I found my golden retriever Max through this website. The breeder I got Max from was very professional and explained everything to me in detail. Max is a healthy dog who has an abundance of energy. Thank you again!

SCAM!
June 27, 2022

Royal city paws mini dachshunds.
First class dachshunds home.
Both sites are scams! Beware! I've paid for a puppy and shipping.
Of course, there was an issue with the shipping crate and they want more money…
Buyer beware!

This site has many scams on it
Breeders use multiple city locations to pull you in.
If you sent them money for a puppy they then try to scam you for flight insurance. An additional 750 for 2 puppies
They got me for the puppies before I woke up

Spellbound Poms
April 5, 2022

I had a horrible experience and hope nobody else has to go through something like this. Jessica promised me pick of the litter out of either of her February litters and when it came time to pick my puppy all were spoken for, when I asked her about it she stated she would refund my deposit. She later offered me the only lavender female which I was more than excited to get. Now I am told she has health concerns. She held my deposit for almost 4 months and in the end I am not getting a puppy. I totally understand things happen and circumstances change, but there were four puppies in these litters that fit my requirements and yet I wasn't given the opportunity to pick one out. I have all of our texts and am happy to share my experience to help anyone else from going through this If she had been honest with me upfront, I would have just taken my money elsewhere and found my puppy with another breeder.

I was looking to buy a puppy from one of the breeders you had on your site, after contacting them and emails and texts sent back and forth I picked a puppy and paid for it only to find out it is a scam. The phone that they have been using is a non fixed voip phone with a u.s. number but they are in another country. If you have a website that is suppose to help people you should be more careful of the breeders you allow to be on it.

This person supposedly from Tampa, fl. Is a scammer. I put 125.00 deposit and she blocked me or changed her name after she received my deposit. She was selling lhasa apso's plus $#*!zu's. Now after reading about how scammers work she fit it to a tee. Guess I'm the dumb one.

Good concept, but the site owners do a poor job of keeping the site up-to-date. Seems like they're mainly interested in junk advertising, rather than curating and maintaining a list of legitimate puppy breeders. Many of the breeders' listings are at least 3-4 years old, and do not have information about current availabilities. A breeder whose listing lies dormant for more than a year should either be deleted, or labelled 'Inactive'. Otherwise, it becomes a colossal waste of time. Also, breeders who post should be required to list pricing information.

Id love to see a BETTER boxer photo on the boxer page. The one that represents the boxers is a horrible example of our breed.

I OFTEN have problems loading photos to the site.
I have used this site off and on through the years & It would be fantastic to see those two things corrected. Thanks.

As a breeder This has been my web site for the past 25 years. I'm extremely thankful for their Service! I've met and adopted out many a puppy over these years... most overall people are very nice and I know that they go to very good homes. In business you will always have miserable unhappy people! They are few but the unhappies are the ones that mostly give the reviews! I've had some miserables, I've made mistakes, I've had a few refunds, and occasionally but rarely genetic problems. There's No Such Thing Friends as a Perfect Record in business. Overall my experience with refunds and a genetic issue has been always amicable. You'll have People you can't ever please, people you can please most of the time some of the time but you will Never Please all the People all the Time! Fact

Thank you Breeder.net For your on going service and Options!

Scam
July 29, 2017

I have put my sire up for over a year and have gotten nothing and the lady keeps calling and says that I'm getting over a hundred hits a month and that she's been doing this for over 15yrs. I think they just want money and is really doing nothing to help.

SCAM! BEWARE!
March 12, 2015

THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE SCAM! They got my credit card # (I don't know how because I have never even heard of this website, so it was stolen by them somehow) and charged on it multiple times the same day until my bank account was depleted! Notice... There is not contact information. Except for a contact box. No physical location or phone number listed on the site. Beware! SCAM SCAM SCAM!

Breeders.net is NOT a scam, but has unfortunately been attacked recently by some talented fraudsters. We now have a handle on their methods and have been successful in blocking them. (They buy stolen credit card info and were using them to create phony listings on breeders.net, and then use the phony listings to scam the public). We have learned how to recognize them and are able to delete their listings right away. We suggest that people who are looking for a puppy take a look at http://www.breeders.net/checklist.php first. Above all, do not send any money for a puppy if you have not been welcomed to come see the puppy and the breeder's facility first.

We have placed puppies in great homes through this website for about 8 years. As long as breeders here keep their sites up to date it works great. Most breeders are legal, legitimate, licensed families who are working to better the breeds they produce. Working closely with their vet and registry clubs, the responsible breeder produces a socialized, outgoing, happy puppy that can not be found at a shelter!

I am a small, hobby breeder AND I am active in dog rescue. Many of my pets came from the animal shelter or humane society. That doesn't mean that all breeders are bad, as some reviewers on this site would have you believe. This site helps connect people who are looking for a specific breed (because let's face it, sometimes you want a particular dog that you will NEVER see at the shelter). There are all types represented here from excellent bloodlines to dogs that should never have been allowed to reproduce, but it does give people an option for tracking down the dog "of their dreams!"

Was looking for a small breeder who really cared for their animals. Thought I found the right one by using this website. I contacted John Morris in
Palm Springs and bought a 9 week old puppy from him. He seemed like a wonderful caring person. Found out different once I got my new pup home. The poor puppy was INFESTED with ticks! Had to rush her to the vet for treatment and also had to treat my dog I already had and my home. He would not accept responsibility for his animal cruelty. Again, I found this breeder on breeder.net. Shame on them.

Seriously, selling animals is shameful. Anyone looking for a new pet always should just check their local humane society - http://www.hsus.org.
Animals are not products! I'd like to dig a hole and bury this site six feet under.

Just wrong
July 13, 2017

We went to look at/pick up a Yorkie today. When we there we decided to get two sisters. She quoted us a price for the two. Told us where an ATM WAS TO GET THE ADDITIONAL MONEY then changed her mind. We left with nothing. Her house was stinky and dirty and so were the pups. Ann's Yorkie's in Columbus, OH

I used my zipcode to find "local" breeders so I could go visit them to meet our new bany. However I was contacted by someone in Texas although they have a. co.uk (United Kingdom) email address offering an offer to good to be true. Responded to me twice with the EXACT same email greeting me correctly and someone else entirely. Seems pretty fishy to me-beware! Also no contact info what ao ever for the site?!
