The manager Dan talked the breeder out of the transaction. Just because I had concerns like if because they were chihuahuas if they could get vaccines reaction and other concerns about vaccines in a 1lb puppy. If the the boy's testicles didn't dropped down if I get any kind of refund or any help with it. I asked if I could have breeding rights and the breeder had said yes. Somehow they talked her out and they canceled both puppies. Then the "manager" Dan (have never seen someone being a manager and behaving like that) was accusing me of supposedly using someone else to buy the puppies (I don't even have a clue). So disrespectful and he kept saying it. She dare to say she has transparency when she talked the breeder out of the transaction. The other employees were very nice (Jessica, Donna, Ashley, Reagean) but there's a little lack of communication. One didn't know what was going on when calling me. But no biggie because they were very kind I do admit that I should've done a better research on what UABR registration was. That was my fault and I own it and I apologize for that one. But what they did to me was very sad, unfair and you should be able to have concerns and questions when you're paying 8k for dogs. He treated me horribly. He was the one who wanted to cancel me, not the breeder. Update: it's not true what they're saying. I only had 2concerns/questions for Pawrade to ask the breeder. If puppy male was chryptorchid what would happen and what guarantee I would get if the testicles didn't dropped. The other thing was if vaccines could be spread out or lower dose to a 1lb puppy and when they said no I stopped and accepted what they said (I am not against vaccines, I just have experience with chihuahuas having seizures after getting multiplevaccines at a time). Then Dan brought up the topic of the vaccines again. That's when everything happened and the excuse was that I was going to breed them when the breeder gave me breeding rights. But if she didn't wanted me to breed them I would have respect that, spay/neutered and show them proof. I told them that and they still took them away from me. Instead of calling they do everything through a chat. My frustration was more with the process, things that were not clear to me and they showed it to the breeder. I did NOT changed anything. From the beginning I was clear but no one had an answer and another person called me and they had no clue what I was talking about so I had to explain it again and again. Then supposedly they canceled me because I was going to breed them although the breeder gave me breeding rights and everything was okay. Please don't fall for what they're saying. Now we're very heartbroken with everything for the puppies already bought 💔 and they sold the puppies to someone else (puppies are not replaceable). I only asked for things that anyone would ask if they're paying 4k per puppy. Also they don't allow communication with the breeder. People can interpret chats the way they want. This is a business and of course they will never accept they're wrong. I accept that in the UABR registration I was wrong by not educating myself. It is extremely wrong, unfair what they are saying and very hurtful.

As a breeder on this site that used them for years I have to say that they constantly flip people so you never know who you are dealing with! Also, as a buyer who uses a credit card can then, after delivery of the pup, turn around and dispute the charge leaving the breeder without payment and without a pup and no way to prosecute either as state laws are so lax that they don't prosecute for theft, so we are left to sue in small claims which means we have to travel there and then once we win the suit, we have no way to garnish wages either! All pawrade, Petpay and all their associated websites do is contact the credit card company and then turn you over to a collection company. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BREEDER AT ALL!!!! All this website cares about is the sale and that they collect their fees! They will not sue the customer who stole your pup! I had this happen 3 times! Still, I have never seen a dime and when I confronted them, they banned me from their website! Excuse me???? My dogs NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES EVER!!!!! That's a blatant lie by pawrade in their response and I demand that if you want to say this, then provide proof! I have proof on my end! Proof at how difficult you are in dealing with and how you do not care about the breeder at all, ONLY THE MONEY! You also do not care about the pups nor do you properly vet breeders or especially buyers! I can post on here pictures and replies by pawrade to back my claims up! I have a yorkie i sold to a buyer pawrade supposedly vetted whom has a different name on their credit card than on their license, that the license and credit card do not have the same address as the buyer's profile either! Does this sound like an ethical company you want to buy or sell to??? Then look at their response to my original claim!!! And yes, I was removed, but not for the statement you claim! I was removed because I constantly asked about when you would pay me for my pups that sold, what you've done to get my puppy back or be paid for a buyer that did not vet out that even an 8th grader could do a better job of checking addresses and names on to make sure they matched! I was not removed because of any of your lies! If people would like, go on Facebook and look at my dogs on cowcreekkennels and look at all the positive responses and how beautiful our dogs are! Then go back to pawrade and look at the poor quality that they allow and then tell me how high of a standard they set! I have much higher standards on myself and that I was removed because I QUESTIONED YOU AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING TO PROTECT THE SELLER FROM GETTING RIPPED OFF LIKE I DID! YOU DID, AND CONTINUE TO DO, NOTHING!

Our chocolate lab puppy came to us 10 days ago with parasites and resource guarding. He is on meds that we paid for to help him feel better. However, he has been resource guarding everything in the house. He growled and snaps when we put on and take off his harness. He resource guards his toys. This is a nightmare to my family with children. Especially when his page stated he was socialized with children and crate trained which he's not. He cries, whines and barks while in the crate. He tries to go after our children if they walk past him while he’s sleeping. We would have him sleep in his crate if he was actually crate trained. He doesn’t act like a “typical” puppy. We are heartbroken.

