Greenfield Puppies Reviews

Our male Labradoodle, Jake, is a little over a year now. We got him through Greenfield Puppies, which was like the middleman, and they were very good. I talked to them on the phone and they helped us out with the process. Jake had to be flown up here to Massachusetts. Jake's a good dog. He's a little honey.

I bought a Jack Russell Pug (Jug) mix 7 years ago. From the moment I bought him at the breeder's home, I knew he was a puppy mill dog. The parents were not on site and the dogs were kept in a barn that I was not able to see. My dog was infested with fleas and ended up having, per the vet, physical and medical signs of being a puppy mill dog. My dog had many medical conditions and was very aggressive despite many, many efforts with behavioral specialists, puppy classes, and lots of love to help this. My dog ended up dying due to his medical conditions and no, I'm not writing this because I'm angry. I'm angry because I didn't write it sooner to warn other people that Greenfield Puppies contracts out to all puppy mill breeders in the Lancaster Area.

I purchased a 12 week old chocolate lab puppy from Greenfield in September. We found the puppy on line and I didn't see anything but positive feedback when I researched Greenfield online. We arrived to an Amish farm with an outdoor pen with five or six puppies. Neither parents was on the premises and I should have left at that point but; however, I purchased a small female pup just to get her out of the pen. She had a scar under her eye but looked to be in good health. When we took her to our vet, she was infested with fleas and as a result she had worms. When I contacted Greenfield they told me to contact the breeder. I certainly would not purchase a puppy from them in the future.

On January 31, 2015, my husband and I traveled to Honey Brook, PA to pick up a beautiful Cockapoo puppy by the name of Nora. We thought we were dealing with a reputable kennel. Upon pulling into the driveway of this breeder's home, we began to have second thoughts. We walked into this home that had a horrific odor. That should have been the first clue! We walked down to the basement to see our beautiful Nora. We were stunned! She did not look anything like the puppy we saw online. Feces and urine were the only thing that stood out. The breeder barely spoke to us. He handed me a dirty hose soaked puppy. I was heartbroken, but could not leave her there.

Please do not use this website to purchase a puppy. They are nothing more than shills for puppy mills, many of which use inbreeding which will likely cause genetic defects in your dog. Even more important, they are neglectful and are known for animal mistreatment. You are bringing a new member into your family. Please do your research.

I have great concern about the sales practices of two breeders who advertise with Greenfield Puppies. First, I made an agreement by telephone with John ** of Paradise, PA to be at his home at the first available time (1/26, 8:00 am) to purchase a specific puppy, 200 miles from my home. This was the first date on which the puppy could be purchased. On 1/24 he telephoned to say he sold the puppy-- without consideration for our prior agreement.

Be aware what greenfield is. It is not a breeder. Greenfield is no more than a website administer for PA puppy mills. Nothing more, nothing less. Spend 30 seconds searching for reviews. These people over breed, feed the pets cow feed, clip their tails in the backyard, and destroy them if they do not sell. It's simply a money machine. Finally the papers are mostly fake. We purchased a boxer that is not a boxer. They have a local vet that is paid off. Can you get a good, healthy puppy? Sure but just be aware of the people you are supporting. If you truly love dogs, think twice.

I bought a miniature pinscher puppy called Chunky chunk on 11/9/14 when the dog was 10 weeks old. Breeder's name is Sam **. The page said health was guaranteed, vaccinated, AKC registered, vet checked by a breeder - all of that, even professional pictures. I took the puppy to vet 11/11/14 and vet at Petsmart. And vet told me the dogs tail was cut wrong, has skin disease that needs treatment, had a ring worm. The vet told me the dog should had never been sold like that. I eventually got my money back although the "breeder" Sam tried to just change for a different dog for me. Forget the money. I feel terrible for the puppy. The guy is not even a real breeder, he told me later that he is just doing this to go back to his country to visit his parents in Panama, since he got papers. He has more puppies too. They should not be there. :(

We purchased a 12 week-old English Bulldog from a couple in Narvon, PA via the Greenfieldpuppies.com website. Upon having the puppy checked by a vet near our home in Buffalo, NY - the vet immediately found medical issues. The puppy had loose kneecaps that would likely need to be corrected surgically (with a cost of at least $2000 per knee) - and the puppy had a significant heart murmur. The heart murmur was corroborated by 3 other DVMs (on 10-13-14) and we were prompted to see a specialist. The specialist (on 10-14-14) indicated that there was a significant heart murmur and diagnosed the puppy with a hypoplastic trachea (a trachea that is too small and would lead to chronic lung issues).

