Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I contacted WC Family Golden Retrievers in Hickory, North Carolina to inquire about puppies. I was simply inquiring and not ready to purchase. I was looking for a show dog, and wanted to see all documentation prior to sending money as I live in California and they are in North Carolina.

They refused to provide documentation of AKC registration, emailed me an application which did not have their name, address, or phone number, and called, texted, and emailed me numerous times. I told them I was not interested in sending them money or purchasing a dog from them since they couldn't provide me with the information I had requested - they began harassing me sending me multiple text messages, phone calls, and emails and began creating fake accounts to send me harassing emails.

This breeder is on both AKC and Puppy Find - but does not provide their real name and is using several different names. They are on Puppyfind and have many reviews - though several are written on the same days - so it is likely reviews written by them since anyone can go on there.

They claimed to have references of people they sold to in California, but refused to provide me with any names or contact info for other buyers. I had asked if they had a Facebook page or Website, which they did not. I am an AKC breeder (different breed) and this person goes on RipOff Report and writes me a bad review accusing me for not purchasing a puppy from them.

I provided them with my Vet's name, but did not fill out their application since their application was completely with NO NAME OR ADDRESS of the breeder. The ripoff report they wrote me came form AFGHANISTAN! This breeder is obviously a scammer. I contacted the Golden Retriever Club of North Carolina and was told that they had no record of WC Family Golden Retrievers and not to send them any money. 

I contacted Puppyfind and AKC and they said there was nothing they could do. Please do not purchase a dog from these people as this is a scam and they will harass you if you contact them and do not send them money.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS LADY IS TALKING ABOUT OTHER THAN SLANDERING ME FOR NO APPARENT REASONS

This breeder/lady that posted this on me, contacted me about purchasing a PUPPY of ours which she is a breeder of multipe breeds (GOOGLE HER NAME AND CONTACT INFO). When I realized it, I chose NOT to sell to her with seeing that she is most likely 98% - 99% a "Puppy Mill", for we do NOT selll to "PUPPY MILLS" in PROTECTING ALL OUR BABIES. The next thing you know she is writing crap on me on this website that is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE at all whatsoever. She is presenting Lies and False Alligations against me with making up just any story for wghich she does NOT even know us (Slandering somebody for NO Apparent Reason is a Crime) with assuming that I am the one that had written a complaint on here about her when in fact NOT. I never even heard of this website before until with her emailing me which was in my "SPAM" folder of her ststing that she is going to retaliate against me for what soembody had written on here about her with ASSUMING that is was me, when in fact NOT. So, with whomever reads what she has written against me, PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ BECAUSE THIS LADY IS ABSOLUTELY ONE CRAZY WOMAN AS YOU CAN SEE ON HERE. I have been Breeding Multiple Years and you know a "PUPPY MILL" when you see one and/or hear about one of THE RED FLAGS when presented to you. I am in "Excellent Standings" with AKC for you can contact them and ask how many dogs and litters that I represent each year with them. For I own 2 Breeding females and a breeding sire that is 2 years old that is actuallly for sale due to my cancer. I have had 2 litters of puppies since 2016. My dogs have their Health Clearances (which are on K9data's/OFA's website) which are Genetic Tested too. That was the only contact that I ever had with her, then this against me. She was given the K9data webite links of the puppy's parents. We offer a 1-7 Year Health Guarantee too on all our Puppies that we sell. Our Puppies are raised indoors and NEVER have contact with any "WOOD CHIPS" ever in their life times with creating LUNG issues on them at such a young age. Our Puppies are raised on Clean New Pro-Fleece Dog Bedding and Flannel Sheets with given the "BEST CARE" ever. Please Contact us for one of our Healthiest Puppies. You will be very Pleased that you did. :) May God Bless that woman for all her lies and slandering others.
