sometimes $3000 and sometimes far more. I saw Berndoodles on there for $4500 and these are not trained, they are just peeing and pooping,chewing pups.

Because there apparently are enough idiots out there who buy from them. Unfortunate.

Because that is what the market - people who want a specialty dog regardless of the cost to their wallet or the animals that suffer in puppy mills - will bear.

This organization is barely above the puppy mill standard, at best, or is a disguised puppy mill, at worse. It does not say a word about where the puppies actually live and does not guarantee the parents and grandparents' health. The prices are as high as the ones requested by dedicated breed-lovers who house their dogs in their own homes, because this organization needs to portray themselves as a legitimate concern, and low prices would immediately raise a red flag. People are easily taken in by savvy marketing and don't bother to educate themselves on what really best for the dog: - The puppy should be born in the owner's house, with his mother in close attendance for at least 7-8 weeks, and socialized from day 1 with safe dogs and humans. No kennels. - The parents and grandparents, at minimum (the best breeders can go as far back as 5 generations) are known by the owner and followed throughout their lives for genetic diseases and personality issues, to breed only the healthiest and most personable among them. This organization only talks about puppy health and vaccinations, which only means that for the first 7-12 weeks of their lives, no diseases appeared. And since hip dysplasia and other scourges become visible later in life, that "health guarantee" means NOTHING.

Trained dogs are not more expensive than untrained puppies, OP. Knowledgeable dog buyers always buy puppies (either before or during the fear period, so anytime from 8 to 12 weeks) because they want to train them themselves to get the best fit for their particular lifestyle. It's not all about elimination training. It's about exposing a puppy of that age to any environmental stimuli that they are likely to encounter when they live with you (not a farm in the midwest or a megalopolis in asia), and teaching commands that are yours, with your words and your specifics.

What about their guarantee against puppy mills? https://www.puppyspot.com/promise/

Anonymous wrote:What about their guarantee against puppy mills? https://www.puppyspot.com/promise/ It's completely empty. Are you going to believe them without proof? The standards they speak of are so low as to be useless when choosing an animal companion. They make no representation about the parents' health or the socialization of the puppies, and that is what is most important.

OP here. I did some digging and found out that the company changes name every few years in order to escape the bad reviews which build up. I found a review page which had more than 20 very damning reviews about dogs arriving with infected ears, giardia and worms. Others needing $7000 hip surgery and a few heart-breaking stories about puppies who died within 12-24 months of arrival.

Anonymous wrote:Are they those wholesome Amish folks? OMG. That's "wholesome," right? I am from an area where there is a large Amish population. They come to farmer's markets and sell companion animals (puppies and kittens) in a relatively poor, rural area where shelters are already overcrowded. I shudder to think about the pets that don't sell. The puppies I have seen on display are lethargic and had bloated bellies indicating worms. They are not any different than anybody else. They still trade in cash, many have jobs in the outside world. It's so, so not what you imagine.