Looked into buying from this place. They list their location in Mount Joy - being a lifelong resident of Mount Joy and on counsel, I looked into it and no "Greenfield Puppies" exists. After researching further, basically they just send you directly to the mill for your puppy. I'm sure some are ok, but my guess based off of all the reviews I'm reading, most are not. A friend just pointed out they have a disclaimer on the bottom of their web page that dissolves them of all responsibility. That says it all.

We purchased what was advertised as a shetland sheepdog about 5 months ago. We wanted a small dog for our 3 yr old as we already have a sheltie who is 4 and is only 20 lbs. He is a collie that's going to be 70+ lbs! He's 5 months old and is already 35 lbs!

Breeders of these pups don't care who breeds what to who. Pet stores promote puppy mills where the pups are born. Be aware pups are sick, grow up with issues and parvo, so look up puppy mills and see where your pup started his first few sad weeks. BE AWARE.

We met a woman with a lab puppy who had a good experience with Greenfield. Mind you that the puppy was only 12 weeks old. We fell in love with a beautiful cavapoo in Strasburg and called to reserve her. I asked if they could keep her an extra week as we were going on vacation and they said yes if I pay a deposit. I drove 3 hours to their home and was astonished to find the puppies in a wheelbarrow, filthy and scared. They were very small for their age. My heart broke and I was anxious but left a deposit thinking I was rescuing this beautiful puppy from these conditions.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience via Greenfield. We had been recommended by a friend who obtained 2 pups through these breeders. We found a mini poodle who looked great in the picture. We've had 3 at one time and figured to add to our one remaining mini poodle. When we first arrived at the breeder's home and saw Fern in Oxford, we immediately fell for her. She was freshly bathed and looked even better in "person." The breeder suggested we get her checked out within 10 days by our vet.

My daughter wanted to see a puppy advertised on the internet by Greenfield puppies, a broker for an Amish breeder named Ben **. So AGAINST my better judgement... and really not wanting to "stereotype" the Amish, I drove out TODAY to their farm to see the cute little cavachon pups that Greenfield has on the net... I can honestly say this breeder has earned the stereotype. It was very sad, when we arrived for an appt we HAD. The mom and the pups were under a bush, in the mud near the front lawn where the woman of the home were husking corn. One of the sisters asked a small boy to get them and she explained that had she known I was coming, she would've cleaned them up a bit. The puppies mom was AFRAID of the back of my hand, as I showed to try and get near her. Her fur was matted, dirty and full of fleas... in short, she appeared road hard and put away wet. She was truly spent.

I purchased 2 Rottweiler puppies, brother and sister from an Amish guy name Ben and asked to his face any problems with hip dysplasia. I was told no, absolutely not - we give a guarantee. Well I know nothing about big dogs so after seeing mom and puppies we took them. 3 hour drive back home... Well we took them for our vet check. Mind you they are only 3 months old when we get them so our vet says everything seems fine but too young to tell anything. At 4 months old we get both of them fixed all their shots, etc... A lot of money later, then we start to notice the girl is getting around a little more difficult. Long story short, we take her in and vet says she could have played rough before we spend a lot of money taking x-rays - let’s wait a month to see how she is before we even think it is the hips especially since you were told no way by breeder either pup could get it...

Sad/upset traveled to Strasburg Pa for puppy advertised under Greenfield puppies. Advertisement stated puppy was ready for new home June 5 2014. On June 9 I had taken her to the Doctors because of blood in her stool. I returned her to breeders. She is still being advertised with her sister for the same price I paid for her. Was advertised that she had her shots but when I got there they said they didn't get them yet. I received payment paid for her but not doctors fees. Feels like we lost another family member.

