“Buyer Beware”

Scott S.
4/23/24

Scam artist and cons are using this site. Also these large USDA puppy mills produce a lot of pups at our rageous prices. Beware of dapple/merle pups. As some of these uneducated mills breed dapple to dapple or merle to merle to get more merle/dapple pups in a litter. These pups then can have eye, ear and other health problems from this bad genetics. I bought pup that was Akc registered and when I got pedigree to see background of pup the pedigree was full of unregistered dogs which were transfered from a pet registry. Even Akc is accepting anything for registry. It's all about the coins the integrity and dignity of registration has been discarded for the almighty dollar. Like these large breeding facilities where parent of pups are treated like livestock. Then when they no longer can produce they end up at swap meets,rescues,humane societies or put down. Same with any pups that can't be sold. Find a repeatable honest breeder where quality is more of a concern than quantity.

“STAY AWAY!”

I found a breeder named "moose" on this site in June of 2020 which is associated with Pine acres puppies…I purchased a French Bulldog that was from OHIO and I picked her up from a handler in NJ… right out of the gate, this dog was diagnosed with congenital pulmonary stenosis, Her first six months she constantly had a parasite she had diarrhea. She was vomiting. She had bloody diarrhea. Finally after getting All of that Under control and on a really good food, she did well for a little while until she started to develop a strange spasm in both of her back legs. The vet noted that her back legs were much longer back than the French bulldog. The spasms in her legs started when she was five months old. Then she developed a seizure disorder, Then she developed cancer … the spasms never stopped and They continued until July 5 of this year 2024 where the spasms started to take over her life and started to happen in her front paws as well… for the past six months I watched my poor girl suffer from Seizures And these debilitating spasms that were result of neurological problems in her genes. On 7/5/2024 at just 4 years old I had to say goodbye to buy Sophie …her suffering was taking over her life, she didn't play anymore she was becoming aggressive with her pain and all 18 pills she took a day were not helping! Please I beg you stay away from any breeder named moose in Ohio associated with Pine acres puppies …I'm beyond heartbroken that I had to put her to sleep to end her misery and continue my own. I spent thousands of dollars on this dog, Over the past four years thankful she had insurance, but the bills were still extremely high. This poor dog had to go to the vet constantly, including the emergency vet her last few days. She was so restless she could not get comfortable. There was nothing I could do for this poor girl except her free so she could run wild without any pain

We've had our Corgi puppy for a month. He came to us and started in with diarrhea, ear yeast infection,and Giardia! Have spent over $700.00 in vet bills and puppy still has diarrhea. He has been on medication since we brought him home. Terribly disappointing to know they are selling sick puppies to unsuspecting customers. I do NOT recommend them.

I recently purchased 2 Jack Russell Terriers using this website to contact the breeders. The puppies were located in North-Central Ohio in Amish Country. Both times my wife and I went to see the puppies, we were invited into the breeders' homes Amish/Mennonite families). We were able to play with the puppies for as long as we wanted. At both locations, the puppies were healthy, happy, lively and well socialized. They have a strict 8 week release policy. The veterinary records were available. We were able to see and pet the parents at both locations. Both farms and homes were very clean and well kept. We showed up at the first place an hour before the scheduled appointment so we could assess the living conditions. The puppies were in the house playing with their kids. Use this site to find your new companion, you won't be disappointed. I am an equine veterinarian and I have had Jack Russell Terriers for the past 25 years. I tried adding pictures but this website won't allow it.

I reached out about a female, 11 week old Shiba Inu. The response was immediate. He offered me to come onsite to see the pup. I made the 3 hour drive to Millersburg, Ohio ( Amish town). The home and land was extremely clean. Him and his wife showed me the parents. My pup aaa the last of litter. They gave me Akc paperwork and shot records. A small bag of puppy food and never required a deposit. We have had our puppy just a few days. But so far e eeytgibg seems ok. She has a vet appointment in 2 weeks though. I would definitely purchase another pup from this breeder in the future.

We got our Boo from an Amish breeder in Indiana. We didn't know this until after we arrived and we weren't going to leave without her. Motivated by fear from all the puppy mill stories, we went straight to our vet. We ran every test we could and had all her vaccines re-done incase her paperwork had been falsified in anyway. At home, we quarantined her from pets of friends and family.
It's been a year, never a problem, and she's still perfectly healthy. My heartbreaks for those who lived a nightmare.
We got lucky!? I don't know. But Boo has been a dream come true and we couldn't be happier. So happy in fact, tomorrow, we are going to get her a sister...(2nd pic)

I seen horrible reviews on this site and was very leary. After further research and talking with the breeder we became more comfortable. I am so glad we found our 2nd love on this site. David Yoder and his wife in Fredricksburgg, OH were wonderful people and sold us the most loving, healthiest pup ever! We are so thankful for them and so is our first pup, she loves her new bestfriend

Bought a golden retriever pup from an Amish family in sugarcreek Ohio for $200 puppy was registered, medical paperwork reguarding deworming and vaccinations as well as being microchipped. Gave me a bag of dog food they feed to mix in so the pup would gradually get used to the food we buy.
We were able to meet parent, and the farm they were kept seemed to be kept well.

I bought the sweetest schnoodle from Buckeye Puppies. The following was my experience:

The puppy was given some sort of drug just before our meeting. They had to physically put him in my lap when we met and he was completely unresponsive, to food, to physical contact, even to sound - the entire 3+ hour drive home.

He would only go the restroom on concrete and didn't know what to do in real grass. (Though the woman said he'd just been outside with her while she was hanging laundry!?!

He didn't know how to drink from a bowl and had to be taught. (Like he'd only drunk from a water bottle.) He always sat with his back against the wall, even when he slept.

Lastly, He was supposedly up to date on all of his puppy inoculations when I got him, and had even been to the vet with me (with the list of shots, so they didn't inoculate him further, as he was "up to date) - he died of Parvo at the age of 6 months.

This place is a puppy mill and those puppies are being treated horribly. They should be shut down. Please do not support this business!

Anyone selling 50 breeds of dogs is not ethically responsible.
It's impossible to find that many ethical breeders turning out puppies left and right.
In other words, it a PUPPY MILL seller.

Disgusting backyard bred dogs. No health testing come with parvo. These people are a puppy mill. Never ever buy from this establishment.
