Why go to Mexico? West Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi have hundreds of puppy mills with sickly mange infested puppies to ship to unsuspecting fellow citizens. The USDA turns a blind eye to the mills in this area. There are flea markets in the area, First Mondays, as they are called where one can see scabies infested, sickly, and heartworm infested dogs for sale from all over the country. Ironically, there are research dog buyers to get the older dogs at these events and leave the puppies for the animal lovers.
