Absolutely Very kind family to purchase a dog from. We have purchased two Labrador Retrievers now and honestly look nowhere else. Looking for a wonderful addition and this breed, I highly reccomend the Horst family.

Rottie Pup
December 6, 2020

We have had Ruger for over a year now, could not ask for a healthier pup. We drove from Ny to Ohio to get her, I know all about the puppy mills as well. Do your research, ask questions, meet the puppies parents, and like I said ask Questions. We went to the house, meet the pup and its mother, both in great condition, and kept in a clean room as well.

Sweetest Shepsky
February 14, 2022

Like everyone else who purchased a puppy from Landcaster, I was nervous, and reading the reviews did not help. My puppy arrived around 10 weeks old well-behaved and in great shape. I have not had to train him at all to listen. He is a healthy Shepsky, well trained, and very sweet.

Landcaster appears to be a listing service for multiple breeders. Sunny Bank Farm, Eli Glick was as careful with us as we of him. Eli wanted to be sure we could take this on. Met friendly Mom, 4 healthy and happy pups and had time to meet them all. Our pup Holly was everything we hoped for, and is shockingly smart. We couldn't be happier.

Fraudulent
March 17, 2024

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.

This is a site that lists dogs for breeders or for someone trying to sell their puppy. I am extremely happy with my puppy that I bought from this site. Seller was honest and everything was perfect... The site can not help if someone lists a puppy and it's a scam... I will recommend Lancaster pets to everyone... THANK YOU for having a website so I could find puppy.

Watch the dog you buy especially if it considered a miniature, looked at several so-called miniature dachshunds and they were as big as beagles, and I would swear they were crossed with beagles or corgis. These large USDA facilities are puppy mills and quantity are their goal. I bought a Cavalier from a Mennonites Puppy mill and he too I believe was mixed breed he grew up and was 40lbs, and huge. I took him back and they refuse to take him or refund my money. And these dogs were registered. So registration from puppy mills is a joke. Buyer beware, find a small breeder better service and better-quality pets.

Puppy mill! DO NOT BUY

Puppy mill! DO NOT BUY! Do not give these people any money! These poor dogs deserve to love a better life than what they provide! Poor mom and dad doggies. They need shut down and treated like they treat their animals!

Trisha, Lancaster Puppies provides advertising for many small breeders looking for good homes for their puppies. At Lancaster Puppies, we do not own, breed, raise, or sell, or house puppies ourselves. We simply seek to provide a good advertising platform to connect buyers with quality breeders. We are not a puppy mill, nor do we support puppy mills in any way. If you have a concern about a breeder on our site, please let us know at contact@lancasterpuppies.com

Love my puppies
January 28, 2022

I got my pup from an Amish family not a puppy mill advertised in Lancaster puppies. This is my second Chihuahua puppy I received from two different families and neither one of them were a puppy mill. Nobody ever scammed you out of your money and my last puppy I got to go up and look at all eight of the puppies and pick out the one I actually wanted. The mommy and daddy right there on the premises. Both of my puppies have been healthy, beautiful, and loving pups. I highly recommend Lancaster puppies.

We adopted our German Shepherd Justin (Bo) from an Amish farm in central Pennsylvania and we couldn't have asked for a better dog. The family running the farm was very friendly, took good care of the dogs. The puppy was ultra friendly, potty trained himself for the most part, and gets along great with our current dog. The price for the puppy was decent and we were presented the papers during the pick up. We are highly satisfied with Lancaster Puppies, and the Amish family we adopted from!

I have encountered many "sellers" that go by fake names and locations. They post fake puppy pictures and videos. DO NOT send anybody deposit money or a full payment for a puppy until you've actually met the puppy or FaceTimed. $1,500 was stolen from me by a very clever scammer. Please see the images below and steer clear of fake sellers like this. Lancaster puppies is like Craigslist they protect and harbor scammers. They have refused to take action on any of these ads and there have been over 100 people scammed out of money. Typically we've seen them with Yorkshire terriers because they are pricey. I would avoid this website at all cost.

