“Fantastic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel”

Stephanie S.
7/7/22

I found my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a breeder on this website. She is perfect. Now almost 10 months old. Healthy, smart, playful. While I support rescue it wasn't for me at this time in my life. CKCS rescue have long wait lists, and the fee's $$$. My Amish breeder was raising one kind of dog in there home, with there children helping. The puppy's were very well cared for. Vet checked, vaccinated Microchip and came with a one-year health guarantee. My puppy is AKC registered.

“Beware of parvo”

Jeanne M.
2/26/23

We bought 2 puppies 10 weeks old and they both have Parvo. We didn't have any paperwork from the seller. We can't prove anything but we don't care as much about the money as we do the fact that he still has puppies for sale on the website after we told him ours were sick. He can continue to sale sick puppies that will likely suffer and die without hospitalization. $2600 later, ours will make it. Cruel to breed if your farm is contaminated. Beware buyers. Forget getting help from humane society m or A.S.P.C.A. We keep getting referred to different agencies. Now it's ohio dept. Of agricultural. What a shame.

I reached out about a female, 11 week old Shiba Inu. The response was immediate. He offered me to come onsite to see the pup. I made the 3 hour drive to Millersburg, Ohio ( Amish town). The home and land was extremely clean. Him and his wife showed me the parents. My pup aaa the last of litter. They gave me Akc paperwork and shot records. A small bag of puppy food and never required a deposit. We have had our puppy just a few days. But so far e eeytgibg seems ok. She has a vet appointment in 2 weeks though. I would definitely purchase another pup from this breeder in the future.

I bought my puppy 8 months ago and she's perfect. I picked her up from a lovely family, the living conditions clean and they were very nice!. NOT ALL OF THESE SELLERS ARE BAD!. Just do your reseach. Have a wonderful day!

Disgusting backyard bred dogs. No health testing come with parvo. These people are a puppy mill. Never ever buy from this establishment.

I seen horrible reviews on this site and was very leary. After further research and talking with the breeder we became more comfortable. I am so glad we found our 2nd love on this site. David Yoder and his wife in Fredricksburgg, OH were wonderful people and sold us the most loving, healthiest pup ever! We are so thankful for them and so is our first pup, she loves her new bestfriend

We bought a mix breed puppy off this site rather than rescuing (which is what I usually do) and I went against my better judgement. This pup was a lot older than what we were told, had never seen a vet and they met us at a public place and wouldn't let us see either parent or where they were being kept. Everything that screams puppymill. I handed over the money and the pup was handed to my son. He has a major defect with his penis and requires thousands of dollars in surgery to fix it because it was left like that for so long. How can someone ignore something so obvious like that. Would not recommend

We were successful in finding a wonderful, healthy mini Pompsky puppy through this site. I texted the seller and she immediately replied and even offered to reduce the price by $300. We drove 2.5 hours to central OH (Amish Country)and were able to see the entire litter in the front yard of the breeder's home. They were all clean, up to date on vaccinations and dewormer, microchpped, and vet checked.
We decided on a different puppy from the one we originally thought we wanted.
My advice is to not buy from anyone who requires a deposit or wants to deliver for an additional fee. It's important to go on-site to make sure it's not a mill.

Saw yorkshire terrier puppy advertised in Bluffton, Indiana for $625. Made arrangements to pick up puppy next day, Paul tells me puppy is well socialized, time with his kids, etc. I get there and there's a huge outside chain link kennel, puppy had never been inside. I pay and then told "no, she's $800", said someone else must have changed the price. This was a straight up puppy mill, brought her home with me after telling him what I thought. Poor thing is terrified, glued to my side. Shame on them! So glad I rescued her. Hoping Indiana officials see this and take action!

We've had our Corgi puppy for a month. He came to us and started in with diarrhea, ear yeast infection,and Giardia! Have spent over $700.00 in vet bills and puppy still has diarrhea. He has been on medication since we brought him home. Terribly disappointing to know they are selling sick puppies to unsuspecting customers. I do NOT recommend them.

