      location at ************. These dogs are supposed to come with a clean bill of health as they get their dogs from certified breeders. In the contract that you sign with this place, it clearly states that if the dog is found to have a genetic defect, you are entitled to a refund for your dog. Our dog was then diagnosed with Juvenile Cataracts and we started the process of getting the refund for the dog in the beginning of February of 2024. We have put about $1,000 into medications and vet appointments for our dog that we are still paying off by the way. The cost of surgery to make it so our dog isnt blind for the rest of his life will be about $8,000. We are now down to not enough money to buy groceries for ourselves and still have not gotten our refund check and it is currently the end of March 2024. Almost 2 months of working with this company that has lied to us over and over again to not give us a refund. If you dont want to have to take a company to small claims court, I would suggest finding somewhere else to get a dog.
