Lancaster Puppies

I can't even give them one star. I contacted them after I was defrauded by one of their listing Breeders, with specific information. The breeder represented on the site that the puppy was a Maltipoo---and it is actually a mix of five breeds. Lancaster said that, indeed, the puppy looked like a Shih Tzu (the actual dominant breed), and that they would "look into it". I have received no response from them and they continue to allow this Breeder to list similar puppies on the site. The Breeder's name is Bunny Hutchinson of Eden, New York. Avoid her at all costs.

I went on Lancaster puppy after reading that they make sure the pups are healthy and happy only to encounter a puppy mill that had nearly 200 dogs. The dogs live in kennels with constant noise, they have minimum human contact and many are stir crazy for to not getting out of the kennels to the pound they look like they may injure themselves. I reported this breeder to Lancaster puppies and they said they saw no red flags even though I gave proof of the number of dogs. The care standards through USDA are minimal and according to Lancaster puppies that is good enough, but these most definitely were not happy and healthy dogs!

I was EXTREMELY skeptical of Lancaster puppies website. I am from the area so I know about the puppy mill problem in Lancaster. I HEAVILY researched the people who were selling my pup. Our experience honestly blew my mind. Mom and dad were in perfect condition and so so sweet and social (puppy mill dogs will not be this way). We stayed for over 20 minutes just talking with Rachel Kauffman, the owner of the pups. We've only had ours for 3 weeks, so I can't say that things will be 100% in the future, but so far so good. If you are buying from this site research the seller, ask tons of questions. Health records, vet records, who is the vet, can you meet mom and dad, can you see where the pups are kept etc etc.

I have tried several times to buy from Lancaster but the phone #s for sellers are always bad or go to a voicemail with a different name than the lister seller. They have a contact form but then ask me to provide the sellers email ( which is not listed). The actual # to Lancaster Puppies goes to "a voicemail that has not been set up" it just makes me wonder if this place is legit when I can never seem to get a person? How does one go about purchasing from them?

My wife & I got a 11 week Husky Pup from Ruth in Ohio, and he was delivered to us 5 days ago. However, we've found some temperamental issues with him, he isn't fully vaccinated like she said he would be and not even microchipped. We would like to return him and even agreed for a no-refund because we want him to go to his original home/environment, but the breeder isn't responding to our calls.

I purchased a GSD from this site. The "breeder" was nice over the phone and made the pup sound like he was ready to go. When the pup was shipped to me he was much older than originally stated, malnourished, and absolutely terrified of everything. The "vet records" that came with the pup showed he actually didn't receive any of his shots like she said he did. The "vet" also cleared him in good health. I took my GSD to my vet and found out he has bad hips, a skin disease, and was 10lbs under weight. Barbara should be arrested for the state my GSD came in. A few months later we are still working on his skin disease. He unfortunately cannot be a working dog like he was purchased for due to his many ailments. Though I don't care about appearances, for a GSD his ears do not stand and his fur is very patchy. I love him to death, but I can't imagine what the other pups on this site have or are subjected to.

Most of these breeders are Amish and Menonite puppy mills. I actually bought a puppy for half of the original listing price, because I thought no one else would. Puppy was covered in flea / mite scabs. Was bald in several spots from excessive itching. Also, the puppy at 3 months was on adult dog food instead of being weaned to a puppy chow.

I advertise on Lancaster Puppies and they arent always fair. Actually they are pretty rude. They dont treat all breeders the same. They are definitely on the side of Amish breeders and not the *other breeders. They charge $17 per puppy and most times you have to pay twice. Their site is outdated, a lil slow and the worse is if one does anything wrong at all. As in, even on accident like break a posting rule, they will delete your ads and no refund. They dont care. To say the least the Amish men that run the site are pretty rude sounding and if you aint Amish, they even ruder. Thing is they make money on us breeders. Lots, they clearing at least $250,000 a year for sure. For sure. Customers are no better. Aggressive is a good word for people searching for puppies. Dont expect to be treated with respect or kindness. Dog breeders are treated like crap in general. But hold up... They all wanna buy a puppy tho. The irony.
I keep track of the folks that treat me poorly. I keep a list and give it to other breders.

Wonderful puppy kinda skidish. Puppy smelled bad and needed bathed besides that she's great would consider.

I purchased a 3 month old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier from an Amish farm in Lititiz, PA. The family came out and greeted us. It was obvious from the start that this puppy received tons of love by the owners and children. The mother was there and her pups roamed freely about. I was given the AKC certificate, vet paperwork, vaccination bottles for my vet, and a bag of food to slowly get her used to her new diet in her new home. She's well mannered and behaving fine. She's been easy to train and has been happy n healthy from the start. I did not even know about PA Amish puppy mills until after I bought her. I do not believe she came from one. She's gentle, loving and super sweet. She's adjusted well at the grooming salon and making friends at doggy daycare. I'm in love because she's perfect. I'd buy from there again!

We drive about 2.5 hours to Lancaster and came back with a lovely toy poodle she brings so much joy to our family. We had been in the lookout for a small puppy for quit a while. We were given medical records and were able to meet our puppy's momma she look very healthy and playful. Thanks king family

We drove from NY to PA for my Golden. The Kings property was spotless and the puppy was well socialized. They walked me through the whole adoption and I was able to see Mom, Dad and siblings. I would highly recommend them. Upon arrival home I went to my vet the puppy was in good health. I would be careful about some of the reviews on this page, the wording is almost identical in several instances. There are die hard people against buying a puppy, but I also have rescued goldens, this time I decided to get a puppy. My advice is do the research and ask questions. I will definitely go back if I decide to get another puppy.

Our little Toy Fox Terrier puppy is healthy, happy, and an absolute delight. The cost was reasonable (less than Craigslist!) and even the shipping was convenient and reasonably priced. If we ever need another puppy, we'll be back. I even got a follow-up call to make sure everything worked out.
I'm a senior, and retired. Agnes is our little sweetie-pie.

We bought our "Maria" from a nice Amish family in Spring Mills, PA. I saw parents and property and both looked nice. We've had our "Raven" now for almost 3 mos and she has been nothing but a pure joy to add to our home! She's so intelligent, inquisitive, healthy, funny, and sweet! I'm so glad we made our trip from WNY to get our newest "baby"! She is majestic (and a night owl)!

Been on there off and on for 4-5 years. No problems. Its a classified site. With thousands of breeders from 10-15 diff states. They dont sell dogs themselves. They charge a lil less than anyone else. Buyers are a rough bunch now-a-days. Weed thru interested parties carefully. They are not always good people and they are often ill mannered. Meeting adopties is a good idea for sure. Dont adopt to ignorant people and dont adopt to aggressive pushy
In-a-hurry people. Take your time. Feel people out. Pick the best. It works two ways. Join breeder groups. Share info and experiences. Our family appreciates Lancaster site. Good experience.

We found our perfect little guy, Bandit, on Lancaster Puppies. We drove from North Carolina to Ohio for pick up. The Yoders welcomed us into their home and when they brought Bandit to meet us he was well socialized with the family, including two small children. All shots and deworming had been done and properly recorded. Bandit was micro chipped and very healthy. The Yoders provided food as well as a blanket with his MoMA's scent. Wonderful experience. Bandit is a year old now.
