Abe J Miller is a known PUPPY MILL breeder from Baltic, Ohio. dealing out of Quail Creek Kennels in Charm Ohio ... look it up!

I purchased a Shar Pei Beagle Mix Puppy from American Puppy/Breeders Club of America May 23, 2015 after falling in love with him in the store. They told me he was from a responsible breeder in Ohio and fed me a whole story about their ethical breeding practices. While in the store I noticed his left eye looked a little extra pink but they assured me it was nothing. A week and a half later, 3 vet visits and some very expensive vet bills. He developed cherry eye, turned eye infection turned prolasped eyelid in a matter of days. On top of that he had begun to cough and gag on a regular basis. The owner gave me an ultimatum to return the dog but I had decide by the next day. I went back and forth and cried like hell trying to figure out the right choice knowing this could be the beginning of a lifetime of expenses should this continue as it had begun. I opted to return the puppy even though it broke my heart and spent and hour and a half in the store crying and trying to weigh my options. She assured me that the puppy would be fine and they would get it the care it needed and would go back to the nice breeders from which it came and be with a family. Upon this assurance I reluctantly left the store and 9:30pm that evening. I woke up the next morning realizing I had made a mistake and called to say I would pick the puppy up and I wanted to take it no matter what. Beth told me the dog was no longer there and had been sent back to the breeder. I was floored and heartbroken that he could be just gone and on his way to Ohio so quickly. I said surely you must be able to track him, he has a chip...he is with your breeder.. it should be easy.. and I'd like to give him a home. She refused any of this saying she didn't have any information. Now how is this possible if you are running a business? How can you not have any information. My mother called a little while later to see if she could help and she was told he was at the vet getting surgery on his eye. (The first of many conflicting stories) This would go on for the next few days. A friend had a contact at the Humane Society Corporate office and she was kind enough to research the breeder to help me locate the dog.. Come to find out he has come from a man name Abe J Miller who is a known PUPPY MILL breeder from Baltic, Ohio. dealing out of Quail Creek Kennels in Charm Ohio. After 3 days calling every vet office in the Ohio area I was able to find someone who knew this breeder. Turns out he is Amish and without a telephone. (convenient) and the store is the only one who can actually tell me where the little guy has gone to and they have become increasingly hostile to deal with and absolutely refuse to help me find him. I am crushed! BUYER BEWARE!

BUYER BEWARE! (MIDDLETOWN, NJ)
Buyer beware

On April 4th I purchase a Golden Retriever for my daughter she has always
wanted one. I had the dog four days and now it's bleeding from her rectum.
American Puppy Club called me on Sunday to see how the dog was doing. When I
expressed my concerns the girl jumped down my throat and tried to blame me.
I explained to the female I had dog's my entire life and just to be on the
safe side I had a schedule appointment with my vet first thing in the morning.
The girl said fine and told me to call them back to let them know how my dog was
doing. I'm going to go in detail but the girl was pretty snotty and that's
putting it mildly.

It wasn't a few minutes later and now there is a new person
calling me from American Puppy Club I did not answer I was busy with my dog.
They called my partner and sucker her into returning the dog claiming they only
wanted to do right by us and this was the best thing for the dog. Alex one of
the many nasty ignorant idiot's working there advised my partner she had to
return the dog and sign a paper saying she return the dog for personal reason
and even though the sale price was $964.57 the paper said there was a credit of
$700.00. This is all twisted and distorted Alex told my partner the paper meant
nothing it is the only way they could help the dog and it was still our dog and
we would have the dog back in three days tops. They claim to see this all the
time and most likely it's parasite which did not make us feel any better.Each day
passed we would pray they would call us and say you can pick your puppy up.
But no one has called me I had to do all the calling.

