Puppy mill dogs being sold on the side of the road...

Buyer Beware!! There are puppy millers coming up here from Missouri and selling their dogs in the parking lots in Naperville like they were velvet paintings. They have ads on a lot of the topix websites. They are coming from Missouri and they are luvdgpuppies.com . They come in a van and have the cages stacked on top of each other, 3 puppies to a cage. It's horrific to see this. Their names are Jenna Williams and Donna Gray and they run Gray Kennels in Missouri. If you visit the USDA website, you can see they have hundreds of dogs and violations against them. Spread the word!!!

Forgot to add this, this "quote on their website"...

"We love raising puppies and only want them to go to loving homes where they will be cherished for a lifetime".

Yeah, that's why they stuff the puppies in the cages and drive for 10 hours and sell them in parking lots. What a loving home! And I just love the pictures on their website with all the backround being gas stations, motels, and grocery stores. Nice loving homes....

GET OUT OF HERE!

You can det some really cool puppied at a cheap price!

Whatever. I have purchased 3 puppies from them and they all have been nothing short from being healthy! The reason why they have them in the van is because the puppies are ordered and they deliver them personally to the owners! People could choose to have the puppies shipped if they chose that option! It makes sense to have owners pick up their puppies in one centralized location vs driving all over IL to different owners' homes! They are very kind and decent people and if you dont know them or havent dealt with them personally, STFU!

Oh my GOD! Are you kidding me? The Naperville police have already arrested them for peddling in private parking lots. Call them and ask for the report. Glad you didn't get arrested with them, huh? These people are puppy millers from Missouri. How stupid can you possibly be?

Hey dimples when are you meeting with them next and where? I'm talking about Donna Gray and Jenna Williams who run Gray's Precious Puppies from Lancaster Missouri. One of them lives in Woodridge and their relative runs the mill in Missouri. They place their ads all over the internet and run a PUPPY MILL! Do the research.

Obviously not as stupid as you! My dogs were delivered to my home! Fuck Naperville! I'm not from there! Arrested doesn't mean CONVICTED. All of my dogs have been vet checked, healthy, and AKC registered! No problems at all! Have you done business with GK? If not, keep your mouth shut!

Did you see the parents of the dogs? No, you didn't see them suffering in the puppy mills. They were delivered to you from scummy people who have to bring them to another state because the people in Missouri will have nothing to do with these millers. The parents of your dogs are suffering right now in the mills, never seeing the light of day, never touching grass, never feeling a hug, no vet care, going crazy in the cages because they can't get out, sitting there all day and night day after day after day. Did you know that it's not uncommon for the millers to stick a pipe down their throats to shut them all up? Very common in the mills. They just break their windpipe so they don't have to listen to all the screaming and barking. You and everyone else who buys dogs from the pet stores and over the internet, in the newspapers where you probably seen these scumbag's ad. You should be ashamed of yourself for sticking up for the abuse and cruelty.

I have been looking for a Cavalier and found them as I was doing research. I wanted to be sick. The pictures they have on their website of these poor dogs scared and looking unhealthy broke my heart. They were older puppies and don't have a chance since they are locked up in cages all the time and only allowed out for some tacky photoshoot that shows the level of intelligence of these breeders. I have to say getting your dog from a van where the puppies are stacked up isn't ethical. As for the one review that says - she has gotten two healthy dogs - you are very lucky they were such. If you are such an animal lover there is no way you would support the way these animals are being treated. Cheap puppies - yes. But, the quality is not there. They are not AKC registered. I know that for a fact because I called there and they are not. So you were not given correct information. MO is now under harsher governed rules about puppy mills - since it is one of the largest in the country. It might be the reason why they are coming to IL and hoping people buy the dog. Yes, it is easy to feel like you are saving these dogs. You are giving them a better life then they would have had but even though you are saving one by buying it. You are harming others by more being breed. I think the fact that these people are coming to IL and selling these puppies and people are buying them is a lack of education. Anyone, that wants to rant and go crazy about what I am saying shows you ignorance. You know it - we all know it. These puppies are from a puppy mill. Look up what "puppy mill" is - it isn't a pretty sight.

I don't doubt the people that own this puppy mill is trying to survive in a downward economy. But, they could breed dogs correctly with better standards and get three times the amount. I think they would be respected.

