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.
Thank you, Nikki, for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your experience with Lancaster Puppies and the sellers on our website. Have fun with your new furry friend!
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.
Thank you, Lewis, for your review. We're glad you have good experiences selling on our website. Thanks for spreading the good word!
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.
It's good to see Bandit found a good home!
Absolutely Very kind family to purchase a dog from. We have purchased two Labrador Retrievers now and honestly look nowhere else. Looking for a wonderful addition and this breed, I highly reccomend the Horst family.
Thank you, Tosha, for your review. We're happy you had a great time purchasing a puppy through one of the sellers on our website. Enjoy your new puppy!
We have had Ruger for over a year now, could not ask for a healthier pup. We drove from Ny to Ohio to get her, I know all about the puppy mills as well. Do your research, ask questions, meet the puppies parents, and like I said ask Questions. We went to the house, meet the pup and its mother, both in great condition, and kept in a clean room as well.
Good to see Ruger is doing well!
Like everyone else who purchased a puppy from Landcaster, I was nervous, and reading the reviews did not help. My puppy arrived around 10 weeks old well-behaved and in great shape. I have not had to train him at all to listen. He is a healthy Shepsky, well trained, and very sweet.
Thank you, Monique, for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your experience with Lancaster Puppies and the sellers on our website. Have fun with your new furry friend!
Landcaster appears to be a listing service for multiple breeders. Sunny Bank Farm, Eli Glick was as careful with us as we of him. Eli wanted to be sure we could take this on. Met friendly Mom, 4 healthy and happy pups and had time to meet them all. Our pup Holly was everything we hoped for, and is shockingly smart. We couldn't be happier.
Thank you, Brady, for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your experience with Lancaster Puppies and the sellers on our website. Have fun with your new furry friend!
This is a site that lists dogs for breeders or for someone trying to sell their puppy. I am extremely happy with my puppy that I bought from this site. Seller was honest and everything was perfect... The site can not help if someone lists a puppy and it's a scam... I will recommend Lancaster pets to everyone... THANK YOU for having a website so I could find puppy.
Thank you, Leigh, for your review. We're happy you had a great time purchasing a puppy through one of the sellers on our website. Enjoy your new puppy!
I live in Michigan and drove all the way to Pennsylvania to purchase a puppy from Samuel and Anna Yoder in McClure Pennsylvania my puppy is so cute and healthy and energetic and just left the vets and checks out perfectly fine there are a lot of horror stories on the internet about going to pick up a puppy but it was an excellent experience and the cost was affordable I want to thank Samuel and Anna for such a wonderful dog she's fat and healthy and playful and loving I have only had her home four days and I don't regret buying this dog at all yes the website is legit I guess there are probably bad puppy mills and breeders everywhere you just have to find a good one and that I did I'm so pleased with my puppy her name is Hannah
I got my pup from an Amish family not a puppy mill advertised in Lancaster puppies. This is my second Chihuahua puppy I received from two different families and neither one of them were a puppy mill. Nobody ever scammed you out of your money and my last puppy I got to go up and look at all eight of the puppies and pick out the one I actually wanted. The mommy and daddy right there on the premises. Both of my puppies have been healthy, beautiful, and loving pups. I highly recommend Lancaster puppies.
Thank you, Jill, for your review. We're happy you had a great time purchasing a puppy through one of the sellers on our website. Enjoy your new puppy!
We adopted our German Shepherd Justin (Bo) from an Amish farm in central Pennsylvania and we couldn't have asked for a better dog. The family running the farm was very friendly, took good care of the dogs. The puppy was ultra friendly, potty trained himself for the most part, and gets along great with our current dog. The price for the puppy was decent and we were presented the papers during the pick up. We are highly satisfied with Lancaster Puppies, and the Amish family we adopted from!
Congratulations on your new furry friend!
