Buyer Beware!
Puppies less than 1 year old are getting severe crippling GENETIC issues from here.
This breeder goes by many different names. After doing some research on this breeder, I now know why. They have multiple URLs and other puppy owners with similar bad experiences which you can find if you simply google the business phone numbers AND address from their site: 905 Private Rd 112 Elizabeth, Co 80107, 303-358-7959 and 303-646-4787. Just to name a few, which we found sadly after our bad experiance: www.coloradosfinestsportingdogs.com (Colorados Finest Sporting Dogs), www.smalldogs4you.com (Small Dogs 4 you), www.sportingdogs4you.com (Sporting Dogs 4 you), Willys Mountain View Kennels, and Colorados Finest Kennels and Ranch. I am sure there are others.
In my opinion most reputable breeders only breed one or two kinds of dogs. This one breeds Goldens (Golden Retrievers), Labs (Labradore Retrievers), Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bichon Fries, Maltipoos and potentially more here in Colorado.
Please make sure you do your research before buying a puppy, and avoid this place!
Once I started looking under the other names, I can see why they changed: Complaints and bad review on BBB (http://www.bbb.org/denver/business-reviews/animal-breeders/willys-country-kennels-in-elizabeth-co-90025560/complaints), bad reviews on some forums: http://www.yelp.com/biz/willys-mountain-view-kennels-elbert ; http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Willys-Mountain-View-Kennels/Elbert-Colorado/Willys-Mountain-View-Kennels-sportingdogs4youcom-Despicable-Dog-Breeder-Sick-Dirty-P-1146578 ; http://www.goldenretrieverforum.com/golden-retriever-health-anatomy-physiology-breed-standard/285401-willas-pain-2.html ; http://www.coloradowaterfowl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=171932&sid=57bdc927fc741bbc08808f305d0f9acb ; and many more. The ALARMING thing is it looks like MANY puppies have had hip dysplasia, which is a genetic disease that can be mostly prevented by certifying parents - no 1 year old puppy should EVER have issues. A good breeder will be able to provide these certificates and most put them on their website. I would be sure you see them before looking at a puppy - this breeder doesn't have them!! The other alarming thing is their contract requires you to purchase special Vitamins in order for you to hold them accountable to a “health guarantee.” My research on the special vitamins is not enough to prove they will prevent genetic diseases. Is seems as if it’s a MLM scam (they pay the breeder), and I found this website interesting: https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/nuvet-pet-supplement-snake-oil/ .
Their contract (located here: http://www.coloradosfinestsportingdogs.com/#!contract/c1weh) also has a non-disparagement clause - why would a reputable breeder need to prevent freedom of speach and reviews?
I would spend a little extra $$ and get a good puppy before you are stuck with thousands of $$ on dysplasia bills or worse yet, needing to put your pup to sleep.

I bought my lab from them a few months back and had a great expirence they let me walk the kennels and see how all the puppies were takin care of. And they certified my dogs hips so i dont understand where you are getting this information and some dogs do just have health problems from birth just like humans can. And no matter how much you pat for a dog is going to gaurntee its health... Kinda like buying a new car you take a risk
