Fantastic Experience - Five Stars!I recently purchased a Bichon Frise puppy from Paw Tale Puppies, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. My little furry friend has brought so much joy and love into my life; he truly is the best dog ever!Paw Tale Puppies provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff was knowledgeable, caring, and professional. They clearly care deeply about their puppies and ensure they go to loving homes.I feel incredibly blessed to have found Paw Tale Puppies and to have welcomed my new furry family member into my home. Thank you for everything! I highly recommend Paw Tale Puppies to anyone looking for a new furry companion. Five stars all the way!

Melvin Lapp is most definitely a Gold Standard Breeder! I have extraordinarily high expectations and he exceeded them. From the first phone call to the final adoption day, he has been a true professional. He thoroughly answered my questions and shared resources with me. His dogs and puppies are treated with love and expert care; they’re part of his lovely family too.Our 8 week old teddy bear grand-puppy, is AMAZING! She’s everything my 17 year old daughter hoped for in a fur baby! She’s beautiful, calm, well-mannered, cuddly, and smart. She loves to play, enjoys napping in her crate (already), and she’s very eager to learn and trains quickly. She also loves to stay clean!It’s obvious she was bred and socialized in a clean, loving, health conscious home. Thank you for breeding the sweetest, smartest, and most beautiful puppies ever Mel. When we picked our pup up, she smelled clean and fresh. In fact, all of the puppies and their mom were clean and fresh smelling. I’m allergic to perfumes, air fresheners, and dust so I appreciate the fact that their home is clean and the pups and animals are truly well taken care of and healthy. If you’re picky or particular like me and you want the best, call Melvin Lapp today!

The best experience I’ve had adopting a dog. We all know how intimidating, difficult, and traumatizing this process can be, but this breeder was nothing short of attentive and personable; a man of his word. Hard to come by honest and humble business folks nowadays, so I was pleasantly surprised. Also, my Felix was not kept outdoors in this cold, but rather in a very modern and open concept area with his family and other friends. He is healthy, friendly, energetic, and was happy which was important for me to observe. Melvin is who I encountered and he is excellent. I can’t recommend him enough. His calm and kind demeanor was all I could’ve asked for. Offered information I wouldn’t have known to inquire about even after having pups prior to Felix. I never had a Boston Terrier, so it was nice to learn about diet, temperament, and other nice tips that he organically shared. He is as genuine as they come! These pups are living a happy life and are safe which was one of my biggest concerns not knowing the breeder at first. I highly recommend PawTales to EVERYONE. What a smooth and joyful experience. Driving to PA from MD was a breeze even in this cold weather. Having someone accessible, understanding, and attentive who is not just doing this for the business was a delight. I could go on, but wanted to post this superb experience and share with anyone who is looking for a furbaby and is skeptical. This man and this business is beyond trustworthy and I feel very blessed to have this experience.

I recently purchased a Bichon Frisé from Melvin and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nathan is everything we hoped for and more. The facility was immaculate, and it was evident that the dogs were well-loved and socialized. I’m grateful to have found such a reputable and ethical breeder. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melvin to anyone in search of a healthy, well-adjusted companion. Thanks Melvin!!

We got our little bundle of joy today. He’s so sweet and adorable Mr Lapp was very friendly and helpful very concerned about our sweet pup he gave us food and supplements until we settled him in. It was definitely a blessing to have found pawtale puppies. We had lost our little one recently and were looking for another just to love on. And we found paw tale puppies. We will forever be grateful and do look forward to possibly getting another new addition in the future. Thank you so much Mr Lapp and paw tale puppies you were definitely a god sent

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of picking up our puppy, Farrah, from Melvin and his wonderful family. She is an amazing addition to the family! Healthy, happy, and she has so much personality. She is great around kids, other dogs, and just a joy to be around.The location we picked her up from was beautiful, clean, and you could tell how well the puppies were cared for. Melvin and his wife are both wonderful. Melvin took his time going over all of the paperwork associated with Farrah and gave us puppy food to help transition her to whatever food we chose to feed her. He made the whole process super simple and even held her for a few weeks for us to get down. He kept us appraised of her health and overall it was a wonderful experience! They are a lovely family and we are so happy to have Farrah.

We had a great experience with Melvin at Paw Tale Puppies! Melvin was very responsive, answered all our questions, and had all the paperwork ready when we arrived including vet records and ACA registration. We love our Bichon Frise Hans and he is a happy, healthy, puppy! Thanks Melvin!

I bought my puppy here, it's an adorable x-small Bichonpoo. The seller is very enthusiastic and friendly, he will provide you with all the certificates and information about the puppy. And the puppy is very healthy and lively. The seller will also inquire about the puppy's condition after a few weeks, very responsible. I hope you can find your beloved puppy here!

So, I had this great experience to share with everyone. I am usually not a review person but couldn’t resist myself from giving him 5stars and a genuine review.Melvin is honestly a very kind and generous person . We bought a cute little 8 weeks puppy from him as we were planning to get one. A very well trained I must say. The price was very reasonable, moreover the puppy was so adorable.But unfortunately we couldn’t keep him more than 2 days since my husband started having some allergic reactions. And when I asked Melvin, he didn’t hesitate even once to take him back. A responsible breeder will always bring their puppy back and make sure they always have a loving home. And he proved it.His hours of operations are very flexible.He would always be appreciated and recommended by me.Thank you Melvin

Easy to deal with a very lovely person. Business was clean could tell dogs were well cared for. After a couple of days called to check up on Happy to make sure she was doing well. If I was to get another puppy I would go back there again.

