of unknown origin for sale to laboratories or other bunchers or brokers. Bunchers are considered lower on the evolutionary scale than puppy mill operators, for there is much suspicion that they buy stolen pets, collect pets advertised as "Free to a good home", and adopt unwanted pets from animal shelters for research at veterinary colleges or industrial research laboratories.
批发商：他们收集不知出处的狗，销售给实验室或者其他批发商或经销商。他们被认为是puppy mill的低级形态。因为他们很有可能去偷宠物，收集宠物，从宠物保护所领养被遗弃的宠物。用于动物试验或者产业研究实验室。

Backyard breeder:
A dog owner whose pet either gets bred by accident or who breeds on purpose for a variety of reasons. This breeder is usually ignorant of the breed standard, genetics, behavior, and good health practices. A backyard breeder can very easily become a commercial breeder or a puppy mill.
“后院”繁殖者：一个狗主人，他可能是因为意外或者多样的原因进行了繁殖，这种繁殖者通常会忽略这个品种的标准，基因，行为表现，和有益的健康的锻炼。这种繁殖者非常容易转变成商业繁殖者或者puppy mill！

Puppy mill:
A breeder who produces puppies hand over fist with no breeding program, little attention to puppy placement, and poor health and socialization practices. A puppy mill may or may not be dirty but it is usually overcrowded and the dogs may be neglected or abused because the breeder can't properly handle as many dogs as he has. Puppy mill operators often denigrate hobby breeders and their dogs in attempts to make a sale.
Puppy mill:他们大量的生产宠物，他们完全没有繁殖计划，很少考虑宠物安置。他们很少给宠物健康和社交的训练。一个puppy mill可能不很脏但是他们通常很拥挤因为狗太多太滥了以致于他们很难照顾到那么多的个体。puppy mill的商人通常会诋毁那些好的有声望的爱好繁殖者，这么做，是为了销售他们自己的狗。

以上定义，不知道大家听说过没有，我想，很多定义都适合中国呢！！我想，只有爱好繁殖者，才是我们唯一应该推崇的对象吧！在美国，绝大部分顶尖的犬舍都属于hobby breeder，他们尽一切可能保护他们的幼犬。这就是为什么你很难从他们哪边买到幼犬，通常他们的等待列表都很长，他们的繁殖计划不多，他们的幼犬价格很高，要排队的时间按年计算。所有协会和俱乐部都有很完善的声望累积机制，他们会推荐某个地区的繁殖者给真正的宠物爱好者。最近有志引进优良种犬的人越来越多，提供一些知识避免上当受骗。
