LANCASTER PUPPIES REVIEW

We purchased two puppies from Lancaster Puppies. Both were in Lancaster County, PA, where I believe this group originated. The first was a purebred poodle. We purchased her in 2009, after arranging a pickup time. All went well. The puppy was healthy and is now 11 1/2 years old. The second puppy we purchased was in 2012. Also a good experience. Soon after, we were searching for another puppy. We were surprised to find out that now puppies were available from, not only PA, but Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, etc. While the earlier purchases seemed to come from Amish and Mennonite communities, in the heartland of PA, it now seemed that any breeder, from anywhere was able to sell on this site. They still, however, called themselves Lancaster Puppies. Very misleading. We decided not to trust this “new” Lancaster Puppies site. Now, in 2022, I thought that I would look again. What I found was, not only breeders from PA, but from all over. Also, THE PRICE OF THE PUPPIES IS 4 TO 5 TIMES WHAT THEY USED TO BE, THE MIXED BREED THAT I WANT RANGING FROM $2000 TO $5000. Previously, these puppies ranged from $300 to $800 dollars. Most of these are mixed breeds, and virtually all are not AKC registered. Used to be a great place to find a healthy, reasonably priced puppy, but sadly, this is not the case anymore.
