Cohen, Lloyd D. "Show Dogs and Breeding." GPSolo 26.5 (2009): 26-30. JSTOR. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.
This article starts out by giving two typical examples of what happens after people purchase a puppy from a pet store or through a newspaper advertisement. The new owners are unhappy with their purchase after discovering problems with their “AKC purebred dog” but are not receiving any. Cohen then delves into the world of breed standards and how puppy mills get away with what seems to be false advertising. This means he talks mostly about the AKC and what the public does not know about the organization. Puppy lemon laws are also introduced in the article and discuss what they do to protect breed standards and animal health.
DeMello, Margo. "Animals and Society: An Introduction to Human-Animal Studies Paperback August 21, 2012." Columbia University Press, Aug. 2012. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.
In this book, the author discusses all relations between canine and human. However, there are a few main sections to pay extra attention to. In part II of the work, DeMello discusses “The Pet Animal”, where she talks about the relationship between humans and their pets and how important it is to us that they are cared for. In part III, the topic of violence towards animals is brought up where real life stories are told, many of them having to do with puppy mills. Finally, the fourth section discusses the animal protection movement and goes into what could happen if humans go on treating animals, such as dogs in puppy mills, the way we have been.
Johnson, Carol B. "Puppy Mills." The Global Guide to Animal Protection. Ed. Andrew Linzey. N.p.: U of Illinois, 2013. 155-56. Print.
This chapter in The Global Guide highlights the exploitation of pets by humans by explaining the ways in which they are used as disposable items. The author also enlightens the audience about how profit is put way above the welfare of the animals. The article goes into detail about the cruelty and neglect that goes on at puppy mills. Johnson points out what these operations are in the eyes of the government, meaning how they are accepted because of the mass of amount of revenue they bring in. He also exposes the falsifying of information by puppy mills concerning health and proper breeding.
Tushaus, Katherine T. "Don't Buy the Doggy in the Window." Drake Journal of Agricultural Law (2009): 501-18. Web. 10 Nov. 2014.
The main goal of this article is to talk about what can be done to end the puppy mill cycle. It begins with the history of these operations and why they are such a major problem in our society. The author then goes into all of the different laws and regulations concerning commercial breeding and discusses why they do not work and are not effective enough. Tushaus also brings up a possible way of putting an end to puppy mills by first eliminating pet stores that sell puppies. She points out that people have heard how awful these operations are and often talk about wanting to put a stop to them but that it is not enough. She says they must really be proactive and start asking questions about where their new pet is coming from and never buy from a pet store.

In this journal, Michelle Welch explains how the majority of America has no idea about the animal abuse going on right beneath their noses. She then goes on to detail all of the unbelievable abuse that goes on in puppy mills and how each of these abuses violate the neglect statute. She clearly explains all aspects of neglect in puppy mills, covering each area in the operations that is found typically inadequate. She first discusses food and water, then the shelter and whole living environment. Finally she moves on to actual abuse, citing the different between intentional abuse and neglect to the point of abuse.
