Yes. MyPuppies.co is a legitimate puppy marketplace that connects families with vetted, ethical breeders. We understand why you're asking - the internet is full of puppy scams, and being cautious is smart. Here's exactly how we work and why families trust us.
How We Vet Breeders
Not every breeder gets listed on MyPuppies.co. We have a screening process designed to protect buyers:
What we check:
- Parents are health-tested with documentation
- Puppies receive veterinary care and vaccinations before going home
- A written health guarantee is available on request
- Puppies are socialized from birth
- The breeder has a track record of happy families
What we reject:
- Puppy mills and operations that mistreat their dogs
- Breeders who won't allow visits
- No health testing
Real Reviews from Real Families
Our featured breeder, Hess Family Beautiful Puppies in Russell, MA, has a 5.0 rating across 140+ Google reviews.
Common themes in the reviews:
- “The in-home training program was incredible”
- “We got to meet the parents and see where the puppies are raised”
- “Ron was transparent about everything”
- “Our puppy was already socialized and well-adjusted from day one”
How to Protect Yourself from Puppy Scams
Whether you buy from MyPuppies.co or anywhere else, here are red flags to watch for:
- They won't let you visit. A legitimate breeder is happy to show you their home and introduce you to the parent dogs. If someone insists on shipping only, walk away.
- The price is suspiciously low. If a Goldendoodle or Bernedoodle is listed under $1,500, something is wrong. Ethical breeding costs money - health testing, vet care, quality food, and proper socialization all cost the breeder thousands.
- Pressure to pay quickly. Scammers create urgency. A real breeder wants the right match, not a fast transaction.
- No health guarantee on request. A reputable breeder will provide a written health guarantee if you ask. If they refuse, walk away.
- Stock photos or stolen images. Reverse image search any puppy photos. Scammers steal photos from real breeders.
What Makes MyPuppies.co Different
MyPuppies.co stands out because they go beyond what many platforms offer:
- In-home training with Sarah - Your puppy can come home already crate trained, started on potty training, and knowing basic commands.
- Family-raised - Puppies grow up around their family with daily handling and socialization
- Health guarantee on every puppy
Visit Before You Buy
We encourage every family to visit a breeder in person before committing. Meet the puppies, meet the parents, see the environment. That's the best protection against scams, and it's exactly how MyPuppies.co breeders operate.