I found your site while looking for a puppy. It was very informative and helpful in making our choice. We researched breeders and checked on complaints with better business and other sources after three months of research. We decided it's time to purchase a Morkie. We went to Matthew ** in Gap Pa. Because of the weather, we had to wait two weeks before we could make the trip. Matthew was very understanding. We got our Mazie on March 1, 2014. Matthew and his family were very friendly and made sure we understood about the food and supplements. I called Matthew a few days later with some questions and he was very pleasant in helping me . When we took Mazie to the vet, she was very impressed with the care and the shots she already had. She told us to continue with the food and supplements. She said Mazie is very healthy and strong, she was one of the tiny ones. She was 2lbs 9 oz when we got her, she is now a whopping 5lb 6 oz. She's now 4 months.Thank you for your website and information that helped us make the right choice. She has changed our life for the best. Yes we realize down the road some health problems can arise but do you blame the breeder for things that they cannot control.

I bought my 8 week old Bishon on Thursday April 10,2014. And he was great for the first day. My kids noticed that he was as hyper like a puppies should be.. so I took him to Petco to get checked with the vet that they have .. and they said he is wheezing and to take him to the Animal hospital. They gave him fluids and antibiotic and said watch him for 10 days. I looked up the reviews and couldn't believe what I read.. He may even have long term issue that will cost me thousands of dollars. My kids are so sad..

How lucky YOU were. I didn't fare as well. I had a 2 1/2 year old Bichon who began with seizures, from what was thought to be a brain tumor. I spent THOUSANDS of dollars, MANY sleepless nights for more than six months, medications, traveling to emergency and neuro vets, and eventually learning how to administer her life saving meds (so her brain wouldn't "fry") just trying to save my sweet Abbykins. All to no avail. Sadly, I had to have her put down. It BROKE MY HEART. I didn't stop crying for 18 months. I, too, called Greenfield and wanted to let them know what happened to my sweet pup. I also contacted the breeder. And.... guess what??? No response. This just SHOULD NOT happen to a 2 1/2 year old pup. Buyers.... beware!!!

I purchased Dozer, an ACA registered boxer puppy from Abram in Gap PA on October 28, 2012. I paid $550 for the love of my life. He was a great puppy. Learned to ring a bell on the door to go out by 4 months and would sit, high five, speak and lay down by 5 months. He did very well in puppy school even though he thought he was there to play. Things suddenly went downhill at 5 1/2 months. He could no longer move his head and it took a long time to lie down. We took him to the vet who started him on Prednisone and pain killers. He did not get any better and the vet recommended to take him to Metropolitan Animal Hospital in Norristown.

In February 2011, we purchased an English Bulldog puppy we saw advertised on Greenfield Puppies. The picture was adorable. It continued to say in the ad he came from good bloodlines, blah, blah. Well, he did not. 2 yrs later, on Aug 4th of 2013, he dropped over dead. The vet believes it was a massive stroke or aneurysm. When we got to the place we bought him, the conditions were deplorable. The pups were in a barn, no heat (they turned the heat lamp on when we got there), sleeping in their own feces and urine, chewing on horseshoes, and were antisocial. And of course, it was an Amish farm. My instincts told me to go right back home, but my heart wouldnt let me.

I recently purchased 2 beagle puppies from Benjamin ** in Christiana, PA 2 days ago. When I brought them home, they were scratching like crazy, and I thought it was because they were sleeping on hay in a pen outside. Well, they were taken to the vet today; they have ear mites, an inner ear infection, a deep skin infection, and scabies. I paid $800 for the two dogs and now two days later, I have already paid $700 in vet bills and more to come. I knew it wasn't the best conditions where they were sleeping (outside, in a pen, next to horses and a quail), but this is ridiculous.

This place is nothing but a PUPPY MILL BROKER! Complete and utter disgusting business practice; dressing puppies up for a nice picture. Don't think about asking to see the parents of the puppies upon visiting. They are hiding them in unkempt barns in horrible conditions. Disgraceful and disgusting. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS "Business". When I called to express some concerns, the "Gentleman" who answered was short, had a severe tone, and was sarcastically rude.

These people (I use that term loosely) are nothing but brokers for horrible puppy mills! In case you don't know what puppy mills are, they are terrible breeding facilities where dogs are denied adequate exercise, veterinary care, food, etc. The dogs are kept in filthy cages on top of each other and are forced to breed over and over again. All the puppy mill breeders care about is money. They make their money off the suffering and abuse of innocent animals! Wake up and look for yourself.

I really, really wanted to believe that Greenfield Puppies was not a puppy mill. I did some research and convinced myself that not all breeders on the site were puppy mills. My husband and I drove all the way from Virginia to Pennsylvania to meet a little Bichon Frise puppy on Weaverland Road in East Earl, PA. What a mistake it was...

