Took deposit nd would not show current pics of dog. Made up many reasons to break appts. No such person Susan Arslan in NJ at all! Scammer. Mother is a pedigree but in the baby shot you see the legs of matted fur and pee covered mama.

Scam breeders the Amish are likely selling inbred puppies at a discounted rate. Websites like this and Greenfield puppies advertise puppies being mass produced at off grid Amish puppy mills and steel your money. No way! Walk away and grab an ethical breeder.

Our family had a great experience with this website. We were absolutely impressed with the quality of care Kristina at Aussie Boutique (in Atlanta) provides for her puppies and adult dogs. We recently purchased an exceptionally well-bred and healthy Australian Shepherd puppy from her using this website and couldn't be happier. She was extremely sweet and knowledgeable, and we unreservedly recommend her and Lancaster puppies website as a great source for a new puppy or adult dog.

What a terrible experience I had with this website. My first time purchasing my first puppy which was a Cavapoo. She was delivered to me 3/8/24. Make a long story short I only had her for a week & now today was the day that she's gone which is a sad situation because i was getting to know her and we had a bond. I believe she was already ill and I wasn't aware by the breeder when i purchase her or even when she was delivered to me. So please I wouldn't recommend no one to purchase their puppy from this website. I called the breeder today like twice no answer. FYI, a lady told me today the same thing happened to her and that this company aren't good at all. A lesson to be learned. R.I.P to my cinnamon. I was hoping for us to start a long journey.

I have a litter of popular puppies and I have paid for them 2 times. They don't sell.
This time I paid the $25 premium ad for each puppy. I checked their site yesterday and today also, my puppies are posted dead last. I've now spent $250 total.
What's premium for? Rip off. Just another way for them to get more money I guess. My friend has 3 puppies posted on there, and she's had to pay for hers twice so far also and no sales.
She's been advertising with them for 10 years and myself about six or seven but it's time to quit. I thought their old site was outdated but this one's just terrible. They should go back to where people whom renew their ads and keep them updated are at the top of the list.
I seen someone else posted a review and they did an update. I decided to do one myself. Good idea.
Updated December 6th 2023
My puppies are still dead last and never move from being last. Even when new people post new puppies, I'm still last. Out of 300 puppies I counted 30 ads, where they have one or two pictures only and their puppies are before mine. So I'm DONE! NOT USING LANCASTER ANYMORE! NOT UNLESS THE ADS ARE SHUFFLED OR SOME SORT OF PLAN IS CREATED THATS ACTUALLY FAIR

We were looking everywhere for our new puppy and found him on lancasterpuppies.com. The breeder was super helpful and cared deeply about our puppy's journey home. Would purchase another puppy from that breeder!

I just had to have my 11 month old puppy have hip surgery and get fixed. The dna showed he was over breed. He also has hip dysplasia. Junior Yoder did not disclose this hereditary condition. Though I did not speak to him I spoke to a family member who didn't care abt this I would never buy a pup from him or his family.

Our pup was supposed to have a 1 year health coverage. A lie. And it did come from a mill. Michael Kurtz is who we bought from. Avoid!

I bought my first puppy a little over a year ago from a very nice lady in the southern part of PA. Lydia is her name. She helped me find transport for the puppy. I have no idea how I would have gotten her home without the breeders help. The puppy was beautiful and clean and health and happy when she arrived to me from approximately 400 miles away. This puppy has been my Joy ever since she arrived. No joy is not her name. I love her so much and I'm so happy she came to me. I am happy with my experience on Lancaster Puppies and am looking there for my second puppy.

After searching for months for a Corgi it occurred to me to check other states. We drove from north GA to Pembroke KY for the best puppy ever. After speaking on the phone I gave a $100 deposit and arranged to meet the following Saturday. Chris Hoover raises well bread Corgis, at least according to our vet! Our puppy was in perfect health and picture perfect!

I had always wanted a puppy. So my parents surprised me with a puppy. A couple of days after she started to act funny. So we took her to the Vet to find out she had the parvo virus. My mom called the woman to tell her to get a refund and she wanted us to put the puppy to sleep. But the way she said it made us break down. But we still ended up getting a refund. And my dog fought through it and we made the best of it!

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.

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)!

Tip for consumers:
Do your research. I would check with local animal shelters first, obviously. But, I made the right decision by going online myself and finding the puppy I wanted. I would recommend my breeder to anybody looking for an AWESOME puppy!!

I tried to advertise on this site & they turned me down lol... Laughing. I'm small breeder. 8 dogs total. In my home. For anyone shopping on this site, it's not a puppy mill. It's a classified online site. Anyone can advertise on their site if you're approved. If you're not Amish they'll ask you for identification but if you're Amish they don't ask you for any identification LOL. There are some really nice breeders on this site you can tell by their clean pups & they're very nice pics. I want to point out the filthy on this site, this is one example, but there's many. This person is allowed to advertise & look how filthy dirty their pups are. I'm a dog breeder. A dog doesn't get this filthy unless it lives in filth. I'm a dog breeder, a dog doesn't get all these hair stains unless it lives in filth. I'm not allowed to advertise on this site but this guy is gross. Let's just say the pups hadn't had a bath for 3 weeks or something, let's just say that, but but...but they didn't give their dog a bath on picture day? There are clearly some puppy mills on this site. If pups pictures are taken outside they are definitely amish. If they're not available on sundays. Definitely Amish. Look for hair stains, definitely.

Hi Robin, Thank you for sharing your perspective. We have an approval process to advertise with us since we are always working to keep scammers off of our site. It is not uncommon for us to as for identification for breeders looking to advertise with us, and yes, we also ask Amish for ID as well. If you find puppies on our site that are not properly taken care of, please report the ad, or contact us at contact@lancaterpuppies.com.

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.

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?

I want to purchase a Beabull. These reviews are conflicting. Puppy Mills!? I am now afraid to purchase from these breeders. So disheartening. Can ANYONE be honest and tell me who is a reputable Beabull breeder to purchase from!? I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Thank you for reading.
