I breed about 40 pups per year. I'm in Ohio. Small kennel (11 dogs) licensed. Inspected. Yorkies and the "occasional Morkie.
Been advertising on LP for 10 yrs. People shopping for pups are soooooo RUDE. I keep a rotten-puppy-shopper list lol. Ask me for it. Have 400 names of people u should not sell a dog to. Beware all these younger generations w/ ZERO MANNERS OR RESPECT. Philly area is the worse. Wont even talk to people in philly. Tell them the pup is sold. People from long island & New Jersey are snotty and snarky quite often the rudest. Others will barter so hard, it's insulting to a breeder as if im a flea market. I've said no thank you to an offer of a 1100 less to a lady wearing $200 fake eyelashes. I was verbally attacked & threatened cause I wouldn't lower my price. I had another customer threaten me, turn me in over not letting her and her 6 kids come to my house to visit my pups. I wasnt rude. Just said it wasnt a good idea. No one with 6 kids needs one of my Yorkies. Dear breeders DO NOT SELL THEM YOUR PRECIOUS PUPPY. TOO MANY PEOPLE TO CHOSE FROM. CHOOSE the ones that treat u with kindness. As far as Lancaster puppy site... They cater to Amish breeders not us other breeders so much. Its a nice site tho. Its reasonably priced. This site is classified. Anyone can advertise like a newspaper classifieds section. There is 12,000 breeders on there probably. The ratio of complaints per ratio of puppy sales is very very very low 1% complaints. It's a good site. Be helpful if they remembered who pays them. Dog breeders pay them
If you adopted a dog from the site, make a good review here please. Could use it. As u can see people tend to post bad reviews and will make time for it. But people wont make time to post a good review. Often bad reviews is lead by emotions anger and often lack of info or pure ignorance.

Overjoyed Costumers
April 6, 2022

My husband and I purchased a puppy a few days ago from the nicest, caring and very professional Breanna J in Ohio. Breanna customer service was awesome, she made the process very easy, anserwd all of our question without hesitation. We communicated for over a week allow us to make a Informed decision.The puppy is healthy happy and full of Energy, she was vet checked had her first round of shots as well as micro chipped, her puppies are well cared for. We received all the paperwork as well as a health guarantee for year. I was able to FaceTime with her and the puppy to give a real time interaction as well as the puppy Temperament. Breanna meet us in a central location as we live about three hours away to pick up our puppy. I can not say enough about the wonderful experience we had buying our new fur baby. We also received a Receipt as a proof of purchase I did not upload it as it contains personal information.
Thank You Breanna Johnson

Visited a nice family in the Wellsboro Pa. On a Sunday, wasnt Amish. Bought the cutest lil Toy Poodle mix. Rose is the ladys name, she does two different breeds. $2000 so cute. Their home was lovely & clean, had a few grandkids there, about 8-9 dogs and bred more than a few litters per year but not too many. Very nice set up, in the home, very clean. Filled out an application. They gave us 1 yr guarantee, health records and first vaxx were done. We named him Pip. He is now 1 year old and best little dog. Ended up 7 lbs. Good Toy size. Going back for another. Seen all these reviews. But we had zero issues at all with our breeder choice. We drove 4 hours one way too. Choose wisely i guess. If you visit a place and chose to buy a puppy. Then stuff goes wrong after purchase seems kinda hypocrite to claim later folks are a puppy mill. But YOU went to the person's home and YOU decided it was good enough to buy at that time. Does that make you a puppy mill shopper? So. There ya go. If they weren't a puppy mill the day you went and decided to buy then they arent the day you decide they are because your pup has an issue.

We bought a puppy from here and he's been just fine. People don't seem to realize Lancaster is not a company of puppies. It's like Craigslist for breeders. It's very important that you vet and investigate yourselves. Have the self awareness it requires to notice you're being scammed. Craigslist is constantly in trouble for trafficking, scamming, luring, and fake outs. That's how third party sites are.

I wanted to share my experience hopefully to save the next buyer some time when purchasing from the best of Kentucky puppies from "Amanda". The paper work says Christine Schwartz as the breeder. The dog I purchased when I discussed with Amanda, they advised he could be bred and that he had no genetic health issues. When I picked him up, it was raining outside she rushed by the fact that he has one testicle dropped. Was diagnosed when he was 2 months. (She never mentioned this) until after I drove 4 hours to pick him up and she breezed by this fact twice. The health guarantee/ buyers sellers contract with them essentially makes the buyer assume all cost for what could be a very sick dog- please read carefully the agreement and honestly please just don't purchase from them. They were anxious to get me to purchase him which was a red flag. They advertised parents with different names that aren't even his parents names. Learn from my mistake- don't be swindled this is an Amish puppy mill being "brokeraged" by locals. They didn't advise me of anything including what food he was eating. The person I met with sent me a very unapologetic, rude message about this expensive sick dog they sold me, they have no integrity and their adds are false advertisement.

