I do not have direct contact with Posh Puppies but I do have documentation from the rescue group who purchased my Cavalier King Charles spaniel from Ashley Ryman and Posh Puppies. He was placed at auction in August 2020 after he was no longer needed as breeding stock to make Cavachon puppies. He had the minimum of vaccines which were required by law , rabies . I have the documentation signed by Ms. Ryman and the vet she took him to for this shot. After the rescue group was able procure him and bring him back to Arizona, a vet check showed he had severe ear infections and a grade 3 out of four luxating patella. He had not been socialized with people. He was fearful to certain movements such as reaching over his head. He did not know how to play or chew on treats and was not house trained. He does not process chicken and therefore is now on an alternative protein source dog food. Posh Puppies is a for profit dog breeding business otherwise known as a puppy mill . A true dog breeder breeds one specific breed of dog and does the required testing for genetic disorders specific to the breed. A certified dog breeder would never send a dog to an auction and will have a return policy for the dog to be given back to them at anytime in their life. I understand the need sometimes to know size, temperament, etc., but buying from a puppy mill only perpetuates the problem. It will cost you more with a true breeder but you will get a dog that shouldn’t have health and genetic disorders. Posh puppies prices are indicative of a mill. The current price for a Cavalier King Charles spaniel from a certified breeder is around $5,000. Posh puppies is charging $1,450-$1,650. A puppy from a mill is considered “livestock” and regulated by the USDA. The regulations require food, water and shelter. That is all these dogs get. Please be aware of what you are perpetuating when you make a purchase from a business like this.
