I hate it too. there are soo many responsible breeders and people act like they are all puppy mills. Even my labs who's breeder didn't do a million health clearances, had long healthy lives. Not a single one of them had hip dysplasia or other issues large dogs normally get. I didn't know what i do now about health testing for dogs. I am getting health-tested labs from now on but I think a lot of the health issues are mostly due to puppy mills and inbreeding.