Tips:
-Never spend money without seeing the dog in person or on facetime
-Beware of anyone who only wants to converse over text
-Beware of sellers wanting you to send money to "deliver" the pup. It's a scam
-Ask for references
-Use breeders through a trusted source (friends, Facebook, etc

I spent months trying to get our first family dog that fit our needs from shelters and rescues with no luck or call backs. So after being priced out of the breeder option and not finding anyone with available puppies we looked at other options. Ideally I wanted a mix to reduce health concerns. I was nervous using lancaster puppies as there was minimal information about the seller and even the pets. After a few weeks of seeing adorable pups I gave in and took a chance and a 4hr drive to pick up our new pup! She is a pugalier and we got to see her parents on site. It was a mennonite family who bred her. They were great only complaint is we paid cash and I do wish other payment options were available for deposit or payments. We have had her for over a month so far perfect health checks and great new family member.

We bought a puppy from here and he's been just fine. People don't seem to realize Lancaster is not a company of puppies. It's like Craigslist for breeders. It's very important that you vet and investigate yourselves. Have the self awareness it requires to notice you're being scammed. Craigslist is constantly in trouble for trafficking, scamming, luring, and fake outs. That's how third party sites are.

We decided to breed our dog for our boys to have the experience of having puppies. It was a one-time thing; we don't plan to do it again. We listed them for sale on Lancaster Puppies. I did not receive any calls, texts, or emails from any prospective buyers. There weren't even any page views for 9 of the 10 listings on their seller view. We ended up finding new homes for our puppies by local flyers and a sign in our yard. I contacted the admin to ask what went wrong and if we could have a refund for the failed marketing. They claimed that their view counter was broken by google updates which is why it appeared that no one saw our ads. They denied any refund and indicated that there were two reasons we didn't have any sales from their service. 1) Our prices were too high (yet we sold them locally). 2) Puppies aren't selling well right now (again, we sold them locally). Now that I've read some reviews, I see they have a very bad reputation as a puppy mill host. I should have read reviews before I spent $190 listing all 10 of them. To prospective sellers, you're probably better off not using this service. I suspect there are some people like me marketing a litter from a family dog on the platform, but according to reviews, you will be competing against sellers with questionable ethics.

Hello Delton. We are sorry to hear of your negative experience advertising with us. There are many factors that could have caused your puppies not to sell.

Perfect Happy Puppy
July 29, 2021

I just recently purchased a playful loving little Cakapoo from breeder Martha Wenger in Ephrata PA who was very gracious to me and my family at the time of my pick up. Molly is the most friendlies pup ever. She's very healthy according to her veterinarian in New York our place of residence. Molly has been complimented so many times on her playful, friendly and of course the cutest puppy anyone has ever seen. So cute that lots of people have requested the name and number of the breeder Mrs. Martha Wenger. Thank you Mrs Wenger for breeding a well bred pup who has made myself and my family very grateful for having Mollyin our lives.

I drove from New Jersey to redensberg, PA after her breeder did not hesitate for me to come meet her and get her. The moment I saw her I fell in love! These people In NJ are getting dogs from here and reselling it for 5k ripping people off. My baby girl is the best Labrador companion I got! She even came with a start of dewormer shots and distemper shot. Awesome experience!

Made arrangements to drive out to a puppy farm that breeds labs and Golden's and a few others. The Rabers farm in Lancaster PA area. It was a 3 hour drive one way with kids and wife. They said they would hold the dog but when I got there, they said someone just took the dog. I paid a $200 deposit through an online app, zelle and they returned it to me by writing a check. Which was honest enough... But I ended up putting 7 hours on the road for no reason. Spent $80 in gas $60 on food. Had crying kids. Not nice!

Precious Pups USA
April 30, 2022

I bought a pup from Precious pups USA in Bedford Ohio. Upon receipt of my pup who had to be shipped to me, I took him to the vet where I found out he is very sick. He not only had bordetella, but also an ear infection and giardia. Considering he has never been around any other dogs or outside since I purchase him there is no way he could have gotten these after coming to me. Lancaster puppies was a recommended site but this breader is not. Contacted the breader who was uncompromising and did not take responsibility for selling me a sick pup. The vet records were also forged.
