Randall Ridge Kennel review: Unhealthy dog 6

I humbly disagree that one or even the occasional pup should not cause concern. A dog with all the health and physical issues as mine is definite cause for concern. There is obviously a problem breeding these two dogs together. These two dogs may be fine being bred with different dogs. My dog's issues are so severe and numerous that I feel very strongly that these two dogs should not be bred together again. Why take the chance it will possibly happen again. I just wanted to put this out there so if someone is researching, they will all least know that there have been issues. They did not have any testimonials on the website. Honestly feel that since he started getting sick at 4 1/2 months and I kept them informed of every issue he was having at that time, that a partial refund would have been warranted. I did not even ask for a full refund, just half. His health issues are continuous and the cowhock is an issue that will be passed along to the puppies. Cowhock is genetic/heriditary, as are the bone deformities. He also had coccidia, which they did pay for the treatment, but this issue is passed from the mother to every litter she has. It is actually recommended a female that has had coccidia should not be bred. Of course, I learned all of this after the fact. I just want to make sure that someone else does not go through what I have been dealing with. again, I am only writing about medical issues that I can document and my own experience with this breeder. Tried to find others, but my efforts were in vain.

Have now attached pictures of his back legs when he is standing and his tail. Just not normal at all. The two pictures of his legs show how he stands all the time! His back legs look like sticks and he has trouble walking, getting up stairs, into my vehicle and does not walk or run normally. The tail needs no explanation.

I understand that, I do. The point is, the bone deformities and autoimmune issues are hereditary and will continue to be passed along to other puppies, maybe not all the time, but as far as I am concerned, one sick pup is one too many when they refused to acknowldege that he is sick. Unfortunatelly, as well, I was a novice and they do not offer a written guarantee. I know better now. I am not saying to write them off, just be very, very careful when buying a dog from this breeder. she refused to acknowledge my complaints and also refused to believe that there is a problem. They guarantee a healthy dog, but they don't back it up when there is a problem. My dog started getting sick at such a young age and all I wanted was a partial refund. I not going to go back and forth about this. My dog's issues are hereditary, hence, the dogs may continue to pass along these issues to other puppies. So unless someone else has something new to say, I have said my piece. Thanks.

You are obviously a gentleman and have manners and are intelligent. Thank you for being intelligent and kind in your responses.

I have to say, I am very impressed with all the well thought out and intelligent responses. I appreciate all of your input and especially the way things are being kept polite and positive. That was my goal from the start. I see so many complaints regarding breeders that are hard to read and almost intelligible. My goal was to strictly inform and hopefully prevent anyone else from having the same experience. Glad to know that this has been a good way to inform others.

Unfortunately, in NYS, you do not have be licensed (sp?) if you, as a breeder, claim to sell less than 28 pups per year. Again, my goal here is just to inform anyone researching this breeder that I did not get a healthy dog, he does have genetic and hereditary issues and to be careful. I just want to make sure no one else goes through the heartache I have been dealing with with all the health problems my dog has. Forewarned is forearmed. And again, I am only speaking to what I can actually medically document. Everyone who responds is entitled to their opinion and I continue to appreciate all the feedback and that this is being kept civil and polite.

I chose this site to voice my concerns over the health of my dog. I do not want anyone taking my complaint and using anywhere else. That is my decision to make and I have made it. I will not support slamming the breeder on their site or their facebook site. I have kept this strictly related to my dogs documented health issues. My goal here was to strictly inform anyone interested in this breeder to just be very careful, am not advocating anything else. Please do not use my complaint on any other board or social networking site. I have made my decision to keep it here and would respectfully hope everyone can adhere to that. It is afterall, my complaint and I want it to stay here, please. Evajules, I appreciate your input and your concern for my dog very much. But please, do not take it upon yourself to use my complaint anywhere. Thank you.

Thank you Cchuckles! Also on another note, four of my posts responding to others disappeared a few days ago, so if the thread does not make complete sense, that is why. I had pictures of Chances deformed legs and tail, which I have now attached. the cowhock causes his elbows to bow inwards and his feet to point outwards, not normal. The tail needs no explanation. Not sure why that happened, as my posts were not inflammatory, derogatory or otherwise offensive.

Well, after three weeks, my deleted posts have been returned. So, apologize that some pictures and comments have been repeated. Thanks.

These pictures were taken off my facebook page and not with my permission. Chance died in August of 2015 after years of health issues. I never gave her permission to use these pictures. The fact that she is using pictures that do not show the whole picture does not negate the fact that Chance had bone deformities in his feet and legs and serious health issues.
