Do not use this company. See Better Business Bureau Mixed up my puppy with another customer. Had to drive and meet them half way and switch dogs with them. My Puppy had a physical exam which was inaccurate and abnormalities were found by my vet. AKC stated that puppy is not pure bred.

Terrible company that does not properly vet their breeders. I received a puppy that tested positive for an intestinal parasite and most likely lice. One other thing is getting Puppy Spot to respond to a question is laughable. I do not recommend Puppy Spot to anyone.

As a breeder who has had transactions with Puppyspot, I have to say I believe their heart is in the right place but they are an organizational train-wreck. My last several placements with them fell through. On two of them, they never let me know. In one situation, I had already gotten the veterinary health exam, submitted all the documentation and dropped the puppy off at the airport for her flight (the airport is a 2 hour drive for me). Then, they called and told me the puppy wasn't yet cleared for travel (although they had made the flight reservation) and I needed to go back and retrieve her. In other situations, the travel department doesn't let the breeders know of flight reservations until less than a full day before the flight. This makes it very difficult to make the necessary arrangements to transport the puppy to the airport and/or make arrangements for someone to care for dogs and puppies in my absence. It seems the "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". On a health guarantee claim, they (in my opinion) did not provide all testing documentation and withheld the one document which indicated the problem was not a genetic issue, but due to the new owner not detecting a UTI months after placement. Again, I believe Puppyspot is a good concept. However, they are incredibly unorganized and have some definite growth areas. Although I can get a higher payment from my PuppySpot puppies, it just isn't worth the hassle. They appear to quickly be becoming a dumping ground for puppies of substandard breeders. No special recognition is given on their website to breeders who perform all recommended health tests for their breed or for those who title their dogs in anything but a conformation venue. I had hoped new management might inspire some noticeable improvements. But, from a breeder aspect, it's difficult for a responsible breeder to do business with Puppyspot. Until they "up their game", they'll be left to market substandard puppies from substandard breeders.

Our dog arrived with not one but two parasites. He had very little hair due to malnourishment and was just in horrible condition overall. Veterinarian told us he is 100% certain the dog came from a puppy mill and not a reputable breeder (another veterinarian later gave us the same opinion). We later found out that the "breeder" sells more than 15 different breeds which is a telltale sign of a puppy mill (also located in Missouri which is mill central). It took us a month of antibiotics to clear our puppy of the parasites. The conditions these dogs are kept in are appalling. Avoid at all costs -- they will claim they absolutely do not work with puppy mills but it's very clear that's a lie.

We got two australian shepherd from the same breeder at different times.... the first pup has congenital problems on her leg. She had surgery and will probably limp for a long while. The other pup, they didnt ship it and they didnt even told us that he wasnt on the plane! I drove several hours and had to do another trip to pick him up. This is the id 604014 of the second pup. Terrible experience. I genuinely thought puppyspot supervised better. The second pup also has behavior problems like he was hurt.

inconsistent information and took forever to have the third party contact me about the AKC Reunite. Carolina Joseph is the ONLY one from Puppy Spot that I can compliment,

They were slow, never got back to me, and didn’t give any updates. Never use puppyspot.

We when had to choose transportation for our puppy we chose ground over air because we have used ground transport twice before (independent company) and were very happy with the company we had used. I had to confirm my travel date which was for October the 23rd. Took off of work that day to be home, date changed to the 24th once again took off of work to be home that day. Needless to say he was finally delivered on October the 26th and not even to my home. My mother purchased a puppy the same day I did and he was delivered at her house in the middle of the night so he didn’t have to stay in a kennel another night/day on transport. I called the transport company on the 26th to see if I could get an approximate time he would be delivered to us (since I had taken off of work for 3 days) and they had the driver call me. The driver then told me he wouldn’t make it on the 26th because he was 10 hours away from us and he would have to stop and sleep before he could make it this far. I’m leaving this review because 1. I was lied to when I was given details on transport. I was told there are always two people on ground transport. They rotate driving/sleeping and taking care of dogs. 2. My puppy wasn’t walked for nearly 4 days. I wasn’t told puppies under 23 weeks are not walked or I would have chosen air transport. These large breed puppies have to have proper exercise. Without proper exercise their pasterns become weak and they become flat footed. Have you ever seen a flat footed dog? I dealt with that for a week now we have another front leg issue going on. I paid $800 for transport and it was the most horrible experience for me and my puppy. I’m left with the vet bills. The breeder is very sweet and is very concerned with the legs, puppy spot on the other hand? Have not heard a word from them. I took my puppy in on Monday (he was delivered middle of the night Saturday) to have my health paper filled out. My veterinarian listed upon examination he is very thin, and weak pasterns. That was sent in the same day. Puppy spot has yet to follow up.
