My Opinion The pictures are helpful

The pictures are helpful, as well as, the descriptions. I wish it were a requirement that all puppies parents be pictured, along with the puppies. I think it would be helpful to know if the puppies have been vet checked, and if so are those papers available for the buyer to view. I have purchased puppies from this website and the puppies are registered, but that information was not in the description, I had to ask the breeder. I don't know what the website looks like for the sellers when they are putting in the description, but if the options were just there for the seller to check off, maybe they would list these things.

They won't post my review of a breeder who sold me a puppy with severe issues

I got a puppy from their site that has severe BOAS and significant narrowing of its trachea. He needs surgery within the next few weeks to help him breathe. The breeder ignored me when I told them and hasn't responded back to me. I went to leave a review and I was told that since it their first offense, they won't post my review. So buyer beware. The breeders name is Wes and Beulah Miller in Dundee ohio. Do not buy a bulldog from these people unless you have thousands of dollars to spend on Bradyceohaloc airways obstruction syndrome surgery. There is no fix for this guys tracheal hypaplasia. Lancaster puppies is doing everyone a disservice by hiding reviews like this. They are helping the puppy mills. A reputable company would protect its consumers.

I dont understand what is happenning or what but the calls I got were all scammers trying to place deposits and then get money back by Zelle, Venmo, they say they pay the dog and then they say that payment is pending and that you have to go to another source and then they try to scam you for you to return a extra money the supposedly deposited, I dont think is the organization Problem, but be aware of this situation, dont fall for it!!!

Hi Cecilia,

Thank you for sharing your experience and for helping to raise awareness about potential scams. We completely agree that it is very important for buyers to stay alert and never send deposits through unsecured payment methods like Zelle or Venmo.

All legitimate breeders on our platform should communicate and accept payments through safe, traceable methods only. We encourage anyone who receives suspicious messages to report them directly to us so we can block the accounts involved.

Omg this is my first pet in my family

Omg my this is my first puppy for my family. We are so excited he is so sweet and his face is priceless. My process was easy and the family we got him from was very helpful. We got lost but try to find the location, the mother of the family was able to help us. I would highly recommend this company. Lancaster Pa’s Amish family is wonderful.

Lancaster PA best puppy ever

We bought a puppy from an Amish Family in Lancaster PA and we met his brother, mother and father of the puppy. The puppy had a small issues with his knee that he will grow out of. The breeder was honest and gave us an amazing deal for a purebred shih tzu. Our Julius is amazing and we could not be happier he has a sweet personality and has been very trainable. Thank you Lee you gave us our dream puppy

I got my puppy from the Lancaster puppies in PA on December 2023. This Friday, January 2025, I had to make the difficult decision to put my 3 years old baby to sleep. He was diagnosed with diabetes, inherited from his parents. I was not informed about his parent’s health conditions. We spend a lot of money in caring for my baby. I hope no other family goes through what we experienced. The guilt to have to make that decision is horrible. I pray to God to forgive me for our decision. I did not want my baby to suffer.

I got my best friend from this site. She is one of the biggest blessings not only to me but others around her. She’s a 3k dog and thankfully I got her for $500. I had the best experience with Lancaster puppies. I can’t say enough great things about them.

Bought a Jack Russell from Benuel Allgyer

Bought a Jack Russell Terrier from one of the breeders they advertise for. It was an Amish family. They know what they were doing. They removed my puppy from his parents several hours before we took him. He didn’t cry or miss his mommy at all. He’s been nothing but a little gentleman. Learning and adapting extremely quickly. They let us look at his parents. Neither looked like they were prone to allergies, or hip dysplasia. The gene pool looked ideal. I’m very happy with my puppy. From the price to the experience and transitioning. I wanted to rescue a Jack Russell but way too many people who were registered with the shelters attempting to rehome their Jack Russells and were changing their mind last minute and were agreeing to rehome them, but were deciding to keep them at the last minute. This adoption and rehoming industry is a joke! I got really annoyed and was done playing games and just got a puppy and am very happy with the puppy I have!

Lancaster Puppies Site Is Horrible!

I live in NYC. I traveled 10 hours to Harrisburg, PA for a beautiful male Pomsky that was advertised on LancasterPuppies.Com. This puppy's name was Blaze. He had piercing blue eyes and the bottom half of his face was Black. The rest of him was mixed with Black and tan. I paid $200 for Amtrak which included a fee to bring back a dog. I also made a $150 down payment on Blaze. The seller was Amish. When I arrived, Marvin King tried to tell me it was the same dog. Clearly it was not. The dog he showed me was mostly brown, had 1 left light blue eye and the right eye was half blue and half brown. His nozzle was longer and the fur texture and coloring was different as well. This puppy looked like a German Shepherd mix. I literally called the police on the spot who told me that it was a civil matter but Mr. King agreed to give me my $150 back on the spot. I was shocked as Amish people are usually known for being spiritual and honest people. I guess they're liars like most people. To make matters worse, when I went to the seller's page to "report ad" Lancaster's website would not allow me to do so and gave an error message. This Pomsky puppy Blaze is still being advertised on Lancaster. It is best to ask for current pictures and proof of vaccination prior to sending any down payments. This puppy was in PA. I am trying again with a seller from Ohio who answered all of my questions and shows the dog's mother and father on the selling page and also guarantees 1 year good health. This new seller also showed me current pictures and a video of the puppy playing with his siblings. UPDATE: I bought the Pomsky from Ohio (they charge a $300 delivery fee). This was a much better experience. However, the only negative is that the selling page/seller stated "vaccinations are up to date." Again, A LIE. My puppy was 15 weeks old and only had 1 Distemper 5-IN-1 vaccination and they need 3. He also did not have his rabies shot. I paid a really fair price for him so the extra $200 I had to spend to give him all required vaccinations wasn't too bad. But please ask for proof of vaccinations and any other claims that the seller states. My new Pomsky puppy is a bundle of energy and as adorable as can be!

My experience was great with the…

My experience was great with the website and the breeder we had chosen for our red heeler puppy. The breeder was very friendly and helpful with us choosing our puppy, also worked with us as well in making arrangements until picking him up. He was guaranteed a 10 day veterinary health certificate and our puppy was very healthy as he said that he would be. The website was very helpful as well, helped us out with our questions and concerns, communication was great as well. Definitely worth it, our puppy is going to be a year old on July 29,2024, I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a AKC breed, this is the best place I recommend.. We are very satisfied!!!!
