They have the mother and father on site. When we went to the room where the puppies are, I can see that they have all the paperwork and records in order. Jeanine said that they do all the testing for health to make sure none of their labradors have any health disease traits. It is clear they have been doing this for a long time. My husband and I aren't trying to rush the process, we are currently doing research and building our knowledge because buying a puppy is a serious thing and we want to make sure we make the best choices. Based on my experience after visiting the puppies I would highly recommend this breeder.

Unfortunately I failed to do my due diligence in looking into Gold Country. Mike Flores, Owner and husband of Cherie Flores assisted us during the booking and duration of stay with my two dogs. Now, there are several complaints on Yelp about his customer service skills or lack there of. Which is very true. But because I know how to deal with difficult people I was able to get through my conversations with him with out any major conflicts. Yes, Mike lacks manners, and is very suspicious of anyone entering his property. Very guarded and and unwelcoming but I think that's just the way he is. Second the facility they place our dogs. Not sure if what they advertise really exist or if they even provide the services they offer. There are no pictures of the kennel besides the "virtual tour" which is a prerecorded video with a power point presentation with picture of the so called kennel. But as customers, we are not allowed to see where our dogs are housed in person. I find it strange that we have to drop/pickup in a separate building. The property seems to be deteriorating in person compared to the pictures from their website. I paid for additional services such at the relaxation package and activity package but I don't have any evidence that these services were rendered. I packed food for my dogs and when I picked them up it seems that all the food I provided was gone. Once home, I fed my dogs and they eating like they haven't been fed for days. And they drank so much water... again all speculation but observing my dogs behavior and habits it seem they did not eat or drink very much. I also paid for a "report card" detailing their daily progress of their stay which I never received. During the scheduled pickup day (Monday 8-9) which states in there email there was no one there. I called multiple times and messages them on Facebook but no response. I decided to drive into the property and went to a residential home assuming it was the home of Mike. I started knocking and making my presence known. He came out and of course was confrontational asked what I was doing there. Long story short, he ended up making an excuse that he forgot about the pickup and asked that I wait back in the pickup and drop-off building. Side Note, the residential property was fenced off and I heard lots of dogs in cages. I also found a dog in the transport van they used that seemed to be there overnight. Again the property did not appear to be in good condition. I do not believe my dogs where in any of those cages but I can only speculate if they were other customers dogs. The kicker to all this was when I called after my dogs stay to see if they would accommodate a Sunday pick up. Mike said they were closed on weekends and didn't have staff to help accommodate our request. This statement brought up many concerns. If he said they didn't have staff, then who is caring for all the dogs in their care? My dogs stayed the weekend and now I questioned if they were cared for at all. Well I did further research and found out that the Amador County Animal control licenses these types of establishments. I inquired to see if Gold Country had any complaints filed against them or if they property had been inspected. The receptionist stated she didn't work in that unit but stated Cherie Flores works with her agency and helps trains law enforcement and search and rescue dogs. At this point, I decided not to ask anymore questions as Gold Country has a relationship with this agency. I feel that even if I wanted to file a complaint, it would fall on deaf ears. So please do your research. I will never use them again.

During the fires three years ago, In true AR fashion, the animals were left to burn to death as the disgusting owners did nothing to evacuate them. Just another disgusting scammuary that doesn't bother to give their animals proper medical care, and seeps up money from idiots for their animal rights agenda. This is truly sad anyone could support a disgrace of a sanctuary. I wonder if it would be okay for a pet owner to allow their pets to burn to death if there was danger of fire. My pets are savannahs and hybrid mixes. I have no doubt that if I let my cats toy burn to death, AR groups would have judged and condemned me. There was a fire a mile from my home, and I got enough cardboard boxes to transport my pets. Yet, when a fire was a mile away from this scammuary the AR leadership would have left those animals to burn to death. I hope this facility shuts down or is taken over by people that actually value animals over their stupid AR agenda. The small zoo near my house had all the animals evacuated in 30 minutes when the same fire I prepared for was a mile close. Yet, AR scammuary didn't care enough about their animals to do the same. I hope the people from the Toronto Zoo gave those idiots a piece of their mind for killing their elephants. There are elephants that are working animals that live longer! You are all sick and disgusting! AR has nothing to do with the welfare and well being of an animal, it is about destroying the human and animal bond.
