[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always adopted from reputable breeders with registration and health clearances, so I've always been a little snobby about the Amish puppy farms.  But I now have a couple of friends that adopted wonderful healthy dogs from them, and I've been looking for a cavapoo for particular reasons and it seems like basically all of the cavapoos are from these Amish breeders in PA/OH.

Does anyone have any experience?  Any way to differentiate the better ones from the more sketchy ones?  (Or alternatively, anyplace else to get a cavapoo in driving distance in the next 6 months or so?)[/quote]

"Adopting" usually means from a rescue.  You're talking purchasing.

But how long ago did your friends get their dogs?  I have a friend who has a wonderful dog bought from an Amish puppy farm, he's truly been a great dog.  However it became clear at a certain age that he had hip dysplasia (despite being "clear").  Dog is about 7 now and grown quite limited in activity because of it.  Surgery is very expensive and no guarantee.[/quote]

These people do not breed responsibly, even if the dogs are housed and raised in reasonable conditions (which in most cases they are not - a quick Google search will show you how the Amish treat their animals).

Do not purchase a dog from these people.[/quote]
