Very impressed
March 12, 2021

I did a lot of research on the particular breed I wanted for many months. I thought it would be safer to buy from a reputable breeder but I had reservations about that as well. Up my 10 to 20 visit to the Lancaster puppies website I saw many adorable puppies for sale and offered a lot cheaper than the breeders I made inquiries to. Still not having made a decision as I browsed my preferred breed in Lancaster puppies again I saw what would eventually become my dog. I did my research on Lancaster puppies again and even found some reviews from previous customers on YouTube. I decided to go through with a purchase for my olde English bulldogge puppy and was able to make a secured payment directly to the breeder via consumer safety directly to breeder on the Lancaster puppy website I arranged for shipping and had my puppy with 48 hours, he has been given a 100% clean bill of health and is absolutely amazing. Do your research on the breeder you chose and always if doing a long distance transaction use a breeder that accepts pay pal of the consumer safety group they protect both seller and consumer. But yes Lancaster puppies is legit

I was looking for a French Bulldog and wanted to be able to pick a puppy up via a drive. I found Eli Petersheim and inquired about one of his puppies before I was 100% ready to commit. He followed back up with me specifically saying he liked that I described myself as someone who lives alone and works from home so I'd have all of the time to adore the dog but that he had other interested parties. I committed and sent a $500 deposit. Eli sent picture updates before my pick up date and was very forthcoming about the process. Her vet appointment a couple days before I was going to get her revealed a bilateral inguinal hernia. He was extremely honest and offered me a discount as she would need surgery. He gave me the vet information so I could ask all of the medical questions. Once I felt convinced that this was a resolvable issue (I already loved this baby) I drove down to get her. Eli and his children came out and I could see my girl's siblings playing together in a cozy little pen. His children said they wanted me to send pictures because they loved this puppy so much. It was clear she was cuddled and loved and socialized. Today, she's almost 2, got through her hernia surgery beautifully, and remains the most lovable, social dog I could have dreamed. So glad I went with this breeder. I followed through and sent picture updates of her as she grew and he remained responsive and happy to know she was thriving. My little girl is the best pup.

BUYERS BEWARE!

Information is inaccurate. Loads of unhealthy puppies on this website. This website does not vet their breeders. Just do a little more research on them and youll see what im talking about.

TERRIBLE!
September 28, 2021

I purchased a maltipoo puppy from a breeder allegedly from Jamestown, NY for $2268 cash. This woman goes by the name Beverly Holiday (false name). She wanted to meet halfway In Horseheads. A large van (with Pennsylvania license plates) pulled up with the puppy. Long story short the puppy had a liver shunt and we couldn't keep her alive (she died within 30 days). Beverly refused to honor her one year health guarantee, instead blaming my vet and me for the puppy's death. Despite me spending $2000 trying to save the puppy (she was too sick to be saved). This woman could care less and has sent me the most awful accusatory emails. I have now hired an attorney to assist me with a refund. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS WOMAN. The email she uses now is *******@gmail.com.

Filthy pups look at pics
January 22, 2023

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.

Lancaster Puppies is a horrific puppy mill. Do not believe the pictures - this is one of PA's worst puppy mills. This a Puppy Mill - it is NOT an Adoption Center. DO NOT BUY, rescue from a REAL shelter.

Stay AwY
May 2, 2022

The puppy advertised in the picture is not the one we purchased (ours is much more cute) although the "middle women" said he was. The breeder is not the one selling the puppies the "middle lady" housed many pups in her barn (which we were not permitted to see b/c she "had not cleaned it") knew nothing about the background of the puppy or the mother. This was our first time buying so we thought it was standard as she said she was just selling/showing them them bc the breeder had no room to keep them. We asked the name of the breeder and was only given a first name, she "couldn't remember" his last name. (Through research we found out) We were given no medical info except a basic vet info. We should have walked away, but the pup was so sweet and adorable, we fell in love. He is still precious and loving and life w/o him would not be the same without him.

Since we brought him home, we've spent over $4000 so far for care and a surgery is inevitable. A mediocre vet would have found the congenital disorder but there was no mention of an issue.

We drove 7 hours to an Amish area of Ohio in the middle of nowhere to get him. We were hesitant but paid, in cash (which the "middle lady" was glad to grab) for him. We'd spend a million dollars to keep our baby healthy but would NEVER use Lancaster Puppies again. I wish we'd conducted more research.

If this sounds like your situation, RUN. Don't look at the puppy, don't talk to anyone, don't even stop your car. It was a complete business transaction and not an act of love.

