I have been scammed twice on this site. Two different sellers. Two different dogs.
Two different years. Took a loss of $1000 total. Tracked the first breeder to Nigeria. He Had no dogs. Just pics he took off of other breeders sites. 2ND TIME: SAME THING. Tracked him to India.
Puppyfind was not helpful at all. I reported it to several different agencies.
I learned that if you buy from puppyfind it is at YOUR OWN RISK! THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBITY FOR THEIR SELLERS!
BUYER BEWARE!

Hello,

It's unfortunate that you came across scammers on the website. As a bulletin board service you do have to be careful and do your homework. We have Buyer Tips on every listing to assist in having a safe transaction, one of which states 'Do not make any payments through cash-transfer apps or services such as Western Union or MoneyGram.' It's important to use a form of payment that can be disputed so you can recoup your money if something goes wrong. We do our best to keep the scammers off the site and remove them as soon as possible when found or reported.

Hopefully you have since found a good seller to work with. If you have additional questions about how the site works please contact us at [email protected].

I do not recommend Gloria Duvall at Silver D puppies. She doesn't health test and sells puppies with health conditions and won't make it right. The male I bought from her came back with a clotting disorder that would be passed down to 50% of his offspring. I paid for full breeding right and now cannot use him as a stud. He also came back with ALT level may be Low Normal. Has two copies of a variant in the GPT gene and is likely to have a lower than average baseline ALT activity. She health guarantees for a year supposedly but only if pup dies within that first year. But even then I doubt she would make it right. She supposedly has good standing with Akc and usda licensed. When we picked him up he smelled so bad like he had been living in filth.

Puppy find is a great site. Do your homework when looking for a puppy, no matter what website you choose to shop. For me, shopping by picture is risky. Can you see the available puppies? Selecting a puppy by its personality is far better than choosing one from an image.

We purchased our JR from Tracey Martin in Tulsa OK, she is the most amazing woman and breeder you could ever ask for, you can't imagine the time, love and care she spends breeding her puppies, before we purchased our puppy I did so much research, and God found me Tracey, we were blessed that day! Our baby girl Okie is so healthy and beautiful she brings so much joy to our family. I strongly recommend Tracey Martin if you are looking for a Jack Russell

Be Careful….
October 14, 2021

I inquired about a dog that I thought I would be meeting this weekend, however, the person I thought I was talking to was a nice farmer from the same state as me. Turns out not soooo much- they could not provide me with currently photos via text of the dog when I asked and the photo they did send was the one on the dog's page that turned out to be traced back to China. How I know this? I saved the photo they texted me and saw the time and date on the picture thanks to my iPhone. Just be careful! Who knows what would have happened if I met up with them or if they asked for my money.

DavidsonPups near Lawton Iowa was were we went to get the best cockapoo pup that we could have dream possible. The farm was a real nice place and we could see how all their dogs were healthy and well taken care of. They were also able to answer all our question and help us in any way they could. I would recommend these people to anybody who would want a cockapoo

They have a very serious issue. When it comes to a dispute between a scammer and innocent consumer who got tricked in, puppyfind.com protect scammers by allowing them to remove any bad reviews. It's a vicious cycle- the scammers are able to keep up with ripping off naive customers! What a great fraud friendly company!

We just purchased our darling miniature boarder collie from Shirley Richardd in Sikeston MO. Her son drove to St Louis airport for nominal fee to bring her to me. I am from Arizona and made a 23-hour round trip just to pick her up. They were honest, dependable, reasonable prices. He only charged me $24 for her first two shots. We love our new addition to our family. We would recommend Shirley Richards puppies in the future.

0/5 stars- I withdrew 1800$ cash, sent withdrawal slips and pictures etc to her, she refused to accept venmo, checks, credit cards ONLY CASH and we lived over two hours away. We set up a time to meet, spoke at 7:30 the morning we were supposed to meet as we agreed on the address as I was driving a 5.5 hour round trip drive. She sent pictures and videos via text all four days prior to us reaching out about the dog - and once we arrived she stopped answering all calls and texts. She also made her profile private the same day on puppy find and you had to pay to leave a review. She claims she has been doing this for 24 hours but stood us up- with a 1.5 year old baby in the car. Her number is also now blocked requiring a subscription to see and that number is *******332

As the header states. I bought from a breeder on the site who sold me a dog that nearly died within the first week from coccidia and hookworms and needed several blood transfusions and an extended stay in the hospital. The breeder denied any responsibility when I spoke to them, so I left a review on puppyfind to let others know about my experience. It was disputed and taken down by the breeder and puppyfind requested documentation of my claims. Fair enough, I sent what they asked for. Then they asked for more, so I sent that as well. This was back in early December of 2020. It is now may 2021 and they are still looking for new angles to take my review down, even stating it is my final chance to leave a review for the breeder. If you find a breeder on puppyfind, make sure you have multiple sources to check for the truth about them.

Hello,

It's unfortunate that you did not have a good experience with the breeder you chose to purchase from.

If supporting documentation was provided for the statements in the review then it should be reinstated. Hopefully you will be able to resolve the situation with the seller.

They do not make promises about the dogs or breeders on the site but I found my dog on this site and I have been thrilled with the results. I wanted a Toy Australian Shepherd and that is exactly what I got. She has been DNA tested with Wisdom Panel and she is 100% Australian Shepherd, and she weighs 7 lbs. I am very happy I discovered Puppy Find and have recommended the site to several people.

I was sold 2 puppies that were advertised as from purebred parents, and one parent was 50% undesirable breed. Besides that, their paws had caked on $#*!, and the dogs were physically abused. All of this has been documnted with Indiana county humane society, and PA AG's office. Left a review on puppyfind for the miscreant seller (in commodore PA), and was told unless I had a copy of the ad, they would remove it. What kind of website does not kee p copies of their ad's. Especially when they have been long documented using that loophole to remove negative feedback.

Vicky was fantastic during the entire adoption process. From the initial contact and conversation, up until the day we picked up our gorgeous puppy, Vicky kept my wife & I well informed and sent us plenty of pictures of the growing pups. She was very professional and thorough, and made sure we had all of our paperwork. Highly recommend!

This couple was the best people to work with when purchasing a dog from. Contact was easy, they sent pictures videos and messages about the dogs at least once a week. Pick up process was great they met us and had all the information and went over the information with you. I would recommend these people 100%.
