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%.

We have exceptional customer service and experience purchasing our newest member of the family. They really let us be apart of the our Kamala's growth, we did FaceTime to see the puppies, they would send us periodic update with pictures including her weight and they give us the option to microchip her. We really felt very comfortable dealing with them and everything went smoothly including pick up they drove half way to meet us up and gave us the vaccine record and AKC Registration. We are blessed to have found Vicky and David White on puppyfind.com and look forward to sending updates on our Kamala.

After purchasing a puppy & having huge fear issues with the puppy from Doodles and Poodles.com through Puppyfind.com (which continue to today after spending over $2,000 on trainers) & the breeder basically saying to bad. I tried to leave a true & valid review of the breeder so that future buyers would be aware and not make a sight unseen purchase as I did. Now the puppy is over a year old and it's obvious now that the breeder also lied about the future size of the dog. I sent verification of the purchase they refused to publish my review without written reports from a dog behaviorist and my vet. I had explained to the breeder that I had an Autistic son and therefore would have expected them not to sell me a basket case for a companion for him, the dog is afraid of him because he makes odd gestures and sudden movements. I had dogs for him his entire life and never expienced anything like this. I think buyers need to be aware that this site isn't really about the buyer it only cares about having sellers list.

Constant disappointment
November 2, 2020

Several times I have found a puppy on this site. I contact the seller, they say the puppy cannot be picked up until a later date. I ask can you put a hold on the puppy, they say yes. I take a vacation day so I'll be home I contact the seller a day in advance, everything is good. Then all of a sudden someone puts a deposit on the puppy & the seller says they are selling the puppy to someone else. Never once do they say a deposit is needed, and I actually pay to be on this site. Don't waste your time here, unless you want your time wasted.

Hello,

It's unfortunate that you did not have a good experience with that seller. PuppyFind.com is a bulletin board service and is like answering an ad in a newspaper, and is only meant to be a means of contact.

It is up to each individual seller on how they handle deposits and sales. Hopefully you have found a new seller to work with on purchasing a puppy.

Breeder name Allen C.

I have recently bought a Yorkie from a breeder name Allen C. If you come across any of his ads I highly recommend him! He made the process of getting my lovely dog so easy! I would definitely buy another dog from him!

Pampered Puppies
September 27, 2020

We purchased a Biewer Yorkie Terrier for my daughter from Janelle at Pampered Puppies (toypomeranian.com). We could not have asked for a better experience. She is so kind and cares so well for her pups. She has a few different breeds so if you're in the search for a small breed puppy, we highly highly recommend her!

I was looking for months to find the right puppy. I looked on every website and then I looked on puppyfind and found Peaceful Acres Bernese and they had really good reviews. I message Rose and she was really nice and caring. She messages me back right away with the information that I needed. I went to go see the puppy that I wanted, when I met her and her family they were really loving and you could see that she took care of her dogs, not a puppymill. I took home Bailey (black) and my dad bought Blu (gray). They made the experience amazing and I'm happy that i met them because I got the best dog that I have always wanted.

Barbara Mullinax's kennel in Central SC is the best place to find a dachshund puppy. After losing our 14-year old dachshund to cancer, we searched for a reasonably priced puppy - it had to be a black and tan longhair. We found just what we were looking for at her kennel - Frankie is a wonderful addition to our family. The kennel area was spotlessly clean - the dogs were well cared for and well loved. We would highly recommend Barbara and her kennel.

We have two corgis that we found on puppyfind. We got them from Aspen Meadows Ranch Corgis in Colorado. They are extremely healthy and very social. I actually loved the first pup so much I saved for two years to get a second one. The breeder, Judy, is so great in how she socializes the pups before the get to the forever home. Just couldn't be more happy!
