March we purchased a puppy from this breeder, name at the time of purchase was Heath, in November I took him to a Shar-pei specialist due to his awkward gait. The doctors thru xrays, diagnosed that his hip sockets are not normal - they are flattened which basically he has nonexistent hip sockets. He is now walking pigeon toed with a severe limp. I have made numerous attempts to reach this breeder including emails with no response. His diagnosis is not promising he will need to be on pain medication and is currently showing signs of arthritis. He isn't able to take walks with his 2 canine brotthers and stairs are very difficult. During a recent vet visit we were told that his nostrils are to small without an opening and has difficulty breathing through his nose.
Colkim kennels claim that they are not a puppy mill and they are focused on the quality of their dogs and not the quantity. Laurel Colgate claims to have a vet degree comparable to a RN and their main goal is to produce healthy pups. We were told that we are getting a stunning pup with a clean bill of health, instead we got a stunning dog with a great temperate and severe disabilities. We love our dog Rango very much, but we are extremely unhappy with Colkim kennels for selling a puppy with these disabilities.
