"To say ALL pet stores buy from Puppy Mills. And that ALL licensed and inspected USDA commercial kennels are dirty Puppy Mills. Comes from a thought process that many Americans hoped would have been outgrown in today�s America. "

Except that you've mis-stated it here. Let's try again:

NO Responsible Breeder will sell their animals to pet stores or through other commercial outlets. A Responsible Breeder accepts the *responsibility* of finding a home for each and every life they have had the *responsibility* of bringing into existence. And that rules out letting someone who's being paid to run a cash register and run credit cards be the one who sends puppies to their new homes.

So, to fix your statement above - by definition - NO Responsible Breeder will sell their animals to pet stores or through other commercial outlets. And as for all the other kinds of breeders - well, they don't need to be bringing animals into this world at all.
