I've been advertising on Lancaster puppies for about 8-9 yrs here & there, my sister too, she breeds Westies. I do Toy Poodles & Yorkies. I'm licensed & I only have nine dogs total so you can see... not everyone is a puppy mill. I've never had a problem with Lancaster, their prices have went up over the years, their site is a little outdated but I have no complaints. My only advice to them is their money comes from us dog breeders and they should probably keep that in mind. Half these reviews are bogus. This next advice is for dog breeders in reference to puppy buyers. Be careful & be weary. Be careful who you invite to your home, definitely screen them first. Avoid anybody that is overly concerned about weight. Toy breeds are supposed to be between 3-4 lbs up to 12 -14 lb. Which is a really small ratio of weight difference compared to other classes of dog breed weights. If you get a ridiculous person that is dead set on weight they're probably not going to be a good pick. There is ridiculous people out there that are constantly trying to buy three four & five pound dogs but it doesn't always work out to be that way. Next... if someone can't use the words please or thank you avoid them at all costs. They will not appreciate the work that you have done. If they seem demanding pushy, in a hurry or have 10 really off the wall questions that don't even make sense, avoid them. There are definitely "Karens" out there shopping for a puppy. Adopting a tiny dog... always be weary of how many young children are in the home & ask lots of questions like do they rent or own, whats their yard situation, work schedule & so on. I avoid having any pups at Christmas time because Christmas shoppers are the absolute worst. They're impatient, snarky rude & pushy. Remember the work that you do is a lot of work... it's 7 days a week. For one litter of pups I can have 75 phone calls, 300 emails & 100 texters. Its alot of work. Choose families that are kind to you & that will show face of how they may treat their dog. Kindness pays. There's way too many people to choose from so be picky! Bless our lil babies