Selling dogs cheaply just means that they are taking these dogs and turning them out to whoever wants one. Which means that irresponsible pet owners buy them. This means these dogs will be going to the shelter and being euthinized if not placed with a home.

My speech is only to make you think about a few things. Adopting. Or saving your money and going to a quality breeder and getting the dog that has not come from a puppy mill. You should be proud of your dog and where you get it from. You shouldn't have to say that you got your dog from a fast food parking lot. Come on people. Think about it.

Well said Agreed. Let them go get a real job, I have no pity for people who make their money off of voiceless creatures, just because they can. They will never treat their dogs the humane way, there's no money in that. It's a 9 hour ride from where they come from. When I looked in their van, there was feces and urine on the dogs. They were wiping them off with rags, coated in motor oil. Do you honestly think they stop and let hundreds of puppies out to go to the bathroom? Picture it people...do you think they get a drink of water on the way? These millers should be put behind bars for animal abuse.

Here are the millers USDA number and part of one of their inspection reports. Vist the USDA website and see ALL of their abuse.

Donna & Mike Gray
Jenna Williams

Their USDA number:43A5522

Dogs cats gold fish all are live stock, when for sale it's in the best interest of the owners to raise them well to get the best price, difference is we don't eat them ( usually) dont like they way they are raised don't buy them . Hey gotta go and get some veal cutlets from the butcher in plainfield mmmm good!

Like I said. My dogs were delivered to MY HOME. They were not covered in feces, motor oil or urine! If they are as bad as you "claim", REPORT THEM to the correct authorities. As far as MY experience, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS! I've searched high and low for other negative complaints and this is the only site that pops up! How many have done business or come close to doing business with them? Probably none. Moving on...

Not true "dimples" I did come close. I guess your standards for living are not as high as the rest of us ...let me guess ... you yourself live in filth. You eat fast food. You don't work out or take care of yourself - your dogs I am sure aren't well taken care for. I don't mean to attack you - but maybe it is time for your to just accept the fact that these people might not be breeding dogs to a high standards. Maybe to yours ... but to others here in America - yes it is not humane.

The parents of your dog are still sitting in a cage, never touching grass, never seeing daylight, no vet care, no human comtact...you are dispicable dimples. You don't know what the USDA is? It's the United States Department Of Agriculture where this information is coming from. You should truly be ashamed of yourself for supporting abuse. Let me know how many defects your dog has when they are older. Trust me, you'll be spending thousands of dollars on their medical bills soon. Good luck to you.

NO reputable breeder would EVER, EVER, EVER release their dogs in the middle of a parking lot. Puppy Millers are notorious for this. As others have already said, PLEASE do your research before bringing a dog home. Do not buy a dog from Missouri unless you have gone to the premise and seen it!!

If their pictures of their puppies don't make you want to be sick - then I don't know what will. These dogs are in awful conditions. It breaks my heart. The coats of the dogs are tangled and matted. They aren't clean. The picture shows the living hell they are in. I have had enough I really have. I am contacting the aspca. Dimples - you are a little suspicious to me in regards to your defensiveness towards these uneducated breeders. I thought I would I would let you know so you can pass along the information to your "friend" - I feel really bad for you. I really do.

Two years ago I bought a puppy from Gray's Kennel. I never owned a dog before, so I honestly had no idea what to research. The dog I chose was clean and pretty and I didn't look at any of the other breeds on the website besides the peekapoos. They did arrange to me meet with the puppy. I had to work, so my sister picked the dog up for me. When we got her she had pink fingernail polish stuck to her coat!! She is also cross eyed and has an underbite ( didn't show on website) I still own her and luckily she is healthy, probably because I regularly take her to the vet. I was young at the time and honestly didn't know. Knowing what I know now, I would NEVER buy another dog from them. I have also checked out their website since then and the dogs do look filthy and sad on the pictues. They have no decency to at least bathe/groom them before pictures!!! It's so sad. I aslo noticed that a lot of the other dogs were cross eyed too. NOT A GOOD SIGN

There is no such breed as peekapoo. It's a mixed breed dog aka mutt.

I'm well aware of that. I know that she's a pekingnise mixed with a poodle. Thanks