My partner went to visit our dog everyday even took our daughter. finally five days into this and still
no dog and we our out over $900.00 we was told the poop came back clear but the
Vet wanted her held for a few more days. I called Thursday I had the pleasure of
speaking with Alex she wanted to use the contract against me but they took my
contract so you cannot use it against a consumer if they do not have it and the
company/puppy mill took it back. She called my partner names like a simple minded person
would. She said it was common sense we could have went to our Vet but tried to
again twist things and make it like we needed them and went begging for help
when that is far from the truth!. I demeaned to speak to the store Manager I was
told no! by Alex I advised her it is my right to speak with a Manager, She had
Terry get on the phone who is the dog trainer she lied and manipulated me by
telling me she was the store Manager and said there was nothing she could do. I
suggested she get my dog to the vet ASAP so I can take her home. She said they
was short staff that day but would have my dog seen by the vet tomorrow at 12:30
Friday and everything looked good.

We stopped there Thursday as a family to visit our dog and she looked so excited to see us.
My daughter was promised she would have her dog back the next day. I was promised I would
receive a phone call right after the vet appointment well needless to say we was lied to once
again I'm sure you see the pattern by now with these despicable ###!

We had to call them for answers as to the status of the Vet visit Stephanie called
me saying the dog was fine and poop can back clear there is no more bleeding
but she could not release our dog back to us because the dog now has a cold and
she had no idea how that happen.And now it was going to be next week sometime
before I would have my dog back. I hit the roof I said this is crazy and we had
our vet contact them saying we had a apartment for that day and we was willing
and able to care for our dog. They refused I called the Vet's office where my
dog was seen and was tipped off the dog was be treated for kennel cough which
was passed to my dog from there facility.

Needless to say we are still out our money and no dog. The toys are shared by all the dogs they are never cleaned. That would cause sickness to pass along from one pup to the next rather quickly and
easy. I feel sorry for the dog's they are the true victims here and I know you
here about stuff like this all the time. But if you search Complaints American
Puppy Club in Middletown NJ you will see how many family have fallen victim of
these MONSTERS! My partner went there Friday night warning other to RUN!
the cops came the officer even told them give them there dog or give them
there money! They refused! I hope this post helps someone else before they fall
victim APC (AKA A1 PUPPY) THEY OPEN UNDER there new name because Animal control
shut there ### down! I wish I knew all this before we went there.Now I feel like I need to rescue my poor dog out of there. • Location: MIDDLETOWN, NJ

Some so-called professional breeders get their puppies from other "breeders" and that includes puppy mills. Go to some of the other complaint sites and you'll see the "cat fights" that go on between these breeders...then google the breeders' sites ...you'll learn a lot about how that business works. You have to investigate the situation very well especially if you're gonna spend more than a little chump change for a puppy.

Lorvin's comment about excellent examples of breeds available at these places is true. Petland has better looking Bostons than almost any high falllutin Boston breeder is hawking... at least in my experience.

I find the place to be very clean, and the dogs to be beautiful examples of their breed.
The girls are helpful, and most if them are knowledgeable about what they are talking about. Only thing i didnt like, was you cant get the price for a puppy until you are ready to go home with it, and it seems like its lets make a deal...ok, i get there is room to breathe...but i did however notice the cards on the pups cages say where they came from. I went home and found out, these states that are on their cards that say where they came from have the highest numbers of puppy mills, especially Arkansas.
I also have never seen or recieved a phone call for when the $199.00 puppies come in.
I have since removed myself from their call list and email updates. I chose to go to a reputable breeder. The prices are about the same, and i feel like i have less of a chance to get my heart broken or to find my new puppy has health issues. One girl there said something that just didnt make any sense to me, so it was sort of a deal breaker as well. I am glad that there are people that have gone there and have had success welcoming their new puppy to their family...i just in my heart cant justify whats going on in there with the secrecy as far as pricing, health warranties, and where the dogs came from. I do however love the fact that they offer training with every pup. One other thing i didnt care for is i had a couple of questions after inquiring about a puppy, i spoke to a "manager"...it seemed she was giggling and paying attention to someone else while she was humoring me on the phone while i was expressing my concerns, i found it to be a bit rude...but thats me.
Puppies get you with their vulnerability and their pure cuteness, but you have to think long term, go to a breeder after you and your family have settled on a breed that fits your lifestyle. Also, just because you think a dog is cute doesnt mean its the breed for you. Do your homework on dog personalities. Thats how they end up in shelters which is why so many dogs get put down, they were a bad fit from the start.

