Buying puppies from Amish breeders can be a mixed bag.

Here are some points to consider…

• Breeding Practices – Some Amish breeders may prioritize quantity over quality, leading to concerns about health and socialization. It’s crucial to research the breeder’s practices.
• Health Testing –Ensure that the puppies’ parents have undergone appropriate health testing for breed-specific issues.
• Living Conditions – Visit the breeding facility to assess the living conditions of the puppies. They should be clean, and safe, and provide adequate space and socialization.
• Socialization – Puppies should be well-socialized and exposed to different environments and people.
• References – Ask for references from previous buyers and check their experiences.
• Documentation – Ensure you receive proper documentation for health checks and registration.
• Ethical Considerations – Be aware that some Amish puppy mills may operate under less humane conditions, so do your due diligence.

Focus on the specific breeder rather than the Amish label, and make sure you’re comfortable with their practices before making a decision.
