If I could give then negative stars I would. The wife was very nice and insisted on cash. I needed a poodle mix because of my allergies. After enduring excessive shedding, I ordered a Dog DNA test. Turns out yes indeed he is Yorkshire Terrier but has 0% poodle. He is instead mixed with Australian Shepherd and Corgi. This makes a huge difference. After spending money to have him neutered, shots, and pet training I cannot keep him because my allergies are completely out of control. I am crying as I write this review because I love this dog so much and I have to rehome him due to my severe allergies. When I called him he insisted that the dog was a Yorkipoo and that DNA tests are not valid. Really? Also why would he shed? They said return him for a refund. Why would I return this cute innocent dog to people who treat him like a commodity. They'd either put him down or resell him again as a Yorkipoo. I'd rather have him go to a good home. So buyer beware! These people will lie to your face and take your money with no qualms whatsoever.

I did a lot of research on the particular breed I wanted for many months. I thought it would be safer to buy from a reputable breeder but I had reservations about that as well. Up my 10 to 20 visit to the Lancaster puppies website I saw many adorable puppies for sale and offered a lot cheaper than the breeders I made inquiries to. Still not having made a decision as I browsed my preferred breed in Lancaster puppies again I saw what would eventually become my dog. I did my research on Lancaster puppies again and even found some reviews from previous customers on YouTube. I decided to go through with a purchase for my olde English bulldogge puppy and was able to make a secured payment directly to the breeder via consumer safety directly to breeder on the Lancaster puppy website I arranged for shipping and had my puppy with 48 hours, he has been given a 100% clean bill of health and is absolutely amazing. Do your research on the breeder you chose and always if doing a long distance transaction use a breeder that accepts pay pal of the consumer safety group they protect both seller and consumer. But yes Lancaster puppies is legit

We located several dog breeders on Lancaster puppies, which is a classified website for dog breeders. They are not dog breeders themselves. It's a classified site same as your local newspaper has a classified section. Since it's my responsibility to communicate with dog breeders, search for my puppy, do my due diligence and research, that's exactly what I did. We made appointments to view a few different puppies and we did finally settle on a goldendoodle from a very nice Farm in Pennsylvania. They had approximately 14... 15 dogs total, they did goldendoodles and labradoodles. It was a nice organized inspected kennel. We picked out our puppy and he has turned out great... perfectly healthy and now we're on our way to pick up our second puppy a year later, from a different breeder. Since the first one didn't have any available till summer. No issues no problems and you just have to do the leg work yourself. It should be apparent to anybody that you have to look over your dog and your paperwork before you purchase. That's common sense. We are happy. I would adopt a third dog from this classified site but I don't need three dogs. Two is plenty. Lol. Happy puppy hunting. Stay positive.

Marion and Liz Yoder were excellent in assuring our puppy got to us healthy and smoothly. They kept in contact with us everyday during the buying process and answered any questions we had, sent us pictures and really kept us up to date with anything going on. They drove our puppy, a corgipoo to us from Ohio to NYC and I couldn't be more happy. She came healthy, clean, vaccinated and playful as ever. If you are interested in breeders from Lancasterpuppies, these are your people.

This is a site that lists dogs for breeders or for someone trying to sell their puppy. I am extremely happy with my puppy that I bought from this site. Seller was honest and everything was perfect... The site can not help if someone lists a puppy and it's a scam... I will recommend Lancaster pets to everyone... THANK YOU for having a website so I could find puppy.

Lancaster Puppies is a horrific puppy mill. Do not believe the pictures - this is one of PA's worst puppy mills. This a Puppy Mill - it is NOT an Adoption Center. DO NOT BUY, rescue from a REAL shelter.

We live in west virginia. Traveled to upper state New York to adopt our puppy from a nice family, had a nice little sized kennel. 10 months later great lil cockapoo pup, fully trained. Great demeanor. Brings lots of joy to our family. We are returning to lancasterpuppies.com to adopt another. We love their site. Looking for a cavapoo this time. Great site

Landcaster appears to be a listing service for multiple breeders. Sunny Bank Farm, Eli Glick was as careful with us as we of him. Eli wanted to be sure we could take this on. Met friendly Mom, 4 healthy and happy pups and had time to meet them all. Our pup Holly was everything we hoped for, and is shockingly smart. We couldn't be happier.

