I got my puppy from the Lancaster puppies in PA on December 2023. This Friday, January 2025, I had to make the difficult decision to put my 3 years old baby to sleep. He was diagnosed with diabetes, inherited from his parents. I was not informed about his parent’s health conditions. We spend a lot of money in caring for my baby. I hope no other family goes through what we experienced. The guilt to have to make that decision is horrible. I pray to God to forgive me for our decision. I did not want my baby to suffer.

I live in NYC. I traveled 10 hours to Harrisburg, PA for a beautiful male Pomsky that was advertised on LancasterPuppies.Com. This puppy's name was Blaze. He had piercing blue eyes and the bottom half of his face was Black. The rest of him was mixed with Black and tan. I paid $200 for Amtrak which included a fee to bring back a dog. I also made a $150 down payment on Blaze. The seller was Amish. When I arrived, Marvin King tried to tell me it was the same dog. Clearly it was not. The dog he showed me was mostly brown, had 1 left light blue eye and the right eye was half blue and half brown. His nozzle was longer and the fur texture and coloring was different as well. This puppy looked like a German Shepherd mix. I literally called the police on the spot who told me that it was a civil matter but Mr. King agreed to give me my $150 back on the spot. I was shocked as Amish people are usually known for being spiritual and honest people. I guess they're liars like most people. To make matters worse, when I went to the seller's page to "report ad" Lancaster's website would not allow me to do so and gave an error message. This Pomsky puppy Blaze is still being advertised on Lancaster. It is best to ask for current pictures and proof of vaccination prior to sending any down payments. This puppy was in PA. I am trying again with a seller from Ohio who answered all of my questions and shows the dog's mother and father on the selling page and also guarantees 1 year good health. This new seller also showed me current pictures and a video of the puppy playing with his siblings. UPDATE: I bought the Pomsky from Ohio (they charge a $300 delivery fee). This was a much better experience. However, the only negative is that the selling page/seller stated "vaccinations are up to date." Again, A LIE. My puppy was 15 weeks old and only had 1 Distemper 5-IN-1 vaccination and they need 3. He also did not have his rabies shot. I paid a really fair price for him so the extra $200 I had to spend to give him all required vaccinations wasn't too bad. But please ask for proof of vaccinations and any other claims that the seller states. My new Pomsky puppy is a bundle of energy and as adorable as can be!

Most of the puppies we found/visited were from puppy mills... Absolutely apalling that this continues so openly on this website.

Our puppy was advertised on this site. I thought it was a reputable place to find dogs at reasonable prices. They advertise for Summerset Farms in Seneca Falls NY. We called about a puppy, FaceTimed with the owner Curt expecting him to be truthful. Our puppy arrived… at the vet next day we were told of the many problems this “healthy” puppy had- a level 3 ear infection in both ears, a misaligned bite, granules in her stool, a recessed vulva, my vet suspected abuse. We kept her despite her medical costs- we felt we had rescued her from a horrible life. So sad to think of all those puppies there- please learn from our mistake. Lancaster lists him as a “reputable breeder” - need I say more!!!’

Lancaster puppy's take people money then cancel there add .. will not give refund mine was because my dog was on Straw. This site will take your money then try an make u run through hoops for a add..

We purchased a toy poodle from a Pennsylvania-based breeder and for months now have been trying to help this poodle get rid of Giardia. It has been a nightmare and exhausting trying to get this puppy well, we hope she gets better soon. Our first visit to the vet we learned our poodle had coccidia and giardia. We have spent so much money on vet visits etc. I regret that I did not do my homework and ask more questions. After our purchase we learned our puppy was never given proper treatment to prevent giardia and we learned the breeder is relatively inexperienced at breeding. When talking on the phone with the breeder we requested pictures of the parents and the breeder said he would show us the parents but never did. I will never purchase a puppy through Lancaster puppies ever again and would never recommend to anyone I know.

Advertised with them for 14 yrs. Looking else where. This entire year, I've had to pay twice for every puppy. Why? Because they DO NOT SHUFFLE THE PUPS. WITHOUT FAIL... Every pup I posted this year is at the bottom. Now my pups don't sell. Lost money. Pay twice. DONT ADVERTISE WITH THEM. *THEY* decide who is at the top and who is at the bottom. There is zero basis or protocol as where your ad falls. It's based on them deciding who stays at the bottom. I posted 18 pups this year and not one of them was ever at the top or in middle. They are very UNFAIR which is another term for DISHONEST.

These are Amish and Mennonite puppy mills. Sick dogs infected with Giardia and worms. These pups' parents are treated like livestock. I have been to several of these facilities and its all about quantity not quality. And the pups that don't get sold let's just say they disappear somewhere in the manure pile.
