Horrible Amish Puppy Mills

5th of Jun, 2018 by Maggiesdogs

I went to Lancaster puppies.com for a puppy and ended up at six different Amish puppy mill Farms over a period of 2 weeks. The dogs and puppies are in outdoor buildings, almost every place had about 50 dogs. All the adult dogs seem to be shaved. They did have really long toenails and very dirty ears. Instead of drinking out of a water bowl they drink from these tubes that have balls on the bottom like a rabbit does in a cage or guinea pig. I just want you people to know as a dental assistant that tube causes teeth decay in less than 2 years. A dog is not supposed to lick a tube of water with a ball on the end getting only drops at a time for a drink. A dog is suppose to lap water out of a bowl so that the water cleans every part of their mouth while drinking. While their barns may be air conditioned and heated, and somewhat clean, these dogs are never ever inside of a home. They are not loved or touched or cared for properly. I refused to buy a dog from every one of those locations. I did finally find a breeder on lancasterpuppies.com that was a very small breeder. She had a small kennel attached to her home in Upper state NY. The dogs and puppies were in and out of her home around her family and kids. They were all friendly socialized clean and but I did have to drive a few hours to find this person. I live in Scranton Pennsylvania. There are small breeders on that site and one clue is there puppies pictures are not taken outside. Another clue as to a small good breeder is they will answer emails. The Amish don't answer emails or have email. They don't do email. They do phone calls only. A dead giveaway. Ended up buying a second puppy from this person about 4 months later just to find out that she stopped advertising on there because she said they're prejudiced against small in-home breeders and would rather Amish only advertise on there. Maybe this explains why you only run into Amish puppy mills on their site. I'm just happy that I ended up getting to healthy puppies from a family home where the dogs are touched and loved and get to do family-orientated things.
