American Breeders

This store sells sick animals purchased from puppy/​kitten mills. The owner was arrested for 2 counts of animal cruelty. Patrick Doyle performed operations on sick dogs and let other animals die instead of giving them medical attention. Please do not support this– adopt, don’t shop!

I purchased my Yorkie from this store 11 years ago. At that time social media was not as popular as it is now. If I could have I would have had this store shut down. My dog was only 8 weeks when I bought her which means she was taken from her mother too early. She was tiny, underweight, sick and lethargic. The store gave me antibiotics they had given her to take home with me. When I got her home she fell asleep on my lap with her belly facing up. Her abdomen was moving. She had diarrhea. I took her to my vet which I did not know was the vet who checked the animals at this store. My vet was furious that I was sold this puppy. She had worms and a stomach virus. The antibiotics they gave her were too strong for her and made her sick. They also were not the right antibiotics. Mr. Doyle is not allowed to prescribe medication. I was also told that he took the animals that didn’t sell out back and shot them. My vet had me take the $ 400 vet bill to Mr. Doyle to get reimbursed. He did give me the money. I no longer live in NY. I am saddened to see he has opened other stores in the area and CT. I fail to realize how this man has not been shut down. He should be no where near animals.

Shut them down! Puppy mill dogs that are unhealthy and living in deplorable conditions at this store.

Would love to leave negative stars…
Do not support this business– don’t even buy an accessory. This man is exploiting the animals and keeping them in unsanitary cruel conditions. The dogs are in filthy neglected condition and a few seem to be ill. Chances are a puppy from this store will need much expensive veterinary care.
As per the above photos (not mine– but I can verify that they are accurate representations of the conditions), they haven’t cleaned up their act as of 12÷26÷15. They have a bully with some eye ailments, other dogs jumping around excitedly in their own feces and a listless dog who didn’t respond to people trying to pet it lying in a puddle of urine.
I walked through the store to satisfy my curiosity. I had heard negative things, but I never believe the hype until I’ve checked it out myself.
The allegations regarding the owner and cruelty charges are most likely true and that makes me very sad for these animals. I don’t understand how a human being can be so cruel and thoughtless. If you want to make a profit being a sleaze ball that’s okay– but please leave the beings who can’t advocate for themselves out of it.

FUCK YOU DOYLE I HOPE YOU ROT IN JAIL YOURE A PEICE OF ACTUAL SHIT. The owner of this store is a money hungry bullshit artist. He lies and lies and lies. Doesn’t care about the dogs at all or what homes their going to. He gets all of his dogs from puppy mills. I urge everyone even considering to get a dog from here to think again. He has three animal cruelty charges yet he was still running a pet store… I would love for all those dogs in there to have loving homes but to make such an evil person richer is not worth it. He calls on the people that review is store «crazy animal rights activists «oh yeah totally… Cause it takes an animals rights activist to see what you’re doing is wrong. 99% of all dogs in pet stores come from puppy mills regardless of what papers mr Doyle offers to show you. If you buy a dog you’re buying into an inhuman evil business that needs to end. He told me on the phone after I said he had terrible reviews on his store that he has sold dogs to famous people like omg lol r u kidding me. I hope this man rots in hell and a loving compassionate person who really invest their time into the well being of these puppies looking for homes takes over. Please if you see this man spit in his face.

Do NOT buy a puppy or anything else from this store. I was going to buy a Pomeranian but ended up passing Bc of a bad feeling I had. A few days later I bought a Pom from a different store, and ironically when I took him to the vet, I met the woman who purchased that same Pom from American Breeders. The puppy was very sick, she was at the vet everyday and wasn’t sure if the puppy would survive. It has become common knowledge around this area that the owner has been arrested for selling sick puppies illegally. I’ve also read and heard about several cases of people who bought sick puppies without any compensation or response from the owner. The puppy store smells horrible and it is basically like a puppy mill. I purchased a gate for my dog from this store however it was the wrong one. So I went there to return it with my receipt and the gate in brand new condition, but he wouldn’t give me a refund. Nowhere in the store does it say «No refunds or exchanges,» nor does it say it on the receipt nor do the teenage employees tell you their return policy. When I told the owner that he already has several bad reviews regarding his business his response was «f*** you, write another one. I’ll see you in small claims court.» He also lied and said a sign was posted but he didn’t know what happened to it. In addition, he implied that if I bought a puppy from him he would give me a refund. This guy is a dirtbag and his stores should be shut down. Even the local vet spoke very negatively about this man and his puppy mill. After arguing for a while and saying I would not leave without a refund he offered an exchange. However, he was extremely disrespectful, unprofessional and unethical. Thank God people from the community go in to play with the puppies bc they are getting some love. In closing, my strong suggestion would be to avoid this store at all costs unless you are going to give ghe puppies some attention.

American breeders puppy review
We purchased our puppy from American breeders in Mohegan lake 3 weeks ago he is a King Charles caviler he is 3 months old we paid $ 1400 dollars for our new pet as we left the store we were told the puppy was in perfect health, he did cough a few times but we were told not to worry it was nothing. after taking our puppy home we noticed his cough had gotten worse over the next day. that morning we went to the local vet who informed us that not only was our puppy very sick with kennel cough, pneumonia he also had parasites as well, the vet told us we were sold a sick puppy, we then went back to the store to inform them of this to no avail we have been trying to contact the store for the past 3 weeks now. finally today 3 weeks later the owner called us, not only was he nasty to my wife on the phone, he basically told her there was nothing he could or would do for us it was our problem now we had paid for the dog, basically we were told shag off he doesn’t care since we bought the puppy. we have never been treated so rudely in our life’s, in this manner my wife was totally shocked at the way we have been treated, American breeders is not a nice store to buy any pets from I would never recommend them to anyone this is by far the worst I have ever seen. stay away from this store they have a few branches as well don’t know what the other ones are like both judging by the way the owner treated us I can only imagine the rest are not much better. both with the expenses and the mental trauma you have put both me and my family through. thank you Rick for your phone call and the way you have treated both me my wife and our new puppy whose name by the way is Charlie. TAKE OUR ADVICE DO NOT BUY FROM AMERICAN BREEDERS.
