Different Breed!?
April 5, 2023

Found a black lab puppy (Per breeder...We saw Mom but not Dad)available beginning of December and contacted the woman. She needed a PayPal deposit. I sent it. Said she never got it and gave the puppy away to someone else. Come to find out she gave me the wrong email for PayPal. Well, I received my deposit back but now had no dog. She let me know a black litter had recently been born and would be available at the end of December. Some of her dates didn't add up but I ignored it. We picked up our puppy December 27. He was little but had HUGE paws. We love big dogs! As he got older even the vet was surprised by some of his growth and how his fur and its coloring was coming in. We mentioned it would be fun to do a DNA test. Well, 3 weeks later, we find out our black lab puppy is 78% border collie and honestly the other 22% is a mystery but lab was not listed! Honestly, I think when she gave away the black lab puppy that I thought I put a deposit on she panicked or something and went to one of the other Amish breeders in town and retrieved whatever black puppy they had. I did let her know. She was apologetic and claimed to not know her lab was shacking up with the neighbor dog. I am going to do another dna test to hopefully see some lab or at least get more genetic info on boarder collies. Please get allllll information before buying. Ask for a DNA test before hand. Something. Maybe other breeders on this site do that already? We love our boy. He could be part goldfish for all I care. He's so goofy and lovable and gives the best kisses...he's just not a black lab

If you buy from this site, you are a big part of the problem! Please rescue or buy from a reputable, ethical breeder. This is not the way! Don't be that person.

Hello Nancy, Thank you for your concern about puppy mills. Buckeye Puppies encourages ethical breeding practices and in no way do we support puppy mills or poor breeding practices. We do our best to vet each seller on our website. Also, if there are questionable practices, we do investigate and if the breeder is a puppy mill or is unethical in their breeding practices, we no longer allow them to advertise. We have many happy dog owners that have found their new furry friends on our website and many go back to their breeders for additional puppies to add to their family.

Middleman for Puppy Mills
February 18, 2022

Betty is the middle man for puppy mills to sell their dogs to people all over the country. Buckeye Puppies recently brokered a Bernadoodle to a buyer in NJ. The Bernadoodle was diagnosed with pneumonia a week later and is now dying of distemper yet Betty has done nothing to hold the breeder ( Joe and Arlene Mast of Baltic OH) accountable for selling sick dogs. She says on her website "fI we receive a report or complaint about a seller, we investigate, take down their advertisements, and ban the seller if necessary." But she has not taken down his ads and continues to promote his puppy mill and sick dogs.
This entire dog selling business is horrible and the Amish treat these animals like livestock, not pets. I highly suggest you go to a local breeder you can visit many times to see the conditions or better yet ADOPT from your local shelter.

I purchased a Morkie puppy in September 2022 from an Amish man named Lonnie Yoder from Bennington Indiana. Turns out to find that my little darling was diagnosed with a liver shunt and had to undergo a tap to drain fluid from her abdomen. Fast forward to April 2023, today I had to have my beloved Willow euthanized. Overbreeding caused this issue in my puppy and these people need to be stopped because it's terrible they get away with breeding so often these pups are predisposed to genetic conditions. I loved my dog Willow and I and so distraught and in complete distress because she was the most amazing dog and her life was cut short because these people overbreed causing this genetic condition.

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.

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.

Hello Ervin, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In the future, simply ask the photographer to view the pictures when they are there. If you have large litters, let the scheduler know that you will need extra time with the photographer. The photographers are on a schedule and like to get the best pictures possible so they can move on to the next customer. Thank you for understanding.

Beautiful beaglier

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

Do your research
August 14, 2023

Let me start out by saying, we absolutely love our puppy!
I started talking to Alice on the site. We were supposed to get a Micro Mini Golden Doodle, weighing up to 15lbs full grown. He was also supposed to be microchipped and were told he was 16 weeks old.
We communicated through text messages, and responses from Alice took a few days to get back. (she did the behind the scenes work for the seller)
When we picked Buster up, we could tell that he was not a "Micro." I would never have not taken him. We fell in love with him immediately. He was so playful and fun. The man I picked him up from said he would probably be around 17lbs full grown….
Buster went to the vet last week. He weighed 13.4lbs. When my husband mentioned him being 16 weeks old our vet said, he is no way 16 weeks old, maybe 10-11 weeks tops.(she could tell by his teeth. He doesn't even have all his baby teeth. That's how they can tell his age)
I messaged Alice telling her about not being 16 weeks and could we possibly get his correct birthdate and of course no response.
So in the end, we absolutely love Buster! We have no idea how old he is, he's not microchipped and he's not a Micro Mini( maybe a Mini but we don't even know that.
I'm not sure if the original dog we saw in the site was possibly sold twice, so we were given a different dog, or what exactly has happened, just please do your research and ask questions when you get there.
Once again, I don't want to return the pup, I don't want my money back, just the accurate dob.

Happy healthy pup
April 4, 2023

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.

My boyfriend and I bought a silver lab puppy from Buckeye Puppies a few months ago and it got sick a week after I purchased the puppy. The puppy has diaherra constantly and goes all day and all night. I have paid over $1,000 dollars in vet bills and took her to multiple vets and they said she has roundworm and a parasite called Giradia. I did two rounds of treatments and this puppy is still sick and not getting better and I have no idea what to do. DO NOT BUY from this site you will waste money and end up with a sick puppy and be stressed all the time. Now I have this beautiful puppy that I cannot fix and it's very sad.

Scam Site
February 17, 2021

My husband and I saw an ad for a lovely Yorkshire terrier puppy from a breeder in Madison, Indiana. They were selling at least 15-20 random Yorkshire terrier puppies and most looked nothing like a Yorkie. Red flag #1. We found a cute 8 week old pup and contacted the seller. She preferred we have her husband deliver the pup to our home. We weren't that far so we didn't mind. However, she demanded a $500 deposit and delivery fee. They never ended up delivering the dog. She then got in contact with me when the dog was 20 weeks old and said he would be there next week. Guess what? Next week came and no dog again. When I checked into her background it turns out she is an online dog scammer. Basically, she has no dogs and is not a breeder she just steals money from people and claims it's a "deposit". We contacted the website to please remove the seller and her post because it is just a scam but they did not. Please be wary of anybody on that website. Also, lancasterpuppies.com is their sister site. They have the same posts and the same scams.

Puppy Mill
January 5, 2023

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!
