99.9% of puppies on here are from puppy mills. We adopted a puppy and he had all the attributes of a puppy mill dog. Terrified of everyone, didn't know how to play, didn't trust anyone, smelled like a barn even after MANY baths. He ended up becoming aggressive towards my husband and 2 year old daughter, we had to take him back to the "breeder" because no rescues or shelters would take him. After we returned him I reverse searched the man's number, found his state license #, and lo and behold he is published in the Horrible Hundred, published by the Humane Society of the United States. He has several violations. Do NOT adopt from "Allen Miller" in Millersburg, OH. His full name is actually James Allen Miller.
I drove over 2 hours to see a puppy. When I got there the puppy looked ok. But the parents were filthy and matted and The sire was looking petrified. They had him hidden until I asked to see him. The puppy had smelly ears so I figured it had an ear infection or something going on. The puppy was also living in a cage on the barn floor with some hay. I almost bought him, but my gut said no. I looked again and he is sold. I hope someone has luck with him and he is healthy.
Edna and Lancaster has tentacles through out country. Don't buy off Amish or off farm. They will die and Lancaster pays off vet for clean bill of health. It happened to me. Paid $3000 in vet bills. Nothing from Lancaster but lies. Stoponlineouppymills did a whole story about my experience.
This site will steal your money not Publish your ads I changed the photos and the name claiming this is a violation of their website it's amish owned most breeders on there are puppy mills selling poor quality pups
Hello Elizabeth, We are sorry for your negative experience. Lancaster puppies has policies that advertisers are required to follow. Selling a whole litter from 1 ad is a violation as well as changing the pictures and the name to represent a littermate after one pup is sold. The policy is clearly stated when advertising with us. Of course if you are in violation of our policies, your ads will be unpublished, however, we always give the option of correcting your ads and having them re-published. Lancaster Puppies is NOT Amish owned, and we do NOT in any way promote puppy mills or unethical breeding practices. We have many happy dog owners that are pleased with their new puppies that they found through this site. We wish you the best.
We bought our German Shepherd from David King in Gordonville, Pennsylvania in April of this year. Thor just turned 10 months old was perfectly healthy, thriving growing, and the joy of our life. Yesterday morning we woke to him, passed away in his cage overnight. He had a congenital heart defect we had no idea of that is genetic from over breeding. Our family is devastated and I want people to know that this breeder is not reputable and is possibly selling dogs that aren't gonna live even a year 💔
Scam breeders the Amish are likely selling inbred puppies at a discounted rate. Websites like this and Greenfield puppies advertise puppies being mass produced at off grid Amish puppy mills and steel your money. No way! Walk away and grab an ethical breeder.

We have been on the search for a Havanese puppy for several months now. Along the way, we have run into several puppy scams. Lancaster puppies was the first reputable website we found. We purchased a male Havanese puppy from breeder Kirsten Zimmerman out of Ohio. She and her family were great to work with, very transparent and honest. When our puppy was delivered, he was very well behaved, and well groomed; good signs that he was well cared for. He came with vet records, vaccination records, registration papers and a sample of puppy food for smooth transition. I am so thankful to have found this website and an honest, reliable breeder. Our puppy search is over and we are so excited to call this puppy ours.
Thank you Megan for the 5 star review! So glad to hear of your wonderful experience. Best wishes!
I bought my first puppy a little over a year ago from a very nice lady in the southern part of PA. Lydia is her name. She helped me find transport for the puppy. I have no idea how I would have gotten her home without the breeders help. The puppy was beautiful and clean and health and happy when she arrived to me from approximately 400 miles away. This puppy has been my Joy ever since she arrived. No joy is not her name. I love her so much and I'm so happy she came to me. I am happy with my experience on Lancaster Puppies and am looking there for my second puppy.
Hello Susan. Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased to hear that you had a good experience in finding your adorable puppy from Lydia. We hope you have found a "friend" for Lydia by now and your experience was just as wonderful. We wish you the best and we thank you for using our website to find your adorable puppies.
Took deposit nd would not show current pics of dog. Made up many reasons to break appts. No such person Susan Arslan in NJ at all! Scammer. Mother is a pedigree but in the baby shot you see the legs of matted fur and pee covered mama.
Hello Kim, We are sorry to hear of the experience that you had with a breeder/seller that advertised on our website. We do our best to verify each person that advertises with us. Hopefully you were able to work something out with the breeder. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. And please keep in mind, we are merely the advertising medium for breeders to find new homes for their puppies. You can reach us at contact@lancasterpuppies.com
We were looking everywhere for our new puppy and found him on lancasterpuppies.com. The breeder was super helpful and cared deeply about our puppy's journey home. Would purchase another puppy from that breeder!
Hello Makenna, Thank you so much for your great review. We are pleased to hear that your experience with the breeder and your puppy was wonderful.

Hello James Perna, It's you again? We get quite a few 1 star reviews from you through different review platforms including our website. It makes one wonder how many puppies you actually own. With all the experiences that you claim to have, you must house hundreds of dogs. Is "Stop Online Puppy Mills" aware of the amount of dogs you own? Is it possible that YOU are operating a puppy mill? We at Lancaster Puppies in no way supports or promotes puppy mills. This is why we will not allow you to advertise on our site. We know what your agenda is...