I was looking at a puppy for a while and the website said that the pup was still available, I texted them asking if he was and all I got was "no" that's it. And it still says the pups available. Unprofessional.

Tip for consumers:
Nope just that you shouldn't advertise a pup that isn't available and be kinder

Hello Tess, We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with a breeder on our website. It is unfortunate that the puppy that caught your eye was no longer available. I checked our website and see that the puppy "Tanner" is no longer available, so it is possilbe that the puppy had just sold and the breeder had not yet marked him sold. I did see that they have another puppy, "Hunter" available. It's too bad that the breeder did not inform you of any other options or pups that were available. Communication is very important and unfortunatley communication via text message can be taken in the wrong light. We hope that you were able to find a puppy that catches your eye, and if not, we wish you the best in your search for your new furry companion.

Bought a golden retriever pup from an Amish family in sugarcreek Ohio for $200 puppy was registered, medical paperwork reguarding deworming and vaccinations as well as being microchipped. Gave me a bag of dog food they feed to mix in so the pup would gradually get used to the food we buy.
We were able to meet parent, and the farm they were kept seemed to be kept well.

I bought the sweetest schnoodle from Buckeye Puppies. The following was my experience:

The puppy was given some sort of drug just before our meeting. They had to physically put him in my lap when we met and he was completely unresponsive, to food, to physical contact, even to sound - the entire 3+ hour drive home.

He would only go the restroom on concrete and didn't know what to do in real grass. (Though the woman said he'd just been outside with her while she was hanging laundry!?!

He didn't know how to drink from a bowl and had to be taught. (Like he'd only drunk from a water bottle.) He always sat with his back against the wall, even when he slept.

Lastly, He was supposedly up to date on all of his puppy inoculations when I got him, and had even been to the vet with me (with the list of shots, so they didn't inoculate him further, as he was "up to date) - he died of Parvo at the age of 6 months.

This place is a puppy mill and those puppies are being treated horribly. They should be shut down. Please do not support this business!

I recently purchased 2 Jack Russell Terriers using this website to contact the breeders. The puppies were located in North-Central Ohio in Amish Country. Both times my wife and I went to see the puppies, we were invited into the breeders' homes Amish/Mennonite families). We were able to play with the puppies for as long as we wanted. At both locations, the puppies were healthy, happy, lively and well socialized. They have a strict 8 week release policy. The veterinary records were available. We were able to see and pet the parents at both locations. Both farms and homes were very clean and well kept. We showed up at the first place an hour before the scheduled appointment so we could assess the living conditions. The puppies were in the house playing with their kids. Use this site to find your new companion, you won't be disappointed. I am an equine veterinarian and I have had Jack Russell Terriers for the past 25 years. I tried adding pictures but this website won't allow it.

Found a black lab puppy (Per breeder...We saw Mom but not Dad)available beginning of December and contacted the woman. She needed a PayPal deposit. I sent it. Said she never got it and gave the puppy away to someone else. Come to find out she gave me the wrong email for PayPal. Well, I received my deposit back but now had no dog. She let me know a black litter had recently been born and would be available at the end of December. Some of her dates didn't add up but I ignored it. We picked up our puppy December 27. He was little but had HUGE paws. We love big dogs! As he got older even the vet was surprised by some of his growth and how his fur and its coloring was coming in. We mentioned it would be fun to do a DNA test. Well, 3 weeks later, we find out our black lab puppy is 78% border collie and honestly the other 22% is a mystery but lab was not listed! Honestly, I think when she gave away the black lab puppy that I thought I put a deposit on she panicked or something and went to one of the other Amish breeders in town and retrieved whatever black puppy they had. I did let her know. She was apologetic and claimed to not know her lab was shacking up with the neighbor dog. I am going to do another dna test to hopefully see some lab or at least get more genetic info on boarder collies. Please get allllll information before buying. Ask for a DNA test before hand. Something. Maybe other breeders on this site do that already? We love our boy. He could be part goldfish for all I care. He's so goofy and lovable and gives the best kisses...he's just not a black lab

This website is strictly an advertising board for Amish Puppy Mills. Cheap, dirty and unhealthy puppies and they really don't seem to care. Steer clear.We got a female Golden Retriever that turned out to have a congenital heart murmer and conjunctivitis in both eyes. We got a "sorry" from them and a very expensive bill from our vet.

