She refused to eat and the next day I took her to the vet for bloody discharge. They found a cyst and prescribed antibiotics. Two days later, I kept having this nagging feeling that something wasn't right. So I took her to my personal vet who did blood work and discovered she had a life threatening infection that required hospitalization. I opted not to put her in the hospital and brought her home with me, along with her prescription food, her NEW course of antibiotics and her probiotics. For the last two weeks, Elli has been on two different antibiotics and I've been praying for her to pull through. Luckily for me, she made a full recovery and DCHS refuses to take any responsibility for adopting out a sick dog or to reimburse the $1000s I've spent on medical care. Buyer beware of pets here.

I'm a lifelong dog owner who has raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through the end of their…read morelives. With that experience in mind, I would strongly recommend avoiding this shelter before wasting your time and emotions. I found an Australian Shepherd mix puppy I wanted to adopt and submitted all the necessary paperwork. After more than a week of unanswered calls and messages, I finally reached Tina, who confirmed I was first in line. She explained the puppy had a slight limp and needed a vet check before we could meet him. She also expressed concerns about the breed being around my two young boys, ages 3 and 5, despite my experience raising dogs and my children having grown up around them. Another week and a half passed with virtually no communication. I had to repeatedly chase down updates and eventually schedule the meeting through another employee. I drove all the way to Cumming with my two excited boys, only to be brought into a small 10x10 room to meet the puppy. He was understandably cautious around strangers but was gentle, explored the room, and even gave us puppy kisses. The trainer immediately characterized his behavior as fear and said he was looking for an escape. We weren't allowed to walk him or interact in a more open environment. It felt like the decision had already been made before we even arrived. At the end of the meeting, we were told they weren't comfortable approving the adoption but would discuss it with the director and call the next day. That call never came. Instead, at 8:30 p.m., while I was putting my soon-to-be-disappointed children to bed, I received a TEXT rejecting our adoption. I understand shelters must make responsible placement decisions, but the lack of communication, questionable evaluation process, and failure to extend even the courtesy of a promised phone call were incredibly unprofessional. I have a fenced yard, work from home, and years of experience raising dogs. If my children's ages and the breed were dealbreakers, why put us through weeks of waiting and an emotional meet-and-greet? A frustrating and disappointing experience from start to finish. I won't be returning or recommending Furkids to anyone.

I am so very thankful and impressed with Lucinda at Ducktown. My fiancé and I were looking for a…read morenew dog to join our family and spend time hunting for waterfowl. From the beginning to the middle and end of the process I was blown away. Lucinda was extremely warm and we still keep very close contact with her. Cooper has a drive like no other. He had very impressive instinctual habits right from the beginning. Cooper is currently away at training and our dog trainer has nothing but great things to say about him -- from looks, personality, drive, and overall high level of breeding. We will be looking to add another pup to our family soon and will hands down be using Lucinda (this time a yellow pup!). I applaud her picking process. She really gets to know the family and makes sure she is finding the best match. Puppy match maker? I say YES. Thank you so much Lucinda! Cooper is our world

You won't find a better breeder than Lucinda at Ducktown Retrievers! Lucinda was recommended to me…read morefrom multiple different individuals who have all purchased labradors from her. As a breeder, Lucinda is passionate about her litters and is very attentive to her pups' health, development, and early socialization. Lucinda was very attentive to my needs and what I was looking for in my hunting retriever. My black lab has a lot of drive, is very biddable, and might be the most intelligent lab I have owned. As for the clown that gave Ducktown Retrievers a bad review, maybe he doesn't understand what "nonrefundable deposit" means... Any breeder worth their salt will have a puppy contract to protect their clients and business so I would suggest reading it next time, Kevin. As for the appearance of Ducktown Retrievers' dogs, take a look at the pictures and tell me that's not a good looking dog... If I could give Lucinda and DTR 10 stars, I would! I will definitely look to Lucinda in the future for another waterfowling dog.
