WARNING -- DO NOT ADOPT FROM THIS BREEDER Company Names / Aliases Used: * Red Golden Therapy * Red Golden Retrievers * Golden Therapy Breeders - Red Golden Retrievers Breeder: Michael Lee Michael Lee advertises his Golden Retrievers as having received DNA and genetic testing and claims OFA clearances for hips, elbows, and knees. When I directly requested documentation to verify these claims, he was unable to provide proof of any testing or certifications. His sire, RangerGoldenBoy, has not had current hip X-rays within AKC-recommended guidelines, yet continues to be bred. AKC has been notified regarding these practices and the alarming health patterns emerging within this lineage. My puppy was only 10 months old when he was diagnosed on 11/6 with severe hip dysplasia, with veterinary recommendations for bilateral total hip replacements once skeletal maturity is reached. Since then, his mobility and quality of life have rapidly declined. After thousands of dollars in care and multiple veterinary consultations, we are now facing the unthinkable reality of euthanasia because he is suffering. This did not have to happen. Michael Lee currently has two litters due in approximately two weeks, with a waitlist already in place. I am begging potential adopters: DO NOT ADOPT THESE DOGS. These puppies are at serious risk for severe congenital orthopedic, neurological, and other inherited conditions that can devastate families emotionally and financially. I would give anything to go back and make a different decision. I can't save my dog -- but you can save yours. Michael Lee: Do the right thing. Stop breeding. Get proper testing. Protect these dogs instead of profiting from them. If you have been affected by Michael Lee and his breeding practices, please contact: Samantha.c.anderson1@gmail.com read more
