Here's a couple puppymills I've came across on the internet:
http://www.mooneydogwoodhills.com/
http://www.sandhillspuppypaws.com/
Horribly bred dogs.
Sadly, there are so many puppymills and backyard breeders out there compared to reputable breeders with quality dogs.
EDIT: I'm hoping the asker isn't wanting to buy from a puppymill. Hopefully he/she is educating either him-/herself, or someone else, about puppymills.
You will NOT find a dog that is show-quality from a puppymill. They may claim it is, but in reality, it isn't.
EDIT:
Brit,
I have never been to those places, nor will I ever. I don't do business with people like that, I only buy dogs from REPUTABLE breeders.
Those places I listed have the making of a puppymill, and if they aren't a puppymill, they they are very large backyard-breeding operations. Either way, they are mass-breeding low-quality animals for profit, not for betterment of the breed. Those are NOT the right places to get a puppy, they are not responsible, reputable, or ethical breeders in any way, shape, or form.
If you think it's okay for people to breed dogs like those websites do, you may want to re-evaluate your standards. I, personally, have much higher standards for what I expect out of a breeder than that.

The only breeders I would recommend are certainly not puppy mills. Puppy mills are just that, the dam breeds at least 2's a year, without prior health testing or current vet care, for the sire either. 'Papers & registration' are questionable at best and there are no guarantees about the animals health or temperament. Why on earth would you want to feed into this? Have you not heard of House Bill 223 or State Bill 173 in Ohio? A puppy mill is just another way for an unethical person to make money at an animals expense. Check out the pictorial on the link below, then consider buying from a puppy mill...........

Do not go with a puppy mill, these people are in this just for the money and can care less about the quality of the puppys.
Call vets and call breeders for more information.

I know an AKC breeder who actually judges at some of the lower level shows that I would consider a puppy mill. She has beautiful healthy dogs and takes good care of them. But she has dozens upon dozens of them. I would say anyone with more than 4-5 breeding females would be considered a puppymill especially if they treat the dogs like livestock no matter how "highquality" they are. I think dogs should be pets.

I hope you're wanting to interview a puppy mill, but the way they get reported so no one would openly say hey, I'm a puppy mill. Anyhow, here is a great site that explains and shows pictures of puppymills and why they're awful.

Most puppy mills and backyard breeders don't promise show-quality dogs. That's too easy to come back and dispute. Many promise "good dogs."

This is in response to abbyful's comment. Do you have proof that the websites you posted are puppymills? Have you ever visited those places or purchased a dog? Just because your bored don't me you should just go around calling people puppymills. I don't think you really know what a puppymill is.

The point of the puppy mills is maximum puppies, and they usually don't advertise They can sell to pet stores and other scum that peddle puppies.

no pupy mills are good breeders
they breed sick,old, mixed breed , unhealthy dogs
they have no interest in dogs but just $$$$$
many just send their dogs to petstores or sell over the internet so there is no way of ever getting in contact with them.

You would be better off to contact rescue than go through a puppymill for a dog.
