My boy Winston from Princeton. As you can see, he is absolutely perfect in every way it has been phenomenal since we got him three years ago. Second Gold Rush Golden. Murphy lived to 12 had horrible ear issues but was So beautiful in loving to my five kids that were born during his lifetime. He died of cancer of the stomach. Waited a year and contacted gold rush. Ann Johnson had dementia and her kennel was taken over by Amy Who brought the dogs in a different place outside of Princeton where picked Winston up. that was three years ago. A lump on his throat was discovered a few weeks ago, It was diagnosed as cancerous. Because he's three years old we're going to go through with chemo and spend $8000. still this the Statistics are No chemo & dies in three months. CHEMO & prednisone with 12 week treatment will give him 12 months to 2 years and 25% of the dogs who reached two years can live a few extra bonus years. we're praying that the fact that he's three years old will give him an added boost. At first we thought it was bad luck and maybe some environmental issues but then we started looking at all these bad reviews and so many talking about lymphoma, young dogs, no association with Golden breeder association and genetic Findings that the dogs were over bread by 25% when breeders Association recommends below 10%. So with that informationn it becomes pretty clear to stay away from Gold Rush. I tried to call Amy and the original number for gold rush and both have been disconnected so I don't think they're out of business. If anyone wants to reach out and tell me a good breeder and some good techniques to look for before we purchase another dog it woul. Be apprecitated. That said I'm not bitter just a little angry. Amy was very helpful when we started looking for a dog and when we picked him up it was a very professional operation in a beautiful setting and the dogs we're all gorgeous. I didn't do my due diligence and I went into the transaction and I got a dog that I will love forever whether he lives another day or not. driscoll@gate.net.
