I wished I knew about this site long time ago. I it easy to find what you want, when you want and the right location. I have been searching for a great German Shepherd and prices was so high that it was like buying a use car. But on this site I was able to find everything I wanted for a great price. The best part is I did it from my home without the pressure to purchase. I picked up my dog the day I found him and he is great! The breeder even gave me food, a carrying cage and toy. Thank you
Find the perfect puppy from a honest breeder: Check the time of membership (new sellers are not a sure thing); find how many puppies the seller has available; only one breed or a verity and of all ages. Most great breeders specialize in one breed only and and take pride in their dogs. Stay away from the great verity sellers.
This way I found my perfect puppy.
These people are Scam artist, I thought to trust them while buying our Cane Corso $1000, man was I wrong. For the first month people kept asking me his breed so we got a dna test. Surprise after another 45 days growing closer and closer to our family we finally get the results. Not 1% Cane Corso. I reached out to them at the second number they use+1 (786) they insisted (382) he was Cane Corso at first (6333), then after the results (Great Dane American BullDog Rot an others) "oh we will take him back and you wait one month we'll give you a Cane Corso. Firstly my family has grown to love our dog, Secondly they were selling a Great Dane for $400 yet I paid $1000 for our pup. Thirdly I asked for less than difference be sent back $400 and he goes on to tell me he never gives money back and he doesn't answer many people's call and I should be happy he's answering mine.
I do not like their new set up. If you put in that you only want to see purebreds they include doodles and other mutts in that search. Doodles ARE BADLY BRED MUTTS bred by puppymills and backyard breeders. When I have complained about this to them directly they give a lame reason for it. But I think they don't care. They won't fix it on their site it's been like this since they changed the site. Good breeders can be found on this site but you have to look hard and ask questions. We should be making it harder for puppymills to sell their puppies not easier. Makes me think this site was set up by people who run puppymills.

By their own supposition they blocked my account during paid subscription time! I provided all requested documents, my puppies, website and personal info. They acted as they are Homeland security alike Unfortunatelly, after all documents sent they denied anyway to bring my account back on. But the most amazing issue is - they ve never refunded my subscription payment!
Who is the scammer at the end?

I purchased a teacup yorkie from Milla Khrystenko in Quakertown,Pa. It died of parvo. Do not buy her puppies. She's a liar and money greedy
This site is now puppies.com and it is horrible! The customer service is dismal, but beyond this, there are only scammers looking to scam buyers and sellers alike. I used puppyfind, inthe past, and sold multiple litters. My ads were never posted initially. I had to update my profile and even after, the pups were buried in 70k+ worth of ads.

This company condones cyber bullying. I recently purchased a puppy from a breeder. However, the puppy ended up being extremely underweight with worms. When I wrote a review about the state of the puppy, the breeder got aggravated stating I am crazy and I have mental health problems. When I reported the review, puppies.com stated it outlined their guideline to allow a breeder call others mentally crazy because they got caught in their scam.
Hello,
Puppies.com does not condone cyber bullying. Our last correspondence stated that we would request the seller update their response regarding the statement in question.

It was our 1st time buying/owning a puppy. We trusted the breeder, gave her deposit except when we picked up 8 weeks old puppy we found out that all the required shots was administered by the breeder and not licensed Veterinarian. To make the matter worse the puppy had diarrhea. We took the puppy to the Vet & found out puppy had ear infection and inside the ear was filthy. So, please check breeders credentials before purchasing any pets, we don't want anyone to experience what we went through.

I recently purchased my little bundle of joy from Delmar Hochstetler in Middlebury Indiana. So blessed God placed Delmar in my life when I was about ready to give up on finding my fur baby. Such a nice man. Highly recommend him. I have since renamed Archie Parker and he's turning into being my special little cuddle bug. So Blessed. D. KONKLE
Unbelievable, I posted some puppies which I have done for years, and someone posted claiming they bought a puppy over a years ago, which never happened to this fake claimed person, turns out it was a competitor, i contacted puppies.com and was told-they could do nothing as the person "claimed" to have bought a puppy, which never happened, after this event puppies.com should disable and remove posting-testimonial section. At this point I will not continue/or ever again use them, and will share this w/everyone I know. "great job" puppies.com-formally puppyfinder,

I had a horrible experience with Puppies.com
I recently met 2 sellers and they were not breeders. Puppies were very different from their Pictures and
My recent visit was horrifying. The poor puppy was described to me as half Teacup and half Toy. After one hour drive...I had to meet the puppy outside on the porch...He was shivering from cold weather, had a very arch back, very sad and could not even stand on his two feet. His name was Star and the sellers name was Jessi. My husband and I asked if she could bring a blanket for him since she did not want us inside the house...she replied, do you have one for him cause I don't. We said good night and told her we would be in touch. Very very worried about the poor 5 month old puppy...he was skinny but felt like he was over 4 pounds. My question to puppies.com is, how do you let these poor puppies get sold by these scammers and never check or inspect them.We drove back home in tears feeling sorry for the poor thing who did not look well at all. I've also texted and talked to may breeders whom did not follow up with me, very unprofessional people with very little ability to speak proper English.

There are way too many shady breeders/sellers on this site. Make sure you ask for current photos and videos. If they don't, move on they're scamming you. There are too many breeders who are selling too many different types of dogs and are only looking to take your money and don't care if they're selling unhealthy puppies.

I was scammed out of $400 by "Reba Hook" of majestic kennels in poplarville, ms. Puppies.com is a puppy mill site.
Reba Hook isn't even her real name. She took my deposit and refuses to return my deposit. She's the person that backed out of the sale.

Had a very great experience buying my Maltipoo from Arlene. I would definitely recommend her if anyone wants to buy a puppy.
We got a puppy that was advertised in Anaheim, Ca. When we inquired she was in. Chula Vista a town that borders Mexico. She said the puppy was two months but the puppy was really only 4-5 weeks old as confirmed by a vet. She admitted the dog was born in Tijuana and brought over. We were given a false shot record from Mexico. Fortunately the puppy was very healthy and we were experienced in caring for young puppies. She continues to post with different user names.
Hello,
So glad your puppy is healthy and doing well. There are Report and Block buttons on every account and in the message center that you can use to report users so we can review their account and take necessary action. You also have the option to post a testimonial on the seller's account about your purchase if you purchased the dog from a listing that was posted on Puppies.com.

This company PuppyFind.com Now Puppies.com is a scam, they allow anyone to sell their puppies on their site, without being certified. The company will only suspend accounts that file reports of scam breeders, they turn a blind eye to the scam. Check the BBB website for reviews on Puppies.com. I would not use their service at all, I went here to purchase my fur friend from a breeder on puppies.com I had set up a day and time to pick up my puppy when the seller did not respond. I went to their page to find out they had changed the price of the puppy for more than it was when I set up a time to pick up the puppy. Puppies.com turn a blind eye to this stating they do not get involved with any process of a sale of a dog. I went to leave negative feedback on a seller who I was going to buy my puppy friend to find out that my feedback was removed from their profile. But puppies.com don't get involved unless you are the buyer. SCAM SITE! Go to another site to get your puppy
