Pet stores are not the only place where Puppy Mill pups are sold. They are also sold through the internet, at flea markets, advertised in local newspapers and sometimes sold directly from the mil, although visitors are not usually allowed inside the Puppy Mills to see the conditions in which the dogs are kept. almost always kept in small cramped cages where they may not even be able to Puppy Mill pups are usually four to eight turn around or stand fully.