So to begin this, I was looking for a German Shepherd Puppy, and I thought I found the one. He was adorable but expensive, $1,500 but I thought he was worth it. Of course, I looked up everything about the breed and all that. I googled the Breeder's name. Turns out he was a puppy mill breeder who is horrible to his dogs! I read the article. He has a kennel and got approved to hold 100+ dogs! He even says in his own words that when a male or female isn't fertile anymore he will hit it with a rock to kill it, bury it alive, shoot it, choke it, and even more very inhumane ways were described. People please, please, please do your research! You don't want to support this! The puppy your getting has likely not been socialized. That puppy is probably not purebred and if it happens to say it has champion bloodlines it probably doesn't. That puppy that's so cute in the picture online was all groomed up and was probably touched for the first time to take pictures. That puppy lives in a cage, ontop and under other cages. When the dogs above go to the bathroom it comes down on that puppy and when that puppy goes to the bathroom, it goes to the dogs and puppies below it. That puppy's father is likely not hip certified and most likely abused. That puppy's mother is overbred. Constantly getting bred. One litter, then sometimes even before she stops producing milk that mom is bred again. She's bred until she is not fertile then, she is either killed in an inhumane way or sold to another breeder at a dog auction. A dog auction is where breeders bring dogs and puppies and the highest bid wins. That puppy's parents are suffering because people don't really do research. That puppy's parents could be dead right now because they are no longer fertile. This is not all Amish but from my research, it's a lot more than you think. I think we need to fight for justice for these poor pups! And no, I did not buy that puppy, though it is pronounced sold.

I can't even give them one star. I contacted them after I was defrauded by one of their listing Breeders, with specific information. The breeder represented on the site that the puppy was a Maltipoo---and it is actually a mix of five breeds. Lancaster said that, indeed, the puppy looked like a Shih Tzu (the actual dominant breed), and that they would "look into it". I have received no response from them and they continue to allow this Breeder to list similar puppies on the site. The Breeder's name is Bunny Hutchinson of Eden, New York. Avoid her at all costs.

Thankfully, I did not buy a puppy through this website. But, I almost did. I spoke with three of their "reputable" breeders. All three people were nice people, and there dogs may be fine. But, they were not breeders. For each interview I asked, "Are you a breeder or did you just get lucky with a litter of puppies?" All three answered they just got lucky and were not actually in the breeding business. Three for three! Not sure how landcasterpuppy vetted them, but it obviously was not thorough.

I got a puppy from a guy by the name of Wayne Troyer in Applecreek, OH. We were sent updated pictures after asking for them to be sure we were not being scammed and spoke with him over the phone. The puppy is a Jack Russel/Toy Fox Terrier Mix. At first we we're skeptical as we have never used an online site for a puppy before but we decided to go anyway. When we got there the people were nice and the area the puppies were in was extremely clean. The puppies were kept with the mother for 8-10 weeks (full term) before even posted and kept in a warm clean environment. They were handled by children and adults, smelt great, looked super healthy, and were super sweet. Upon meeting the puppies we got the one we chose and were given the vaccination papers/vet check papers. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend with extensive research!

We adopted our German Shepherd Justin (Bo) from an Amish farm in central Pennsylvania and we couldn't have asked for a better dog. The family running the farm was very friendly, took good care of the dogs. The puppy was ultra friendly, potty trained himself for the most part, and gets along great with our current dog. The price for the puppy was decent and we were presented the papers during the pick up. We are highly satisfied with Lancaster Puppies, and the Amish family we adopted from!

We found our perfect little guy, Bandit, on Lancaster Puppies. We drove from North Carolina to Ohio for pick up. The Yoders welcomed us into their home and when they brought Bandit to meet us he was well socialized with the family, including two small children. All shots and deworming had been done and properly recorded. Bandit was micro chipped and very healthy. The Yoders provided food as well as a blanket with his MoMA's scent. Wonderful experience. Bandit is a year old now.

This site does not vet breeders responsibly. They allow breeders who have been cited for mistreatment and neglect and breed solely for profit. I can't imagine they are not aware of this, given that the breeder, OWEN YODER (as well as the names of sellers he disguises himself under), is listed as one of the "Horrible Hundred" puppy mills in Ohio. This website should never allow this breeder to advertise. The puppy received was sick and underweight. I did email them about it and they said they'd "double check the account". I won't hold my breath but will update this review if anything promising becomes of it. Let's hope they do the right thing.

Update 01/08/2021:
Numerous emails were sent out as a follow up and this site has done NOTHING to prevent more puppies from being sold through this "breeder". The least they could do is remove "prevent puppy mills" from their homepage given that they are completely complicit in allowing these operations to continue.

Update 04/21/22:
Owen Yoder is still selling puppies on this site. This site is nothing more than a online puppy mill, and those running it know exactly that.

Bottom line: DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM THIS SITE! If you can get a purebred puppy in a matter of weeks, you are getting it from a puppy mill. Simple as that. Reputable breeders have long waiting lists and limited amounts of litters. DO YOUR RESEARCH! LOOK UP WHAT A PUPPY MILL REALLY IS!
