A practitioner heart clearance is not enough... I could do my own dogs, I don't...so here is the bugaboo, you can get a practitioner heart clearance on OFA, but you can have a more worthy heart clearance by a cardiologist that maybe you did not send in to OFA...

Well the saga continues...Sophie ("Sophie of Shadow Mountain Goldens") is now being sold on Craigs List of all places--just turned 2 and is now looking for her third home & this being a "pick of the litter" from Shadow Mountain Golden Retrievers and then re-homed to Sterling Valley Golden Retrievers who uses Shadow Mountain's stud. Hopefully she'll at least be spayed prior to being sold.

Oh how sad... The photo is straight off the website. The description of her temperament is very telling. There isn't a dog in my house that is wary of strangers. In fact correct golden temperament is outgoing....

This is a breeder selling a dog on CL? How sad for that poor dog. I wonder how much the re-homing fee is.

Wait, it this one of our member's dogs?

Sorry for not having all my facts straight, but was Sophie bred first? Do we know how many times?

It appears the ad has been deleted. I do not believe that Sophie was bred. The most recent litter on the Sterling Valley web site was with Abby.

So sad! On their website they did say that Abby had pups in nov.. So she was bred twice in a year..obviously never getting her into some sort of venue. And the heart clearance... Ugh.

Lilly already had her heart clearance from a cardiologist..i couldnt fathom being done by my vet. You do it through a clinic and its really not that much! Even eyes are done for not too much.
