Please do not purchase from this place. We purchased a lab and it died at 3 years of age of heart failure. The vet stated he was a very sick dog and he had a lot of issues. This place ois a complete disaster. Please do your research we are now left broken hearted because of this place.

Hi Morgan Richter and Brandon Richter. I really sad to hear about your puppy. We wouldn't wish this on anybody. The reason why so many people go with breeders as they are able to contact them for more information, second opinions, and alternative options. I am sad that you never reached out to us. Here is the last contact we had and I will post this in pictures as well. You have a new message: Via: http://www.coloradosfinestsportingdogs.com/ Message Details: Name Morgan Richter Email [email protected] Subject We love our dog!!! Message Hello, I just wanted to write you and tell you how much we love our labrador retriever we got from you about a year ago. He has been such a blessing in our life and he grew up to be such a beautiful dog! Thank you so much, you guys have amazing dogs and we are hoping to get another one from you guys in the near future! Sent on: 19 June, 2018 Thank you! We would have asked for information such as the following: Bloodwork (complete blood cell count and serum biochemical profile). These tests look for underlying illness and provide important information about your dog’s overall health. Blood pressure measurement. Low blood pressure supports a diagnosis of pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Chest radiographs (X-rays). Dogs that are similar to the conditions you presented have a multifaceted reasoning of illness including cancer or poor nutrition. Electrocardiography (ECG). There are a number of characteristic ECG findings that can also support or negate causes. An ultrasound of the heart can provide a definitive diagnosis providing to provide how the heart is moving blood. Fluid analysis. If pericardial effusion is diagnosed, a sample taken from the fluid around the heart can be analyzed to help determine the cause of the effusion. Fluid analysis does not always provide a definitive diagnosis, but can be especially helpful in diagnosing certain conditions (lymphoma and infectious pericarditis). All of these would give a great picture of what was happening with your Dog. I did have an opportunity to check with the cardiologist that clears our parents and he said that the probability of genetics does exist but there are literally a hundred other reasons based on the review you presented as why your dog had heart problems. The parents are healthy and we don't breed anything other than that, but we understand it is really easy to blame the breeders for a dogs problems which in reality has nothing to with us. Should you have contacted us we could further determine parentology and ability to reduce or eliminate similar problems had your properly contacted us with this information instead of ignoring us and posting a public review. Shame on you. This contributes to future generations of problems as we keep impeccable records of our breedings. Without you notifying us you are to blame more than us for future problems. I am going to open up reasonable and amicable solutions rather than negative reviews as I really think this is much more personable and adult like. Please contact me.
