Hello.  My name is Sandy Goldschmitt and I have been raising quality Australian Shepherd's (Aussies), Toy Aussies and Mini Aussies for 15+ years.  My dogs come with a health warranty, and usually go to pet-only homes on spay/neuter contracts.  We have puppies coming soon, and have shown dogs in the past.  If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to contact me by email and we can talk more from there.  :-)

On another note, PLEASE do not believe everything that is posted on the Internet.  

There are self-proclaimed "consumer" websites out there that will post ANYTHING without verifying facts.  This is what has happened to me.  

Thank you for taking the time to read below, and here is my rebuttal to a fabricated complaint:

   

Donna Gough www.vanitygrovefarm.com  AMELIA, VA. first contacted me about purchasing 2 puppies in June '09. She asked for a multiple purchase discount, which I gave her. I checked out her references after I questioned her about the well being of the girls. Everything seemed fine, until I got the deposit from Donna Gough. She became very hard to work with, abusive and even rude.

I told her on more then one occasion that I did not want to go thru with the sale. She threatened me, so I went against everything I have learned over the years and agreed to sell her the puppies. Donna Gough asked me on more then one occasion to meet her in Atlanta or have my sister transport the puppies to North Carolina.  Never once did she ask to see the parents. Donna Gough did not want to drive that far. It wasn't until a later conversation that she finally divulged that one puppy was for her, and the other was for a friend.

I decided to have Donna Gough meet me at the Veterinarians Office as she had caused sooooo many problems. When she meet me on 7/29/09 at  8AM Donna Gough accused me of bringing her the wrong puppy. Donna Gough had without my permission taken pictures off of my Website which is copy written / All Rights Reserved, and brought them with her. Donna Gough finally decided that indeed it was the same puppy. When she went inside the Vets Office Donna Gough was VERY RUDE to everyone. The Vet did a complete examination and weighted each puppy 7.2 and 7.4 lbs not a lightweight for 8 weeks. Donna Gough's puppy had a parasite, which can be caused by eating feces, which some puppies do, and can be caused by STRESS.

The Vet explained to her the SOUTH has different parasites then the NORTH. Donna Gough started screaming and acting totally irrational. The Vet told Donna Gough, if she gave the medication he had prescribed, that the puppy should be fine. I offered Donna Gough, back her money in front of 4 witnesses, Donna Gough refused!!!.Donna Gough was still acting irrational, and I asked the Vets wife to call the POLICE. When Donna Gough heard this she grabbed the 2 puppies and ran for the door. Donna Gough glanced back and said "You will never hear from me again" . This all started in August 2009 by her fabricated post on a popular consumer website. They removed the complaint when my attorney sent them proof that Donna Gough was lying.

Donna Gough was served a CEASE and DESIST Order on 8/19/09 which she has VIOLATED. The listings on this board are from DONNA GOUGH. I have been doing this for 15 years, once in a while you find a potential customer who is unsure of the transaction, in this case DONNA GOUGH wanted the puppies on her own terms, not mine. I went to GREAT LENGTHS to accommodate Donna Gough.

Donna Gough has a contract on www.vanitygrovefarm.com which is very similar to my contract. So what is the problem?  Donna Gough likes to complain and cause people problems. The other puppy went to Diane Meyers, Glouster VA. she is VERY happy with her, and the rest of the puppies went to a M.D. DOCTOR, a VETERINARIAN and a LAWYER, and I retained one. So what is Donna Gough's problem??? Donna Gough is a  DECEITFUL, ANGRY person who tries to cause other people problems instead of working things out with people.

My response is ONLY as a rebuttal to provide the facts of what happened between myself and Donna Gough. Those of you who have any questions regarding this situation feel free to contact me, I will take my time to answer any and all questions that you may have.

  

Thank you very much for your time in reading this.  Sandy.