Seriously? You folks haven't realized these dogs are bred at puppy mills? Was the list of breeds and breeders not enough to give you a clue? Or maybe the fact that all the dogs are on Amish farms in Lancaster county? Wow. Thanks for keeping the breeder dogs in cages for their entire lives.

My husband and I are experienced dog trainers and owners. We were contacted about a six-month-old yellow Labrador that had been purchased through Greenfield Puppies. The owners knew very little about dogs and wanted to get rid of this puppy. We took him and immediately became aware of his good looks and normal energy for a six-month-old Labrador. Soon, we saw a lot of fear-based aggression and consulted with a professional dog trainer. We worked hard with him for six months, and after he bit two people we put him down. I believe this dog was bred for looks and not temperament. I discourage anyone from working with this broker.

We purchased a puppy that was listed on Greenfieldpuppies.com. We talked to our vet who suggested we google the breeder's name to see if any complaints registered to that specific individual came up. There was nothing that came up about the individual. We then traveled to visit the puppy and spent 20 minutes playing and questioning the breeder. We walked to the kennel that the mother and pups were housed in and got to interact with the mother and all the puppies. After careful consideration, we brought home a beautiful boxer. She has been to see our vet twice and has a clean bill of health. No worms, no ear mites, no fleas, nothing but an obsession with chewing (natural for the breed and a puppy). I think it is important that you as a buyer do your homework. Interaction prior to the purchase is important. There is so much you can learn about an animal if you spend more than a few minutes looking at the cuteness.

Update to my complaint on July 28, 2012 - On July 28, I posted a complaint with regard to the fact that I could not get return calls concerning a puppy I had purchased from a breeder on Greenfield Puppies. I would like to post that Greenfield Puppies has stepped up to the plate, as they said they would, and are standing by their 30-day guarantee. Their representative has been in constant contact with me and have agreed to pay the cost of the vet bills, equal to the cost of the dog, while pursuing to collect the money back from the breeder. I would like to retract my original opinion and say that Greenfield Puppies ended up being people that do look out for their clients. I can only hope that Greenfield Puppies will refrain from doing any future business with this breeder.

My Maltese pup was purchased through a breeder listed on Greenfield Puppies. The pup became lethargic and disoriented and was taken to the vet. The vet diagnosed pup as having a congenital defect called liver shunt. The only possible cure is thousands of dollars and no guarantee that it will work. I tried calling the breeder and only got an answering machine and no call back. I then called Greenfield Puppies and spoke with Neil **, who guaranteed me that they would honor the 30-day health guarantee. I am already hundreds of dollars into this pup, and not for everyday health shots, and I have only had the dog for three weeks. I still cannot get the breeder or Greenfield Puppies to return any of my calls since then. I had no problem contacting the breeder when he was selling. I now have a pup that has a congenital defect and it will cost thousands of dollars to save her. I would not recommend anyone purchasing a dog from this company. They are puppy mills and the agent does not stand behind the customer as they say they will, as in my case. If anyone wants the name of the breeder to stay away from, they can email me.

I wrote to these people twice after having major health issues with my Goldendoodle. The first complaint was about a major infestation of Giardia. The second was about a tumor on the dog's rib cage. I was supposed to have a two year health guarantee. These people are nothing, but a puppy mill. Buyer beware.

I have had many dealings with the breeders listed on Greenfield over the years, for myself and for friends. For the most part, the breeders are local farmers, often Amish, and the dogs they are breeding are just their own farm dogs or pets. These are not show dogs, they do not come from champion stock, but the families that I have dealt with have all cared about their dogs.

I purchased my Border Collie pup in Feb. 2012 from a breeder listed with Greenfield and I am very pleased. First, I have to tell you I am a professional dog handler (not a breeder) with 40 years experience and I am PA state licensed. The state has enacted laws to prevent the puppy mill activity of the past and I suggest you contact the state for PA dog law to read the laws. As a professional, AKC means nothing to me as I've seen multiple dogs over the years from so-called reputable breeders with many genetic health problems and many breeders (yes, even AKC) will still continue to breed despite that fact.

