It is typical for pet stores to tell customers that their puppies come from licensed breeders. What they dont say is that many USDA-licensed dog breeders maintain kennels like the one shown in this video, shot in February 2009. Best Friends has compiled this and other video footage to show the public what it really means to be a licensed breeder. To learn more about how puppies from kennels like this often end up for sale in retail pet stores, visit our website: http://puppiesarentproducts.com/

These dogs look healthy and content. What is your point on this kennel. Are you just against dogs in pens. Most of the runs are big enough for the dogs to get exercise and inside they have feed and fresh water and the temperature is always controlled both in summer and winter.

Hello rollinghills47. We make no statement as to whether what's shown in the video is "right" or "wrong," we simply document what the kennels look like and make the information available to people who may be interested.

Out of all the videos you have made, I'm pretty sure you know that this is 255 counts of privacy invasion? Correct? It is illegal to videotape someone elses property without them knowing. If you think its right, you are wrong. I would be pretty dang mad if this were me though.

rollinghills47, don't buy their BS! All you have to do is look at their website both here and on the internet and you will know what they are really about.

It is not illegal to videotape of photograph from the street. They're not trespassing, and these licensed and commercial business operations have no expectation of privacy to be violated by the person doing the filming.

And if the breeders have nothing to hide, why should they care? Or is it that they want to keep their operations as dirty little secrets?

Astonished that anyone would consider this a quality life for a dog. And this is the "best" of the large scale breeders. Sure looks different from the cute puppy pictures the breeders post online, pretending to be a mom and pop hobby breeder.

Goose122194---A licensed kennel means a person that is running their kennel legally by the government's standards. They are inspected regularly and issued a license each year---the kennels, that is. What BestFriends is doing is illegal and an invasion of privacy to legal, licensed kennels.

I used to work for the Miller's. They take wonderful care of their animals. They a wonderful people. I know for a fact that they are certified. I have witnessed many, many inspections for their certification.
