Ay, chihuahua

Any idea what the largest puppy mill seizures have been?

A puppy mill was just shut down outside of town here, and the Humane Society took possession of 752 dogs. That's right - 752. Most of them were Chihuahuas, plus some Yorkies, Lhasa Apsos, and a few other breeds. I've never heard of such a large number of dogs being taken from one site, but my Google-fu is failing me. I'm wondering what the biggest such seizures have been.

Check this for all sorts of stats. They even have RSS for mad updating.

Over 1,100 were rescued from a mill in Virginia, but The Post only called it, "one of the largest such illegal operations ever found in the state."