I spent months trying to get our first family dog that fit our needs from shelters and rescues with no luck or call backs. So after being priced out of the breeder option and not finding anyone with available puppies we looked at other options. Ideally I wanted a mix to reduce health concerns. I was nervous using lancaster puppies as there was minimal information about the seller and even the pets. After a few weeks of seeing adorable pups I gave in and took a chance and a 4hr drive to pick up our new pup! She is a pugalier and we got to see her parents on site. It was a mennonite family who bred her. They were great only complaint is we paid cash and I do wish other payment options were available for deposit or payments. We have had her for over a month so far perfect health checks and great new family member.
Thank you, Eryn, for your review. We're happy you had a great time purchasing a puppy through one of the sellers on our website. Enjoy your new puppy!
We bought a puppy from here and he's been just fine. People don't seem to realize Lancaster is not a company of puppies. It's like Craigslist for breeders. It's very important that you vet and investigate yourselves. Have the self awareness it requires to notice you're being scammed. Craigslist is constantly in trouble for trafficking, scamming, luring, and fake outs. That's how third party sites are.
Thank you, Kenzie, for your review. We're happy you had a great time purchasing a puppy through one of the sellers on our website. Enjoy your new puppy!
We decided to breed our dog for our boys to have the experience of having puppies. It was a one-time thing; we don't plan to do it again. We listed them for sale on Lancaster Puppies. I did not receive any calls, texts, or emails from any prospective buyers. There weren't even any page views for 9 of the 10 listings on their seller view. We ended up finding new homes for our puppies by local flyers and a sign in our yard. I contacted the admin to ask what went wrong and if we could have a refund for the failed marketing. They claimed that their view counter was broken by google updates which is why it appeared that no one saw our ads. They denied any refund and indicated that there were two reasons we didn't have any sales from their service. 1) Our prices were too high (yet we sold them locally). 2) Puppies aren't selling well right now (again, we sold them locally). Now that I've read some reviews, I see they have a very bad reputation as a puppy mill host. I should have read reviews before I spent $190 listing all 10 of them. To prospective sellers, you're probably better off not using this service. I suspect there are some people like me marketing a litter from a family dog on the platform, but according to reviews, you will be competing against sellers with questionable ethics.
Hello Delton. We are sorry to hear of your negative experience advertising with us. There are many factors that could have caused your puppies not to sell. We have many breeders that have advertised with us for over a decade and have possitive results. We in no way support or "host" puppy mills or unethical breeding practices.
I just recently purchased a playful loving little Cakapoo from breeder Martha Wenger in Ephrata PA who was very gracious to me and my family at the time of my pick up. Molly is the most friendlies pup ever. She's very healthy according to her veterinarian in New York our place of residence. Molly has been complimented so many times on her playful, friendly and of course the cutest puppy anyone has ever seen. So cute that lots of people have requested the name and number of the breeder Mrs. Martha Wenger. Thank you Mrs Wenger for breeding a well bred pup who has made myself and my family very grateful for having Mollyin our lives.
Thank you, Laverne, for your review. We're glad you had a good experience working through our website to purchase a puppy. Enjoy your new family member!
I drove from New Jersey to redensberg, PA after her breeder did not hesitate for me to come meet her and get her. The moment I saw her I fell in love! These people In NJ are getting dogs from here and reselling it for 5k ripping people off. My baby girl is the best Labrador companion I got! She even came with a start of dewormer shots and distemper shot. Awesome experience!

Made arrangements to drive out to a puppy farm that breeds labs and Golden's and a few others. The Rabers farm in Lancaster PA area. It was a 3 hour drive one way with kids and wife. They said they would hold the dog but when I got there, they said someone just took the dog. I paid a $200 deposit through an online app, zelle and they returned it to me by writing a check. Which was honest enough... But I ended up putting 7 hours on the road for no reason. Spent $80 in gas $60 on food. Had crying kids. Not nice!

I bought a pup from Precious pups USA in Bedford Ohio. Upon receipt of my pup who had to be shipped to me, I took him to the vet where I found out he is very sick. He not only had bordetella, but also an ear infection and giardia. Considering he has never been around any other dogs or outside since I purchase him there is no way he could have gotten these after coming to me. Lancaster puppies was a recommended site but this breader is not. Contacted the breader who was uncompromising and did not take responsibility for selling me a sick pup. The vet records were also forged.
