FAQ

Do I need a Lancaster Puppies account? No — this scrapes public classifieds listings, no login required.

Why is price sometimes missing? Some sellers choose to hide the price on their listing ("Contact for price") — the Actor omits the field rather than fabricating a value.

Does the state filter mean the puppy is located exactly in that state? The State filter uses Lancaster Puppies' own "near me" proximity search, not a hard state match — this matches the site's own behavior. When a breed has plenty of nearby supply, most results are in or very near the selected state; when a breed/state combination has few local breeders, the site backfills with its wider (often Ohio/Pennsylvania-concentrated, where Lancaster Puppies has the deepest breeder base) inventory instead of returning few or no results, so a distant-state mix is possible and expected for less common breed/state pairings.
