Flgoldens Reviews 2

BEWARE! FALSE ADVERTISING AND NOT TRUSTWORTHY.

Our experience with Flgoldens (.com) (also operating as City View Goldens) raised numerous serious concerns.

Communication was responsive at first. After placing a deposit, we requested standard documentation such as veterinary exam records, confirmation of the pedigree & the parents of our dog, and basic AKC documentation. Once we asked for this, communication abruptly stopped.

We were told the puppies had been seen by a specific veterinary clinic. We contacted that clinic directly and were told they had no record of the breeder or associated individuals during the timeframe provided. We also contacted AKC regarding claims about the parents and were unable to confirm the information given to us.

After requesting documentation, the puppy we had a deposit on was relisted as “available” without any communication. Our deposit was refunded more than 24 hours later via Venmo, but no explanation was provided and we still have had no communication from the company since we made the request for documentation and information regarding the puppy we were purchasing.

We later noticed the business name changed on Yelp from Flgoldens to City View Goldens, along with a new website, while the same phone number remained. That number appeared under multiple different names, making it unclear who we were actually communicating with. We also observed publicly visible Venmo transaction histories showing repeated “puppy deposit” entries and payments to third parties selling puppies at much lower prices.

Additionally, we observed dog photos being used to represent sires that appeared to belong to other breeders or sources, which raised further concerns about accuracy and representation.

Everything appeared legitimate until we asked for proof. We strongly encourage anyone considering this breeder to independently verify veterinary records, registration claims, parent dogs, and photos before placing a deposit, and to trust their instincts if something feels off.

They now have updated on flgoldens(.com) their contact # to a different number after have shown the contact numbers matching on the fake website. If they are being dishonest about the small things what else are they being dishonest about?

WARNING: FLGoldens (sometimes doing business as Exclusive Paws LLC) in Orlando, FL (sometimes they're referenced with a CA address) is using stolen photos of My Copper Chance.

I am the owner of the sire pictured in FLGolden's website listings. These photos were taken at my kennel and used without permission. This individual does not own this dog and is misrepresenting the lineage of his puppies to buyers. Check the original by googling the name "My Copper Chance." He is not the sire of the puppy you are buying--you're being lied to. What else is "Omar" lying to you about?

This appears to be a classic example of 'Puppy Flipping.' A flipper is a broker who buys cheap puppies from out-of-state mills and resells them as 'home-raised' for a high profit. Because they don't actually own the parents, they steal high-quality photos from legitimate breeders like myself to create a fake image of quality.

Red Flags for Buyers to Watch For:

Stolen Identity: If they are using my dog's photo, they are already lying to you. What else are they hiding?

No Access to the Kennel: If they won't let you see where the puppies are raised, it’s because they likely aren't raising them.

Missing Parents: Demand to meet the mother (the Dam) in person. If they make excuses about her being at a 'different location,' they are probably flipping.

Florida Law Violations: Under FL Statute 828.29, every dog sold in Florida must have an Official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (OCVI) from a Florida vet. Check the paperwork to see what state the puppy was checked in.

Do not support deceptive 'brokers' who profit from the misery of puppy mills. A legitimate Florida breeder will have the parents on-site, provide Florida health certificates, and would never need to steal someone else's photos to sell a puppy."
