We had a great experience. The family we got our perfect, healthy 9 week old Collie/Poodle pup from were very nice and accommodating. We drove 6 hours from home, spent the night then picked him up the next morning in Shreve, OH. His momma was onsite and we got to meet her, she is a beautiful dog and was well cared for. We got his health records and set up his first well check with our vet when we got home. He had a very good check up. Dr. Said he is a healthy boy! He's very smart, we've had him almost 3 weeks now. He's already housebroken & has mastered several treat motivated tricks. We have absolutely no regrets and wouldn't hesitate to buy from this family again.

I drove from New Jersey to redensberg, PA after her breeder did not hesitate for me to come meet her and get her. The moment I saw her I fell in love! These people In NJ are getting dogs from here and reselling it for 5k ripping people off. My baby girl is the best Labrador companion I got! She even came with a start of dewormer shots and distemper shot. Awesome experience!

I placed a deposit on a mini bernedoodle who was supposed to be transported to NJ tomorrow morning from Millersburg Ohio. I got a text from James the breeder an hour ago saying the puppy has lice and needs to be treated and will be delivered next week. Ive had dogs all my life and never knew lice were even a possibility. I am worried this is a sick dog and am not sure what to do. I read that lice can carry tapeworms. I have other dogs and do not want them to get sick.

We purchased a Mini Bernedoodle/, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Mix from a breeder in PA
We spoke 2 times on the phone and our puppy was still available.
We went on July 6th and the second I saw this Puppy, I knew we were taking her home.
She was so much adorable in person. The Breeder answered all of my questions and have vet records for us to take with us and enough food for several days to give us time to get the same food.
We named our puppy Mitzi and she had her 1st check up with our Vet on July 8th and she is perfectly healthy

We just adopted Chase from Jacob Byler in Belleville PA and are thrilled. The farm is in great condition and they clearly take great care of the puppies. We were given health records showing vaccinations and vet visit. Very nice family. Chase is adjusting well.

I bought a ratshire through their ads (yorkie mom. Rat terrier dad) I got to meet the parents, Gussy is WONDERFUL! We were so impressed that we got a puppy for my son. And a 3rd for my daughter in law! All were vet checked, current on shots and family friendly. Yes all are healthy and we are all happy!

I was searching for the dog and almost get scammed, asking me to pay thru giftcard by some web ad.
I was a bit hesitant to look again around google til I find lancasterpuppies, I contacted the breeder Rachel Yoder and she is good, my hesitations were minimized, I paid the deposit thru bank deposit and paid remaining balance in cash.
My pup came as he is on the pic and video she sent to me. The hand delivery was also good, was on time, keep me updated.
I highly recommend lancasterpuppies, know your breeder, talk to them.

This site in our experience works with sellers who are the middlemen for puppy mills.
We found a dog on this site and fell in love. We were connected to a seller only to learn they weren't the breeder. The breeder was an Amish farm. They couldn't provide a photo of the pups dad. They couldn't let us FaceTime or video chat the dog to make sure he was healthy and well cared for…or real. They requested payment in cash. These are all red flags for puppy mills. The Amish breeder was
In Eastern Ohio, a hot spot for puppy mills.
It broke my heart to walk away and tel the kids we weren't getting the dog after all. Lancaster allows these scammers to connect with well-meaning families and take their money. Beware.

We bought a rat terrier yorkie mix and paid when we got the puppy in hand. A 3 hour drive into beautiful Amish country about 5 weeks ago. A well maintained farm in PA.
Johnathan Peachey was our friendly breeder. Very nice and we love our dog!

Most of these breeders are Amish and Menonite puppy mills. I actually bought a puppy for half of the original listing price, because I thought no one else would. Puppy was covered in flea / mite scabs. Was bald in several spots from excessive itching. Also, the puppy at 3 months was on adult dog food instead of being weaned to a puppy chow.

I have encountered many "sellers" that go by fake names and locations. They post fake puppy pictures and videos. DO NOT send anybody deposit money or a full payment for a puppy until you've actually met the puppy or FaceTimed. $1,500 was stolen from me by a very clever scammer. Please see the images below and steer clear of fake sellers like this. Lancaster puppies is like Craigslist they protect and harbor scammers. They have refused to take action on any of these ads and there have been over 100 people scammed out of money. Typically we've seen them with Yorkshire terriers because they are pricey. I would avoid this website at all cost.

Tips:
-Never spend money without seeing the dog in person or on facetime
-Beware of anyone who only wants to converse over text
-Beware of sellers wanting you to send money to "deliver" the pup. It's a scam
-Ask for references
-Use breeders through a trusted source (friends, Facebook, etc

I purchased a GSD from this site. The "breeder" was nice over the phone and made the pup sound like he was ready to go. When the pup was shipped to me he was much older than originally stated, malnourished, and absolutely terrified of everything. The "vet records" that came with the pup showed he actually didn't receive any of his shots like she said he did. The "vet" also cleared him in good health. I took my GSD to my vet and found out he has bad hips, a skin disease, and was 10lbs under weight. Barbara should be arrested for the state my GSD came in. A few months later we are still working on his skin disease. He unfortunately cannot be a working dog like he was purchased for due to his many ailments. Though I don't care about appearances, for a GSD his ears do not stand and his fur is very patchy. I love him to death, but I can't imagine what the other pups on this site have or are subjected to.

I just bought a purebread puppy from the Lancaster area. I was a little skeptical when I went there since I read there are puppy mills in that area, but our puppy came from a nice family. The mother of the puupies was there with her 2 remaining puppies. The dogs were happy and roaming around the Amish farm. They provided the vaccination records, the information for contacting the vet, ACA paperwork, and the transcation went great. We love our beautiful puppy, she's exactly what we wanted.

I spent months trying to get our first family dog that fit our needs from shelters and rescues with no luck or call backs. So after being priced out of the breeder option and not finding anyone with available puppies we looked at other options. Ideally I wanted a mix to reduce health concerns. I was nervous using lancaster puppies as there was minimal information about the seller and even the pets. After a few weeks of seeing adorable pups I gave in and took a chance and a 4hr drive to pick up our new pup! She is a pugalier and we got to see her parents on site. It was a mennonite family who bred her. They were great only complaint is we paid cash and I do wish other payment options were available for deposit or payments. We have had her for over a month so far perfect health checks and great new family member.

Steer clear of a Dale Miller who is now $200 richer as he would not refund my deposit. Puppy was very cute as is photo but thankfully my son lives in the area and went to check it out. The dog wasn't his, says it's a friend. Didn't know the age, says it was a Morkie but not 100% sure. Had not been to a vet and had a sketchy guarantee that covered nothing basically and was void of dog hadn't been to a vet in 48 hrs of purchase. Both my son and his friend said it was too much of a risk. Ask for the deposit back and was refused! Tough lesson learned but clicked all the boxes of a puppy mill.