I was looking for a French Bulldog and wanted to be able to pick a puppy up via a drive. I found Eli Petersheim and inquired about one of his puppies before I was 100% ready to commit. He followed back up with me specifically saying he liked that I described myself as someone who lives alone and works from home so I'd have all of the time to adore the dog but that he had other interested parties. I committed and sent a $500 deposit. Eli sent picture updates before my pick up date and was very forthcoming about the process. Her vet appointment a couple days before I was going to get her revealed a bilateral inguinal hernia. He was extremely honest and offered me a discount as she would need surgery. He gave me the vet information so I could ask all of the medical questions. Once I felt convinced that this was a resolvable issue (I already loved this baby) I drove down to get her. Eli and his children came out and I could see my girl's siblings playing together in a cozy little pen. His children said they wanted me to send pictures because they loved this puppy so much. It was clear she was cuddled and loved and socialized. Today, she's almost 2, got through her hernia surgery beautifully, and remains the most lovable, social dog I could have dreamed. So glad I went with this breeder. I followed through and sent picture updates of her as she grew and he remained responsive and happy to know she was thriving. My little girl is the best pup.

I just had to have my 11 month old puppy have hip surgery and get fixed. The dna showed he was over breed. He also has hip dysplasia. Junior Yoder did not disclose this hereditary condition. Though I did not speak to him I spoke to a family member who didn't care abt this I would never buy a pup from him or his family.

Sweetest Shepsky
February 14, 2022

Like everyone else who purchased a puppy from Landcaster, I was nervous, and reading the reviews did not help. My puppy arrived around 10 weeks old well-behaved and in great shape. I have not had to train him at all to listen. He is a healthy Shepsky, well trained, and very sweet.

Christ@ Lancaster Puppies
February 13, 2022

I wanted to buy Daisy, a yorkiepoo. Christ, from New York called me and said she is mine if I want her. I called her as soon as I saw she called and she didn't answer nor did I get an answering machine this time. I emailed her twice. She finally replied that she sold Daisy because she never heard from me. Does anyone know of other ways I could have contacted the Indian giver?

Love my puppies
January 28, 2022

I got my pup from an Amish family not a puppy mill advertised in Lancaster puppies. This is my second Chihuahua puppy I received from two different families and neither one of them were a puppy mill. Nobody ever scammed you out of your money and my last puppy I got to go up and look at all eight of the puppies and pick out the one I actually wanted. The mommy and daddy right there on the premises. Both of my puppies have been healthy, beautiful, and loving pups. I highly recommend Lancaster puppies.

Hi, be careful, my family and I are very upset about a seller that sold us a Maltipoo puppy on Lancaster puppies website. The seller completely lied to us and told us it was a healthy Maltipoo. After taking the puppy to the vet we discovered she had a hernia surgery, and she also has ear mites. The seller gave us the run around and ignored my text and phone calls. We also did a DNA test and we founded out that the dog is Not a Maltipoo and is a Yorkshire terrier.

Be careful of this seller. She will drive a blue truck and come to you with the puppy. Picture attached of seller. NY, NJ area.

Her supposedly name is Leyla Agirbaser or Leyla Safoglu. Her phone number is *******692

The Kings Goldens
January 15, 2022

We drove from NY to PA for my Golden. The Kings property was spotless and the puppy was well socialized. They walked me through the whole adoption and I was able to see Mom, Dad and siblings. I would highly recommend them. Upon arrival home I went to my vet the puppy was in good health. I would be careful about some of the reviews on this page, the wording is almost identical in several instances. There are die hard people against buying a puppy, but I also have rescued goldens, this time I decided to get a puppy. My advice is do the research and ask questions. I will definitely go back if I decide to get another puppy.

Seemless experience
January 6, 2022

My grandmother has been upset since they had to put their 14-year-old Shi-poo down. She almost got scammed before we found this site. I knew my cousin got a puppy here about a month ago. My daughter and I flew to Ohio to pick up Bella, she is perfect. They provided AKC registration papers, food, and a record of all her deworming and shots. I saw someone else mention the Yoders, we also got Bella from the Yoders. I reached out on Monday and picked her up Wednesday night. If you think it's a puppy mill, investigate, if you think it's a scam ask for multiple forms of proof. I know I talked to two real people on there and there were not a scam nor a puppy mill. Best of luck in your search.

Lazy Employees
December 6, 2021

I listed and paid for a posting on 2:09pm 12-3-21 and the posting was not published until approximately 3:42pm 12-6-21. I sent several forms messages to Lancaster Puppies, and did not receive a response until after the second submission in which in had to threaten to cancel the listing transaction. The female rep that called me lied to me several times stating she emailed me, which she didn't. She stated my listing was listed when I paid for it, but it wasn't. Ten minutes before she called the listing was not posted. During the call I checked and my listing had just been posted when she called which put my listing as the first puppy on the page. If it had been listed for several days, it wouldn't have been first. Lastly, when I wanted her to credit my listing for the days it wasn't listed she refused and when I requested to speak to a manager she insisted no one in the company is higher than her. Basically, this lady didn't do her job and was trying to cover herself. She then threatened to block my account if I cancel the transaction. Lancaster Puppies has shady personnel.