I briefly worked here before quitting in disgust after a month. EVERY puppy in this place comes from a puppy mill. When I worked there I checked the names of the kennels on the puppies paperwork and then looked them up--every one is a notorious puppy mill. However, the owners give employees hours of lessons on how to lie to customers about where they come from. You kno whow when you ask the price of a puppy, the employee will say Well, let me go call the breeder and see if they ll come down at all? Then they go into the office? Yeah, they re not calling anyone. They have a minimum price they ll sell the puppy for and will generally quote the customer double that. They go stand in the office for a few minutes trying to decide how much they can get out of you. Puppies that have been there for several months without selling, and are starting to lose the cute factor are kept in the back, in cages barely big enough for them to turn around in. They only get to come out of these cages once a day for about ten minutes when the cage is cleaned. These are the puppies sold for $199. By this time, they re 6 or more months old and will have numerous problems--they ve never been properly socialized or handled so they will have tons of behavioral problems. They will also be impossible to housebreak after getting used to defecating in the same place they eat and sleep. The day I quit was the day I discovered something extremely disturbing...the owner went into his office and opened a locked door. Behind that door was a closet-sized room with rows of cages full of puppies. These were the puppies that were too obviously sick for sale. These puppies were locked away in this hidden room without even a light on...isolated, in total darkness, in a locked room ALL the time. It was a month before I even knew this room existed! After quitting I went on to become a vet tech at a local veterinary hospital. It was there that I really got to see how bad American Puppy Club is...at least two or three times a day we d have people coming in with sick puppies that they had just bought. APC is constantly selling unhealthy dogs. In the best cases, they had easily treatable kennel cough or worms. But then there were the ones with hip dysplasia...luxating patellas...the Boston terrier they had charged extra for, telling the new owners it was because the dog was already neutered. He wasn t. He had a condition called cryptoorchid, which required expensive surgery. And the worst was having to look in the face of the little kids as they were told their 8 week old brand new puppy had to be put to sleep because they had parvo. This is all because American Puppy Club gets their puppies from puppy mills and gets the health problems that go with that. PLEASE do not shop here. Please do not support the vicious cycle of abuse of puppy mill dogs. The owners will lie through their teeth to make you believe they don t buy from puppy mills, but I watched that truck come in full of puppies, and I saw the kennel names on their paperwork. Each and every one is from a puppy mill.

Please reconsider approaching this establishment for purchase before doing some research. Go research puppy mills and this will explain the horrific conditions that go with these stores and the parents of the puppies for sale as they get taken away too soon and they have a list of violations (they are “not” accredited with the BBB). American Puppy Club is even listed at ripoff website which have testimonials of past customers unfortunate experiences. They also try to take advantage of customers trying to charge 5 times the normal price unless one is prepared to haggle the price down. They are breeding for profit and do not care about their welfare. These puppies should not have to be put in this situation from over breeding while hundreds pets in shelters are in need of love and get killed every day

i would just like to say that i purchased a puppy there and i brought the puppy back to them when it was ill, they had me sign forms but even though i was distraught about what was going on with my puppy i read them and asked questions about what i didnt understand. they called me and i called them for updates on the puppy and even though it took almost 2 weeks to get my puppy back he was healthy at no expense to me and still is. i think a lot of the issues people have with them is because the people with the puppies, not the people that work there arent thinking clearly or paying attention. when you buy from a pet store you may have issues with the puppy but at least these people help and try to make right.
