Heartlands Quality Labrador Retrievers

I would strongly suggest avoiding this puppy mill. We reserved our pup in October. The pup was to be born in November. I explained to Shannon that we were leaving for an 8 day vacation in January and could not get him till Jan 20^th. She acknowledged that would be OK if we paid an extra $ 150 for next round of shots. We agreed. After the pup was born (two pup litter) she sent a couple of pictures and made comments that seemed out of place. One described how someone offered to pay her double for our «Jake» and then another was If you want to trade She would just keep him herself to breed. He’s a very handsome, white, large pup. Of course we were not interested in giving our pup away. Last week we left for our vacation to Hawaii. Shannon sent me a text demanding a cashiers check be overnighted. Of course our Houston Bank didn’t have a branch there. We offered to wire transfer funds. She said she didn’t trust banks. (really) Then she suggested Moneygram. We found a location in Laihaina and sent it for the final $ 1300. Later the Moneygram folks contacted me and said they were not a consumer product company and would not allow the transaction to go through. I told Shannon and suggested Western Union. She agreed and asked me where I’d send. The next day when I got up Shannon had sent a text telling me she had changed her mind. She would not sell us «Jake». My wife and I had flown to Ohio to see him at 5 weeks old. I had posted every new pic (3) that we had received. Shannon Randolph and hubby broke our hearts, gave us sleepless nights and ruined the last three days of our vacation. Why? Probably GREED!!! I have every text message we exchanged outlining all of our arrangements. She clearly violated our contract. I’d suggest you really dot your i’s and cross your t’s and go look at their operation and visit «The Barn»
Oh by the way, my deposit $ 500, out of pocket expenses to go visit who I thought was my new pup $ 1200 dealing with a dishonest breeder, sleepless nights, broken heart (priceless) although we will soon put a price on it. Avoid this operation at all cost!!! The above photos are ones she sent during first 8 weeks.