I wanted to share my experience hopefully to save the next buyer some time when purchasing from the best of Kentucky puppies from "Amanda". The paper work says Christine Schwartz as the breeder. The dog I purchased when I discussed with Amanda, they advised he could be bred and that he had no genetic health issues. When I picked him up, it was raining outside she rushed by the fact that he has one testicle dropped. Was diagnosed when he was 2 months. (She never mentioned this) until after I drove 4 hours to pick him up and she breezed by this fact twice. The health guarantee/ buyers sellers contract with them essentially makes the buyer assume all cost for what could be a very sick dog- please read carefully the agreement and honestly please just don't purchase from them. They were anxious to get me to purchase him which was a red flag. They advertised parents with different names that aren't even his parents names. Learn from my mistake- don't be swindled this is an Amish puppy mill being "brokeraged" by locals. They didn't advise me of anything including what food he was eating. The person I met with sent me a very unapologetic, rude message about this expensive sick dog they sold me, they have no integrity and their adds are false advertisement.

PUPPY MILL

If you have an ounce of morals and do any research you will know this is a puppy mill. You are just as bad as them if you knowingly buy from them as well.

ONLINE PUPPY MILL
October 20, 2022

A lady sells fake AKC puppies with health problems out of FT MEYERS and has changed her phone number, She operated under a fake cash app name to get paid and then closed her account. I received the puppy that has liver issues and I have never received the AKC paperwork. I have reached out to her and she offered me a "credit" on her next litter. I informed her that it was genetic and that would be foolish on my end. She asked for vet documents and I have provided all of them to her. She claims the dog's parents were cleared of genetic defects... that's a lie the puppy carries 2 genetic defects. She seems to be a puppy mill cuz now she has several breeds of puppies which is weird.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SAM *******451 OR ANYTHING FROM THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE READ ONLINE REVIEWS TO SAVE YOU FROM WHAT WE WENT THROUGH. SHAM SCAM SCAM AND ONLINE PUPPY MILL
DO YOUR RESEARCH THIS IS BASICALLY AN ONLINE PUPPY MILL THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU AT ALL AND WILL ONLY BACK THE SELLERS.

Sold a Fake Yorkipoo
March 12, 2021

Breeder's Name: Leroy Petersheim. They are located in PA. He also advertises on Buckeye Puppies.
If I could give then negative stars I would. The wife was very nice and insisted on cash. I needed a poodle mix because of my allergies. After enduring excessive shedding, I ordered a Dog DNA test. Turns out yes indeed he is Yorkshire Terrier but has 0% poodle. He is instead mixed with Australian Shepherd and Corgi. This makes a huge difference. After spending money to have him neutered, shots, and pet training I cannot keep him because my allergies are completely out of control. I am crying as I write this review because I love this dog so much and I have to rehome him due to my severe allergies. When I called him he insisted that the dog was a Yorkipoo and that DNA tests are not valid. Really? Also why would he shed? They said return him for a refund. Why would I return this cute innocent dog to people who treat him like a commodity. They'd either put him down or resell him again as a Yorkipoo. I'd rather have him go to a good home. So buyer beware! These people will lie to your face and take your money with no qualms whatsoever.

We located several dog breeders on Lancaster puppies, which is a classified website for dog breeders. They are not dog breeders themselves. It's a classified site same as your local newspaper has a classified section. Since it's my responsibility to communicate with dog breeders, search for my puppy, do my due diligence and research, that's exactly what I did. We made appointments to view a few different puppies and we did finally settle on a goldendoodle from a very nice Farm in Pennsylvania. They had approximately 14... 15 dogs total, they did goldendoodles and labradoodles. It was a nice organized inspected kennel. We picked out our puppy and he has turned out great... perfectly healthy and now we're on our way to pick up our second puppy a year later, from a different breeder. Since the first one didn't have any available till summer. No issues no problems and you just have to do the leg work yourself. It should be apparent to anybody that you have to look over your dog and your paperwork before you purchase. That's common sense. We are happy. I would adopt a third dog from this classified site but I don't need three dogs. Two is plenty. Lol. Happy puppy hunting. Stay positive.

While I understand that there are puppy mills in Ohio, and that lancasterpuppies.com probably does represent some, we had a very good experience in May of 2022. We contacted a representative (Anita) about a couple of portipoo's in Fredericksburg, OH, and the communication and service we received couldn't have been better. They were forthcoming with all veterinary records, took the pups to a specialist for a check at my request, and I was able to speak with several veterinarians in the area, including the one that did the first puppy check of record, to verify not only the puppies health but that the breeder is reputable. The breeder was not high volume, but was licensed, and we were interested in these particular pups because of the parent's sizes. The rep even sent us pics of the breeders kennel area to ease my mind on where they were brought up, and it was spacious and clean. We used a very reasonably priced transport company that the representative trusted and recommended (Furry Trails), and the pups were delivered to us in CO in extremely good health, and had obviously been well cared for.
They have been thriving in our home for the last month, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of pups and seller. We didn't even have to pay in full until the puppies were delivered. I of course recommend you do your due-diligence as we did before deciding, to make sure the breeder is doing a good job, but I would definitely recommend this site based on our own excellent experience.