First, I want to say that I did get a puppy through a breeder who had listed on GFP. I had been recommended to the website by a friend who had two German shepherds. Their "no puppy mills guaranteed" statement put me at ease. As someone who had no experience with purebreds, I was unaware of many of the things you should look for in a breeder, but I did know a few things, such as to see the dog in person (never ever buy a puppy that's been shipped, no good breeder does that), demand to see the mother, to see where the dogs were kept, to make sure they were clean, well fed, and happy and active, and had shots and a real AKC registration. The breeder we met were Amish and were kind and had a clean house, clean well cared for dogs, and only had corgis on the premises (just one family and only one litter).

I was sold a chocolate lab in East Earl, PA. Price quoted was $595. Puppies had no vet exam at that time and the parent had no testing at all. I put a deposit on the puppy based on health exam and delivery of papers for pure breed conformation. I picked up the puppy. The vet was okay but there were no papers. I gave them a check to hold upon delivery of registration. On their website, puppies got reduced twice, $170 less. I called Greenfield and they said they wouldn't do anything about it. This company is selling puppies and wants no liability as to retail law. State of Pennsylvania should close them down for consumer protection.

I brought a Great Dane from James ** of Ephrata, PA. The dog is 3 years old now. When he was over 1, we noticed he was having issues walking. I had to take him to a neurologist and he was diagnosed with Wobbler syndrome. It was either a $7,000-$12,000 operation or put the dog on steroids. I had to choose the steroids treatment. I called Mr. **, no phone call back. Now, the dog has all kinds of problems due to the steroid treatment. I’m cleaning up diarrhea on my kitchen floor daily. And now, I have to make the decision to put him down. I contacted Greenfield Puppies. She acted stupid and said that they never heard of this disease. Beware of this breeder and website. It the three years, I have spent almost $10,000 in vet bills and treatments.

Puppy purchased is a Collie/Shetland sheepdog mix: In March 2011, I purchased a puppy from Daniel ** that was advertised as a Shetland Sheepdog. Mr. Daniel supplied an ACA certificate, listing his mother as Tracy Briton and Sparky as the father, both listed as Shetland Sheepdogs. When I took the puppy to the vet, I was told he was a rough collie but he could be part sheltie. I contacted GFP, gave them his weight and height, and they too felt he was not a shelty. I told GFP that I was pleased with the dog, beautiful, well-behaved and healthy, but concerned that Mr. Daniel sold me a puppy falsely advertised. I was given $50.00 from GFP.

I purchased a Chihuahua puppy through Greenfield puppies to later find out that it was not just a Chihuahua puppy but it was also a pug. I love my dog. There is no question there but she is not what I was expecting for what I paid. I contacted Greenfield and their response was, "Do you like your dog?" I said, "Of course." They responded, "Then, what’s the problem?" They told me they could not assist with my complaint. I wanted to know what breed the father was as it was not listed on the site.

I also purchased a puppy from this realtor. That's all Greenfield Puppies is. They advertise other people's puppies for them so they can sell them. I used common sense when buying my puppy. The complaint about John ** was the buyer's fault. If you paid attention and did your homework before you handed over your hard-earned money, then you'd have known better than to buy from him because he has too many puppies listed. He is like a backyard breeder and when they have that many, how can you honestly expect them to give the proper care?

We purchased a puppy advertised through Greenfield Puppies from John ***. When we went to look at the puppy, they were all infested with fleas. Upon returning to pick up our puppy, he still had fleas. Now come to find out when he was getting his surgery to get fixed, he coded. He has a heart condition which is hereditary and he could die and will need long term medication if he does live. The breeder John *** had these puppies in his barn with no heat next to two pigs! He sold the dogs under his son's name. He did agree to give us our money back but still has not! Since then, he has changed his phone number. Stay away from any *** selling puppies!

I bought a puppy from Mr. ** on 4/18. This puppy was advertized through Greenfield Puppies.Com. The puppy came with a health certificate dated 4/14, from the Smoketown Animal Hospital. It was supposed to have its first shots. I paid $600.00 for this puppy. The same day, the puppy began throwing up. The next day, he had bloody diarrhea. I took him to my vet, in Newton PA and he said that this dog was very sick and dehydrated. He felt that the dog may have parvo. My puppy was in the hospital for 2 days and was treated. The bills came to $586.74. I called Mr. ** and told him that I wanted to be reimbursed for the vet bills, under the puppy lemon in PA.
