USDA records on various breeders
In the course of our research on breeders for Petland and many other pet stores, we found the following USDA information. If your puppy's breeder is on this page, you can get some idea of the number of dogs, the type of enclosures they're kept in, and conditions at the breeding facilities, which we call puppy mills based on their size and/or living conditions. The following are excerpts from the reports; they do not include all violations. Numbers of dogs are not violations but are included to give you an idea of the size of these facilities. Emphasis (capital letters) is ours. If you purchased a puppy at any Petland store and the breeder's name is on this list, we would appreciate it if you would e-mail us at <all4theanimals@yahoo.com> This is public information available from the USDA.
Note: In October of 2007, the Tulsa World newspaper did an extensive four-day news story on Oklahoma breeders. Reporters compiled a database of USDA inspection reports, related documents, photos, and other information, so if you are looking for information on an Oklahoma breeder, check here:
