"How are your puppies raised?" Is an important question when choosing a breeder to support. Because a breeder has multiple litters a year, does not make them a "puppy mill".
"What is the difference between a dog breeder and a breeder of dogs?" A dog breeder invests in their breedings. A Preservationist Breeder is held to a higher standard. Their focus revolves around utilizing breeding choices including pedigrees, health clearances, structure and temperament. A breeder of dogs is just that. Someone who has a dog or dogs, that may or not be registered, and breed them for the purpose of having puppies. They do not regard the pedigree, health or temperament and many times breed solely for personal financial gain.
