Places like your local pet shop will often get their dogs from puppy mills. Puppies sold online more times than not also come from puppy mills. A responsible breeder would never just hand off a dog without meeting the person who is looking to buy. Most operators of puppy mills don’t care about the dog’s wellbeing and will sell to whomever if the price is right — no questioned asked.
