I bought a puppy from this person. She assured me that she had done specific tests onf the parents of the puppy like hip xrays, etc. When I asked for proof after I bought the puppy, she get putting me off. She put me off for over 6 months, giving me various excuses but always telling me she would provide me the information. After about 9 months, she never provided me the information.
Interestingly, my puppy was diagnosed even before age 1 of luxating patella. A specialist wanted to charge me 4000$ to correct this knee condition (she had it in both knees.)
I also ended up finding out from an organization called Blue Sterling. They keep track of reputable breeders of goldendooldes. They initially recommended her until Ann put them off when they kept asking for tests results of her dogs she breeds. They also got contacted by someone else who said she never provided them with this information. Needless to say, Blue Sterling is no longer recommending Ann. Here's her email to me:
Hi Denise,
I am so sorry to hear about your poor little Dood and her medical problems. I guarantee you I will never recommend Ann. I also was misled by her. She comes across as an ethical person and it was surprising to hear that she didn't provide test scores for her dogs. When someone wrote in to say they never could get a copy of the test results from her, I called her and asked her about it. Ann said she had them, and was going to mail them to me. At that point I was becoming sceptical, so I asked her to scan them and email them, as it was faster. I got a lot of yadayada, and never did receive copies of those tests.
I am guessing that this lady is unscrupulous and doesn't care if she is selling sick animals and puppies of dogs who haven't been tested. Plus, she's charging over 800$ for the puppies.
