I purchased an 8 week old golden retriever puppy from “the Bowman family” using this website. The animal I received tested positive for parvo within days and delt with parasites for months after we paid thousands to save his life. Now he is about 9 months old and has both hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. They agreed to pay me back the cost of the animal, but nothing will make up for time lost and emotional toll of this ordeal. This website supports unethical breeders and if you purchase an animal from them, you are supporting that. I deeply regret ever having heard of these people.

We are truly sorry for what your family experienced. We wouldn't wish an outcome like this on anyone. When concerns like this arise, we carefully review the veterinary documentation, apply our written health guarantee based on the veterinary documentation provided, and follow through on our commitments. In this case, after reviewing the veterinary documentation, we refunded the full purchase price in accordance with that guarantee. For context, no other littermates or dogs at the breeder have ever developed signs of or tested positive for parvo. We'd also welcome the chance to review any documentation related to your puppy's hip and elbow development, as this is something we take seriously and want to understand fully. We understand that a refund cannot undo your family's experience, and we respect your right to share it.
