DacCoasta Goldens Claude and Shontil, Theodore Batel, Michael Batel and their shipper Fedexpetmovers.com.. BEWARE ---- BREEDER took our money on a purchase of one of their puppies --- SCAM --- NEVER delivered and their shipper wanted us to pay more money $799.00 before he could ship, Florence Alabama
if we didn't pay, he said the puppy would go to the pound. We told him to go back to breeder since this was not disclosed to us and we PAID IN FULL. (We have been taken) Breeder will not return call, has totally ignored use. We have all text messages which and paperwork on PAID IN FULL, FREE SHIPPING, ETC. Be careful, will be contacting States Attorney/Mayor of Florence; along with the Pinal County Sheriffs office. When I told shipper he said, wait let me see what I can do. Shipper wanted us to do a Walmart-to-Walmart money transfer, which is immediate cash for them. Which we were stupid to do when we paid for her. Further information on shipper We asked for his name via text because he wouldn't speak with us says his phone was cutting out. I have all documentation and the women he wanted us to give our debit card number too. Funny both individuals out of MD (Maryland) funny how the shipper operates out of Maryland; but went to Florence, AL to ship our puppy. Unfortunately, RED LIGHT when up when they wanted more money and wanted it ASAP. We trusted this breeder, look at their website what statement they make that they are NOT into breeding dogs for profit, right. Also the testimonies are FAKE, look at the baby in Paige's statement and then look at Kips the golden retriver comment; both the same baby. There is so much more..BEWARE. They sent us paperwork stating 30 day FUL REFUND IF NOT HAPPY OR within 72 HRS. I sent an email requesting refund be sent through Walmart-to-Walmart so we can get our cash back immediately. I asked that they notify us when complete. We have heard nothing whatsoever. We will keep looking for an English Cream Retriever; but will go to the breeder and not have puppy shipped.
I am writing to make you aware of a so go breeder in Florence, AL (DaCoasta Goldens), recently my husband and I lost our pup to severe HD and the cost for total hip replacement was out of our reach ($20K), so we decided to look for another pup and I was surfing the web and came across DaCoasta Goldens (www.(Dacoasta.com) the female pup named Chloe which is marked sold was supposed to be ours. We had a dialogue with the owners and exchanged text messages and had 1 conversation, yes only 1 about choosing a female puppy. We were sent paperwork and sent the money for her which included FREE shipping. Well, today, October 4th when we were to receive our girl at Sky Harbor Airport we received a text from the shipper only 4 hrs after being told by the breeder that she had been picked up at 10:00 am and on way to airport, you will need to send an additional $799.00 for insurance, we were like what, and this text came from the shipper Fedex-petmovers.com. We tried calling and unfortunately his phone would break up and then he would text us, he would not speak to us. I then placed numerous phone calls to DaCoasta Goldens owners, Claude and Shontil to find out what the heck was going on and after many, many calls no answers.
We are presently out of our money; but in the paperwork they sent us they give a FULL REFUND within the 30 days or 72 hrs., well we never received our girl, so I sent an email requesting this…Oh yes the shipper texted me and said if we don’t pay they (he) will take the pup to the pound and if anything happens to it not their fault. I said to him do not threaten us, he said then you need to send the money ASAP. He gave me information to contact his person to debit our account. I told him we would be contacting the Alabama States Attorney/Mayor of Florence, AL and authories here in AZ.
We then received another text to hold off on doing anything and see what they can work out with breeder, well no call or should I say text back. Tomorrow the States Attorney and the Mayor of Florence, AL will be notified and our local authorities here in AZ so they can contact the authorities in Florence, AL of fraudulently taking money from us with no intent to deliver our pup and possibly from other people or the worse case scenario scamming additional monies from them and then never receiving their puppy.
Our heart is sadden by such deceitful people, since we wanted a new pup since the passing of ours… I am posting this for others who may fall victim of such scams that take advantage of individuals.

Still have not heard the latest update from the Birmingham, AL police department. Have left messages but the officer has not returned by call. I asked him if he would have it broadcasted on the local news stations along with a photo this way someone may know this person and STOP them from ripping others off; but no response to my calls.
