Mennonite, Ohio almost certainly a puppy mill. Do not buy. |
Yes, we can meet the mom |
Walk talking to a breeder recently and he said they only breed each mom 3x. They are AKC registered I couldn’t bare to ask what happens when they can’t be bread anymore. |
They probably keep her as a house pet or adopt her out to a family? People love pure breeds. |

FWIW my grandma was a registered breeder and she only bred her female dog one or two times each, she just had 5 or 10 year gaps between litters. The moms were just family pets. But she was a hobby breeder and she always lost money on it. |
Huge red flag. No facility, breeding only 1-2 dogs at a time, dogs live in house with breeder, and no staff, just family taking care of dogs was my criteria. We used this breeder and she was wonderful, purebreed with AKC papers. https://itsahavaneseworld.com |
Each mom, how many moms? Are they offering you AKC papers? |
You had your answer at “Mennonite”. They, and the Amish, are big puppy mill operators. |
NP. Do you think all Amish and mennonites run the same operations? Or is that making a sweeping generalization? |
They either sell them, give them to "rescues" for sale or keep them. |
Most of them are big breeding facilities, not personal at all. You want to get one AKC registered. |
One a year is fine. Do they have AKC paperwork? |
It’s not. |
Well that sounds like a legitimate breeder—which means dams are likely adopted out. |
