I will start with the fact that all previous reviews were removed and it’s odd suddenly there are only positive reviews. This breeder has been around for years but the oldest review is 4 months old? Don’t trust that.
We got our dog from this breeder 3 years ago and it appeared to be business as normal. We purchased our dog as a simple family pet and assumed they knew what they were doing. After approximately 1 year we noticed our beautiful golden retriever was struggling to walk or even get on the couch. We took her to the veterinarian where we learned she had hip dysplasia, due to improper breeding.
We absolutely love our dog, her temperament and personality are second to none so we thought we would do the right thing and just let the breeder know she was breeding dogs with this issue, with hopes she would look into it and do the right thing. Couldn’t have been more wrong.
We were initially met with resistance, claiming it couldn’t have been her breeding practices. Upon providing medical records, her tune changed and we were offered “another dog”. Again, we love our dog and refused.
In response to the refusal, the breeders became upset and called and text multiple times. I was informed these claims “hurt there business” and they were already struggling, to the point they “couldn’t feed the dogs they had”. I informed the breeder I would be letting the AKC know of thee claims and she again became upset.
The response to all of this was to call the police and make false claims about the veterinarian and myself, all of which were unfounded and borderline harassment. Once she was informed of this, her reviews were removed, only to now be restored with only positive comments.
This breeder makes false claims about her breeding process and when questioned does her best to slander the customer. Do yourself a favor and get your Golden Retriever from an actual, reputable Breeder.
