipeline Part 2
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...
While puppies from commercial breeding operations are sold to pet stores, their parents are often left behind. Those dogs usually live their adult lives in a cage.
So what happens to dogs that can no longer produce puppies? What do commercial breeders do with those?
Kim Townsend, a dog breeding industry researcher, says many of those dogs become the forgotten victims of the Puppy Pipeline.
“A lot of them just stay in the same cage until they die,” Townsend said. “They just linger.”
Uncle Bill’s gets most of its puppies from commercial dog breeders in Daviess County, Ind. That area is home to dozens of commercial breeders who supply thousands of puppies to central Indiana pet stores.

Unfortunately, Puppy mills treat their dogs as commodities/slaves….Then better laws and law enforcement need to be in place to ensure some minimum standards of humane treatment of animals is required. Poor dogs. Humans can be so unfeeling, greedy and selfish.
Puppy mills can be …
Puppy mills can be profitable and still humane and decent. It is up to the owners/operator’s sense of decency to uphold better standards for their breeding dogs. They are just too lazy, too greedy or they feel that dogs do not deserve better. Technically the breeding dogs are employees of puppy mills. Like any business, you can exploit your workers and let them work to death without any benefits…excellent companies treat their employees very well and stay in business for the long haul.
