People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. 4 April 2008. "Charlize Theron's Puppy Mill Investigation." 10 June 2008. http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=charlize-theron-pupply-mill&Player=wm

This official video from PETA (which premiered on Dateline) takes a look at puppy mills. It shows just how horrible the conditions can be at these breeding mills, with dogs that have diseases that go untreated and are confined to tiny cages for the entirety of their lives. While this may not be typical of every dog breeding facility, it is a good example of the average one. This video is good for seeing, with your own eyes, just how terrible puppy mills can be. This video needs to be seen by anyone that is a pet owner or cares about pets.

The Humane Society of the United States. 2008. "Puppies for Sale - Humane Society." 11 June 2008. http://video.hsus.org/index.jsp?auto_band=x&rf=sv&fr_story=7fbe8343b5835ba3bc24b755d24741f7d8879437

This video from the HSUS goes even more in depth than the previously listed video on the poor conditions dogs are forced to live in, and the community of dog breeders that produce and sell these abused and often diseased dogs. There is footage from several puppy mills, pet stores, puppy mill industry workers, puppy auctions, and expert commentary. It's a very informative video, and covers all of the different aspects of the puppy mill industry.

This page is a good resource for looking at different breeds of dogs. Each dog breed has its own page and history, each with several pictures of what the typical dog within that breed looks like. This page is especially useful for people who are unfamiliar with the different types of dogs, or want to refer to this page when reading another document that refers to a specific breed of dogs.
