Our Family at Maple Springs Farm Maple Springs Farm is a small working farm situated in the dairy country of north-central Pennsylvania. Nestled amongst the Armenia mountain range, the water and air are fresh and pure, offering an ideal area to produce our quality products. These products include maple syrup, handmade soap, custom embroidery, limited edition art prints, emu oil, shoo-fly pies and I'm probably forgetting something. Our main crop on our farm is the Christmas Tree. We grow a variety of Christmas trees, but our favorite is the Douglas Fir. No wait, it's the Blue Spruce. As you can tell, we like them all! We also have a pretty big blueberry patch. Also, we have an orchard full of fruit trees. Please see our Maple Springs Country Farm Cookbook for a list of recipes for farm fresh fruit. The main theme of our farm is "fresh." Our mission is to provide the highest quality products at a fair price. Our family's heritage is born out of German and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.

You have heard about puppy mills and know they are bad. But what you don’t know is how to make sure you don’t accidentally buy from one. Here are 10 signs to help you determine if the puppy you are looking at is from a puppy mill or not. You really should just stay away from pet stores when buying a puppy. Be especially worried if those puppies are coming from out-of-state, particularly Midwest states (Missouri and Illinois are two of the biggest). If the breeder cannot let you meet the parents, you should walk away. Not meeting the parents is like buying a car without knowing the make. For all you know, these people did not even breed the puppy, but are selling him secondhand for unknown reasons. If you call a breeder and they say “let’s meet somewhere” when you ask to visit their kennel, it’s a puppy mill.

Usually they will try to get you to meet in a store parking lot or a park. Unless there are extreme circumstances, there is no reason why should not see where your puppy was born. Reputable breeders focus on one breed, maybe two, MAX. If you find a site offering five different breeds (and their mixes!), it’s a puppy mill. When you call the breeder and ask if they have puppies, do they respond with “I have one litter coming, but there is already a waiting list” or “oh yes, I have 3 litters on the ground and 2 more on the way”? If the breeder has 30 puppies, that is definitely a puppy mill. Puppy mills don’t like to spend money, it deters from profits. So the parents may not be vaccinated (you should ask!) and the puppies probably are not. Or, conversely, they have so many puppies they lost track and your pup got vaccinated twice. Dr. Kathryn Primm DVM, owner and chief veterinarian of Applebrook Animal Hospital, says to be wary about the breeder promising a certain size, temperament, or characteristic that seems extreme.

For example, a dog came into her clinic that was supposed to be a Pomeranian and Husky mix that the breeder had promised would never grow lover than 7 pounds. She was 42 pounds. This goes for the dog and the breeder’s home or kennel. Dr. Primm says puppies from puppy mills are more likely to smell like a kennel and have poor coat quality. Your breeder should care enough about what happens to the puppy that she has a contract protecting both you and her. Reputable breeders have a spay/neuter agreement, breed papers, health contract, and a request that you return the dog to them if it doesn’t work out (rather than dumping him at the shelter). Another way they can cut their costs is by giving you the puppy early, because they do not have to feed them, give them shots, etc. Question any breeder wanting to give you the puppy before they are eight weeks old. This is the minimum age you should be taking a puppy from their mother and litter-mates. Our kennel is owned and operated in the same manner, as our award winning winery has for the past 33 years.
