I bought a dog at Laughlin, Golden Retriever, male. I got him at a lower cost because he was 3 months old. He was not socialized at all, and very afraid. It took about 8 months to get him to keep his tail up. I hired a trainer and he was trained by my daughter and the trainer at our home. That is just to tell you that he was part of the family and not an outside dog. Then he started loosing weight, after many trips to the vet it was determined he had kidney failure. Well, this couldn't be so I took him to the Spca hospital in Springfield, MA . Yes, it was true. I work in the medical field and the vets showed me how to give him fluids under the skin, that had to be done 2 times a day. I had to purchase the fluids and needles and tubing. I did that for a year, because we couldn't let him go. We finally had to euthanize because he stopped eating. I spent in excess of $10,000. on this dog. I had all vet records and Laughlin refused to return my calls. The teenager in the office\r
just said I didn't buy the extended warrenty on the dog. His cost was $600. and I didn't think I would need to spend more money for a warrenty. I just wanted to get him out of the kennel he was so scared of everything. I certainly hope something can be done about Laughlin. Her kennel reminds me of a kennel I visited once in the Midwest.
Cons: Angry... very angry