I saw Quebec on Greenfield puppies site and he looked just like our baby who passed away in Sept of 2023. I call Melvin that night and asked if I could come out to see him the next day and he agreed. Very polite over the phone. The facility he has his dogs in is brand new. The puppies were clean but what impressed me the most was that Quebecs mother was groomed and looked very well taken care of. He opened the door to the area where the dogs were kept and all his dogs I could see looked well fed and groomed. When I went to finally get our little Quebec, his wife greeted us. Gave us the paperwork, gave us a bag of puppy food as well as a supplement. She was very polite. The paperwork for Quebec was well detailed with his shots and even his temperment. I recommend him if anyone is looking to purchase a dog.

It was a wonderful experience to connect with Paw Tale Puppies. This was our first experience in owning a puppy and the level of support, communication, and flexibility made it a comfortable and rewarding one. I highly recommend them to others! Thank you Melvin!We love our new family member, Genesis. She was worth the 3 hour drive to get her.

Melvin and his wife Miriam were very nice to work with. We went to pick out our bichion in a Saturday, knowing we were leaving for vacation the next day. We gave a deposit and they agreed to keep him till we returned. We were very happy the way we were treated, the facility was very clean and we know all the dogs are very well taken care of.Our puppy’s name is Peanut, we decided to keep that name. He’s very well behaved and we tribute this to the way he was treated and taking care of when he was born. If you are looking for a bichion frise or a boston terrier, we highly recommend, Paw Tail Puppies.David & Tammy LucciLewistown Pennsylvania

We learned Lancaster Puppies from a friend, and met with Melvin Lapp. Our new puppy is a wonderful addition to our family. Melvin had all of the paperwork, and was very helpful and courteous. I can recommend him and his service without reservation.

Our family purchased a Teddy Bear puppy in June and we could not be happier. The breeder has contacted up a couple of times to see how things were going. We are absolutely in love with our little girl!

I got Zynder in July 2023. Working with Melvin Lapp was great. Melvin responded to my text immediately. We then spoke and Melvin was very informative, not only about the puppies but the parents. The farm was gorgeous, clean, neat, with healthy, happy dogs and puppies coming up to greet us. Melvin spent a lot of time discussing the puppies, what food to give them and as well as a supplement that is full of great nutrition. He had papers from the vet ready, as well as a 30 day guarantee. Zynder is a happy puppy who brings joy to me every day. I've already recommended Paw Tale Puppies to several people. I would do business with Melvin again.

The puppy is so adorable and cute! We drove 3.5 hrs to meet the baby and definitely worth the drive. We’re already thinking about getting another puppy from them soon :)

Could not be happier with my experience with Melvin Lapp. He was straight and to the point. He had all the necessary paperwork from the vet to prove the dogs were happy and healthy. He was more than fair with the price. His facility was clean and open. We were able to see the mom. He stayed in touch with us to make sure our pups transitioned well and that they continued to be happy and healthy. Overall Melvin provided us with a fantastic experience and we will happily recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants a golden retriever pup!

In June 2022, we purchased two female golden retriever puppies from Paw Tale in Lancaster county. Melvin Lapp was the breeder. The puppies (Honey & LuLu) were in good health. Fast forward one year later, both puppies are doing well. The two sisters love to run, dig, destroy stuff, and play with each other.So far, the crate training and over training has gone great.This is the first time we have raised this breed of dog. They need a lot of attention and they need something to keep them occupied.My wife loves to spoil these two fur babies. Chewy boxes with a lot of chew treats arrive monthly. And a lot of trips to TJ Max for dog toys.Theses two girls are beautiful, well behave, loving puppies.I highly recommend purchasing your next puppy from Melvin.

We are so grateful for our new addition to our family. Marjorie is such a sweet and loving girl. She is very playful and energetic. Marjorie is also a great companion for our other Boston Terrier dog Homer. Both Homer and Marge are very happy together!Melvin was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Melvin is very thoughtful and he even checks on how Marjorie is doing. Thank you so much for everything Melvin!

Melvin was wonderful to work with and we are so in love with our new pup! He answered all our questions and we feel comfortable in reaching out to him in the future with any questions. Honey is well behaved and even seems to be crate and outdoor potty trained already! Highly recommend and I know where to turn when we are ready for another little pup. Thank you Melvin, it was a pleasure meeting you and Honey is has been a pleasure! She’s already Queen of the castle!

We just got a puppy from Melvin & we love her! She is so spoiled already. The whole process went smoothly from messaging about the puppies to the day of pick up. I would highly recommend anyone to him and his puppies are super cute and well taken care of! :)

I highly recommend Paw Tale Puppies if you want to ensure you are adopting your puppy from a knowledgeable, healthy, loving home. Melvin Lapp and his family raised my tiny, adorable, spunky little Queen so I could bring home a friendly, cuddly, hilarious, and smart little girl. The communication and adoption process were seamless, and I know Melvin will be available for further questions. He and his family truly only want the best for their puppies and new families. Thank you Paw Tale Puppies!!!
