Update
On Friday, March 6, at 8:30pm,CBC television’s investigative consumer show Marketplace will broadcast a new episode reporting on puppy mill dogs. 
                                                                                                          
From the CBC Website:oming Up Friday, March 6 “How Not to Buy a Puppy”

How much do you know about that puppy in the window? As Wendy Mesley reports, some store-bought puppies may have a sick and secret history.

CVMA representatives were consulted during the research phase of this episode to share knowledge regarding puppy mills. The following documents were provided for reference:

CVMA Position Statement on Puppy Mills

Code of Practice for Canadian Kennel Operations

Checklist for Acquiring a Dog

Although the CVMA contributed to the research conducted for this program; we have not viewed the final episode and are therefore unaware of the entire content.
