I will be Keeping this as short as possible, I will start with the positives and then some of the negatives.
We purchased a 15 week old black pug puppy from a breeder on the Lancaster site. Lancaster and Greenfield seem to be Amish breeders. Our experience was Mostly positive Especially on the important points.
We love the puppy and she is absolutely beautiful, but After having a full work up with my vet, who is very good, she did have ear mites, and some parasite which we were given a couple of prescriptions for. It’s fair to note that Vet said this is common, regardless of where you get the puppies. He said no matter how much you spend there will always be a risk with a new puppy.
We are very happy with the purchase at 15 weeks. She was 90% house trained very alert in one day and even plays fetch with no signs of anxiety at all from the transition.
I would recommend this breeder that I got my dog from even though there were a couple issues which were small ones and the vet said her nostrils were 100%, which is excellent for a breed like this and her heart and everything else checked out very well.
Before this I had a French bulldog I paid $5000 for and he had ear mites when I got Him too at 14 weeks.
My advice to you is have two or three breeders lined up when looking which I did and they were within 15 miles of each other and then you keep looking, which is what we were prepared to do But as far as we’re concerned, the first breeder worked out very well and we would highly recommend her because her place was very clean. She had an outside Yard where you could view all the adults and we were given fairly thorough vaccine and health records.
AKC and ACA rated is always better but in our case, the parents were ACA and the puppies were rated But Again got a very good rating for my vet.
Regardless of where you get a puppy from get an immediate to make sure you made a good purchase and at that point, it was bad they could always be returned.
