Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project: An interview with a "WI Puppy Farmer" (excerpt below) Schulz says they don't need to be let out for exercise: "Then they'd be unhappy, they'd want to get out again. This way they don't know no better. They're happy where they are."

LRB 2829/3; relating to: the sale of dogs, regulation of certain dog breeders, granting rule-making authority, making an appropriation, and providing a penalty.
We are introducing legislation to curb the disturbing trend of ‘Puppy Mills’ coming to and operating in Wisconsin. These large scale dog breeding operations often keep their dogs and puppies in inhumane conditions in an effort to churn out as many puppies as possible.
Currently, Wisconsin has no means of even simply knowing where these ‘mills’ are in operation. This legislation seeks to require these massive for-profit operations to either bring the care of their dogs and puppies to an acceptable standard, or face revocation of the privilege of doing business in Wisconsin.
As an added protection to Wisconsin consumers, we are including a ‘puppy lemon law’ in this legislation. This aims to give purchasers recourse if the puppy they purchased is found to have a congenital or hereditary disease which the buyer was not made aware of.

He says dogs don't need to be indoors during the winter, "There's no need for it. They were outside for a million years. It's only the last 200 that people have been putting 'em in the house."
"Purchasing a puppy from Wisconsin or other state that does not have a “puppy lemon law” leaves you no recourse if you lose your pet due to health or genetic problems. The Midwest is full of puppy mills, and all them will tell you they are a reputable breeder, so it is very important to do your homework."