Anyone selling 50 breeds of dogs is not ethically responsible.
It's impossible to find that many ethical breeders turning out puppies left and right.
In other words, it a PUPPY MILL seller.

We got our Boo from an Amish breeder in Indiana. We didn't know this until after we arrived and we weren't going to leave without her. Motivated by fear from all the puppy mill stories, we went straight to our vet. We ran every test we could and had all her vaccines re-done incase her paperwork had been falsified in anyway. At home, we quarantined her from pets of friends and family.
It's been a year, never a problem, and she's still perfectly healthy. My heartbreaks for those who lived a nightmare.
We got lucky!? I don't know. But Boo has been a dream come true and we couldn't be happier. So happy in fact, tomorrow, we are going to get her a sister...(2nd pic)

My husband and I saw an ad for a lovely Yorkshire terrier puppy from a breeder in Madison, Indiana. They were selling at least 15-20 random Yorkshire terrier puppies and most looked nothing like a Yorkie. Red flag #1. We found a cute 8 week old pup and contacted the seller. She preferred we have her husband deliver the pup to our home. We weren't that far so we didn't mind. However, she demanded a $500 deposit and delivery fee. They never ended up delivering the dog. She then got in contact with me when the dog was 20 weeks old and said he would be there next week. Guess what? Next week came and no dog again. When I checked into her background it turns out she is an online dog scammer. Basically, she has no dogs and is not a breeder she just steals money from people and claims it's a "deposit". We contacted the website to please remove the seller and her post because it is just a scam but they did not. Please be wary of anybody on that website. Also, lancasterpuppies.com is their sister site. They have the same posts and the same scams.

I am trying to make everyone aware of a breeder in Fresno,Ohio. We bought a puppy from Norman Mast. Very questionable conditions. Showed us the mother and the father and the mother could not even walk. She was so neglected. Tried to text Norman Mast today to ask if our teddy bear dog was a gray blue merle. These are known for hearing and vision problems. From the parents, they told us was hers, there is no way we could have a blue merle, but I'm pretty certain she is. When asking him about this nicely, he blocked me from his cell phone number. The only way to contact him. Red flag everyone. Please do not support puppy mills. The Mast family is big into this. There is a Sam Mast who was on the puppy mill list. They are all related. We need to shut these places down one tragedy at a time. Very curious also about what happens to the poor mom and dad once their breeding years and money making days are over. Hope Buckeye Puppies does not delete this post. Super important.

Scam artist and cons are using this site. Also these large USDA puppy mills produce a lot of pups at our rageous prices. Beware of dapple/merle pups. As some of these uneducated mills breed dapple to dapple or merle to merle to get more merle/dapple pups in a litter. These pups then can have eye, ear and other health problems from this bad genetics. I bought pup that was Akc registered and when I got pedigree to see background of pup the pedigree was full of unregistered dogs which were transfered from a pet registry. Even Akc is accepting anything for registry. It's all about the coins the integrity and dignity of registration has been discarded for the almighty dollar. Like these large breeding facilities where parent of pups are treated like livestock. Then when they no longer can produce they end up at swap meets,rescues,humane societies or put down. Same with any pups that can't be sold. Find a repeatable honest breeder where quality is more of a concern than quantity.

So I was lucky enough to have the sweetest cutest and loving mini golden-doodle ever. But this site support puppy mills at its finest. I drove two hours from Toledo to apples Creek Ohio. She looked so small in her pictures but when I picked her up the Amish breeder was shock that I was black person then try to tell me how take care of my golden doodle but didn't tell me she didn't have any of her shots but lie on the ad saying Lindsay was up to date. Lindsay was only 3 months when I bought her home. She had ear infection bad sooo thanks to the breeder that try tell me how to take care of her hair instead of actually getting the dog shots and check up on her health DONT BUY FROM HERE PLEASE ITS ALL Amish PUPPY MILLS