They say your first vet visit is covered and that was a lie. Was told the pup was crate trained and had been on many car rides the breeder said that he had only been in car to the vet. All I can say is do not trust them go above and beyond to vet the breeder once you have paid for the animal. That's the only way you can reach breeder anyways. Just be vidulant when dealing with this company.

I’m honestly shocked by the prices being asked for these puppies. I bought my beloved Yorkie, Cookie, from a breeder a few years ago for $1,300—which was fair and reasonable at the time. Sadly, both the breeder and my sweet Cookie have since passed, and I’ve been looking for a new puppy to bring some joy back into my life. But I just can’t believe the prices I’m seeing now. It feels like people are being taken advantage of, especially those of us who are just looking for a loving companion—not a designer accessory. A dog should be affordable for a good, caring home, not priced like a luxury item. I understand breeding takes time, effort, and care, but some of these prices are just outrageous. It’s disheartening to see how much the market has shifted. I hope more breeders can strike a balance between fair compensation and genuine care for matching puppies with the right families.

Here is the full story, good and bad. Unfortunately, the bad severely outweighs the good. I have been dying to get my first puppy for a long, long time. I'm 34 years old and finally have space and money to take care of a dog. My family has always had Boxers, so I wanted to carry on the tradition. My experience working with the customer service rep was actually very stellar. Quick to respond, friendly, personable, and someone that I felt comfortable to be honest with on what I really wanted. When it comes to spending thousands of dollars on an animal, I expected this type of service...and I got it! So long story short, I got the puppy trucked over to my home in California from, I believe Nebraska. The experience was easy, and very expensive. But it felt worth it. But with this expense comes a lot of risk. I know from the past that dogs (let alone Boxers) can always come with issues and ailments, but according to Pawrade they have a "Health Guarantee" - to dive a little further into that I quote from their website "Should a health issue arise after your puppy comes home, this Health Guarantee along with your Pet Insurance has you covered." Well surprise surprise, not even a year into owning Benny (my dog) he started losing weight, vomiting regularly, and became lethargic, drank like a fish, and peed every 30 minutes. So something was clearly wrong. I took him to two vets who after lots of testing (and thousands of dollars) they found that Benny had a Copper Storage Disease (also know as copper-associated hepatopathy). For those that don't know, basically all dog food and treats have copper in them. Even vegetables and poultry have copper in them. Well, Benny couldn't digest copper properly, and left untreated, the vet says he had a year or so to live. They took more tests and did a couple biopsies on his liver and ultimately prescribed 7 medications to detox his liver, clean his liver, and promote liver function. They also prescribed liver friendly food for Benny, that he will have to eat for the rest of his life. For just the food alone, that will be about $200/month. If Benny lives until the average lifespan of a Boxer, that is 11 years. So minus 1 year, that is $200/month x 12 months x 10 years. That is $24,000 in food that I would have otherwise NOT purchased had he been a healthy dog. Not to mention the medicine and the ultrasound/biopsy cost over $10,000. Thank god I had insurance, so I had to pay about $4,000 out of pocket. Now here is the real nasty side of the situation. When I asked Pawrade to help me, because of their so called 'guarantee' - well, long story short they denied the claim because he wasn't 'sick enough'. They said, and I quote "It is important to note that should there be a subsequent diagnosis of a liver shunt, which would necessitate surgical intervention to address the condition, your claim would then qualify for coverage based on the terms of your policy." - A Liver Shunt has NOTHING to do with the disease Benny has. A shunt is for a liver bypass issue or filtration issue. The copper storage disease can only be fixed by completely removing the copper stuck in the liver, and moving forward strictly have a copper free diet. Again, if I couldn't afford the medicine, or the operations - Benny would be dead in about 6 months from today. Not even before his 2nd birthday. The vet told me that Benny, who had just turned 1 in November, had a liver functioning like a 50 year old alcoholic. Now, by Pawrade's standards, that isn't an important enough issue to help cover my needs. They're basically saying "by our guarantee's guidelines, your dog is healthy enough that it doesn't fall under our guarantee". How is that healthy? I am furious for so many reasons - the greed, the misdirection, the lies, but what bothers me the most is the utter deniability of something so clearly obvious. Luckily, I am actually able to afford these procedures and medicines (plus the thousands of dollars in medicinal food), but some of you won't be that lucky. And you'll be faced with having to see your new dog (that you likely already spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on) die slowly, or to have to put them down. And Pawrade will be sitting there counting their cash, denying your claims just like the American insurance companies do. I should have listened to my gut. It all feels very "murphy's law". You could be lucky and get a perfect dog, and Pawrade will be the wonderful company that I first thought I was interacting with, but should anything go wrong, you stand the chance of facing a cold, heartless, insurance-type industry company that will laugh in your face with your dollars in their hands. I will never, ever consider doing business with them again. And I hope that none of you reading this experience what I've had to deal with these last few months.

Terrible do not attempt to purchase a dog ever the communication level is horrible they don’t call back when you leave messages no one picks up the phone I’ve been waiting for a call back for two weeks so I decided to delete my account and you can’t even do that for some reason it blocks you and refers you call and you get nowhere all I wanted to do was adopt a puppy for my daughter and I got nowhere I gave it a 1 star I wish I could give it negative 5 stars.

Terrible and overpriced. Harassing calls texts and emails they won’t let me unsubscribe to.
