Puppy mill is a term that’s a bit hard to define because it’s not an official term used by the FDA (which sets guidelines for puppy breeders). We define puppy mills as any breeder that raises puppies in substandard conditions and places profits over the welfare of the puppies. We are a family breeder who loves working with Cavaliers and can assure you our puppies are well cared for. We don’t like puppy mills either.
