“Fantastic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel”

Stephanie S.
7/7/22

I found my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a breeder on this website. She is perfect. Now almost 10 months old. Healthy, smart, playful. While I support rescue it wasn't for me at this time in my life. CKCS rescue have long wait lists, and the fee's $$$. My Amish breeder was raising one kind of dog in there home, with there children helping. The puppy's were very well cared for. Vet checked, vaccinated Microchip and came with a one-year health guarantee. My puppy is AKC registered.

“Beware of parvo”

Jeanne M.
2/26/23

We bought 2 puppies 10 weeks old and they both have Parvo. We didn't have any paperwork from the seller. We can't prove anything but we don't care as much about the money as we do the fact that he still has puppies for sale on the website after we told him ours were sick. He can continue to sale sick puppies that will likely suffer and die without hospitalization. $2600 later, ours will make it. Cruel to breed if your farm is contaminated. Beware buyers. Forget getting help from humane society m or A.S.P.C.A. We keep getting referred to different agencies. Now it's ohio dept. Of agricultural. What a shame.

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

We bought a mix breed puppy off this site rather than rescuing (which is what I usually do) and I went against my better judgement. This pup was a lot older than what we were told, had never seen a vet and they met us at a public place and wouldn't let us see either parent or where they were being kept. Everything that screams puppymill. I handed over the money and the pup was handed to my son. He has a major defect with his penis and requires thousands of dollars in surgery to fix it because it was left like that for so long. How can someone ignore something so obvious like that. Would not recommend

Saw yorkshire terrier puppy advertised in Bluffton, Indiana for $625. Made arrangements to pick up puppy next day, Paul tells me puppy is well socialized, time with his kids, etc. I get there and there's a huge outside chain link kennel, puppy had never been inside. I pay and then told "no, she's $800", said someone else must have changed the price. This was a straight up puppy mill, brought her home with me after telling him what I thought. Poor thing is terrified, glued to my side. Shame on them! So glad I rescued her. Hoping Indiana officials see this and take action!

I was looking at a puppy for a while and the website said that the pup was still available, I texted them asking if he was and all I got was "no" that's it. And it still says the pups available. Unprofessional.

Tip for consumers:
Nope just that you shouldn't advertise a pup that isn't available and be kinder

Buckeye P. – Buckeye Puppies Rep

Hello Tess, We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with a breeder on our website. It is unfortunate that the puppy that caught your eye was no longer available. I checked our website and see that the puppy "Tanner" is no longer available, so it is possilbe that the puppy had just sold and the breeder had not yet marked him sold. I did see that they have another puppy, "Hunter" available. It's too bad that the breeder did not inform you of any other options or pups that were available. Communication is very important and unfortunatley communication via text message can be taken in the wrong light. We hope that you were able to find a puppy that catches your eye, and if not, we wish you the best in your search for your new furry companion.

My puppy is 10 months old and dying of congential kidney failure. I hate to see her suffering and I called the guy I purchased her from and he doesn't answer his phone.He insisted she was in good health. Don't buy from this breeder. You heart will be broken.

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.

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.

I am trying to make everyone aware of a breeder in Fresno,Ohio. We bought a puppy from Norman Mast. Very questionable conditions. Showed us the mother and the father and the mother could not even walk. She was so neglected. Tried to text Norman Mast today to ask if our teddy bear dog was a gray blue merle. These are known for hearing and vision problems. From the parents, they told us was hers, there is no way we could have a blue merle, but I'm pretty certain she is. When asking him about this nicely, he blocked me from his cell phone number. The only way to contact him. Red flag everyone. Please do not support puppy mills. The Mast family is big into this. There is a Sam Mast who was on the puppy mill list. They are all related. We need to shut these places down one tragedy at a time. Very curious also about what happens to the poor mom and dad once their breeding years and money making days are over. Hope Buckeye Puppies does not delete this post. Super important.

So I was lucky enough to have the sweetest cutest and loving mini golden-doodle ever. But this site support puppy mills at its finest. I drove two hours from Toledo to apples Creek Ohio. She looked so small in her pictures but when I picked her up the Amish breeder was shock that I was black person then try to tell me how take care of my golden doodle but didn't tell me she didn't have any of her shots but lie on the ad saying Lindsay was up to date. Lindsay was only 3 months when I bought her home. She had ear infection bad sooo thanks to the breeder that try tell me how to take care of her hair instead of actually getting the dog shots and check up on her health DONT BUY FROM HERE PLEASE ITS ALL Amish PUPPY MILLS

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.

I bought my dog this morning and she's amazing but unfortunately was never treated or checked for fleas. She's infested with them! Make sure when you buy a puppy from them you check and ask if they actually have given their puppy proper treatment…informed the breeder and said she never checked for them.

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

Saw pup purchased what I was told was a Pom for $950. Only to find out now the dog is a mixed breed of three different lineages. Buyers beware

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.

This website is strictly an advertising board for Amish Puppy Mills. Cheap, dirty and unhealthy puppies and they really don't seem to care. Steer clear.We got a female Golden Retriever that turned out to have a congenital heart murmer and conjunctivitis in both eyes. We got a "sorry" from them and a very expensive bill from our vet.

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.

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.

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.
