I have had a similar experience as many many people have listed on this forum with Nancy Gratiot, nee Nalyn's Goldens, just recently. She had me fill out what looks like a questionnaire, not a contract. On it, one of the questions that it asks if I would give the puppy Life's Abundance, the dog food she pushes. I was clear on the paperwork and in talking to her that I would not do so. She STILL took my money. Then started playing all kinds of weird games, becoming antagonistic after getting the money and cashing it, even before we revisited that I wouldn't get the dog food. It was like she was constantly trying to fight.
She would twist your words around and becomes accusational at times and aggressive. It's almost like she relished a fight and was trying for one. Weird. She became downright hostile when it came time to get a puppy and I said no to the dog food. It became very stressful. She had three (3) litters of puppies, and I still don't have a puppy. She wrote that she expects the dog to be on the expensive/mail order food for two years. She wrote and said she expected me to get the mail order dog food, porky puff chews, canned food, skin and coat supplements, vitamins, and treats...all from the company she represents. She even lists quantities. From what I understand, she expects you to mail in the receipts month. Since I am not getting these, I don't get a puppy. And she does this to people over and over and over. It sounds like she has an ongoing scam. I am considering filing a small claims suit against her, or possibly a bigger/multiple people small claims suit if people want, as this is illegal. (see below). If any other victims of this would like to be a witness in this, please contact me. I feel like someone has to stop this as this sounds like it has been going on for years. She has a complete scam going. I truly wish I would have seen the info on her sooner, but of course, she made it sound like I had to get my deposit down right away as someone else was coming and she had puppies already... My previous experience with getting a dog/puppy from other breeders was excellent, and we even stayed in contact and the dog revisited their first "mommas". This has been stressful and a nightmare. I would strongly recommend avoiding her.

My contact info is [email][email protected][/email] if anyone would like to help. Please let me know if you would be willing to be a witness.

Tying currently is generally deemed per se unlawful only if:

Separate Products: Two separate products or services are involved;
Coercion: The sale or agreement to sell one product or service is conditioned on the buyer’s agreement to purchase another product or service;

Coercion
A key element of tying is the forced purchase of a second distinct commodity; in other words, purchasing the tied product is mandatory when purchasing the tying product. What distinguishes illegal tying from legal bundling is the seller's exploitation of its control over the tying product to force the buyer into the purchase of a tied product that the buyer either did not want at all or might have preferred to purchase elsewhere on different terms. Where the buyer is given the option to purchase products individually or as a bundle, and the option to purchase individual products is economically feasible, no tying occurs.

After reading several other unsavory reviews about Nalyns golden retrievers, I decided to submit my own negative experience. I certainly would never do business with them or recommend them to anyone else, based on how unprofessional and rude Nancy Gratiot was to me when we spoke by phone. I contacted them after finding their info online during our search for a family dog. Unfortunately, I can't speak for their golden retrievers because I didn't get past the first point of contact with her by phone--no thank you! She was condescending, interruptive, lacked effective communication skills and professional decorum, and made several offensive assumptions about me in the brief 6 minute phone call we had. We value the importance of rapport and relationship between breeders and prospective dog owners, and I learned soon into the phone call that she was not someone we cared to work with based on her aggressive style. I repeated to her that I don't think she is the right breeder for us and I tried to end the phone call at least 3 times, yet she was challenging and it seemed she really wanted to stay on the phone and argue. It really was a bizarre and troubling experience talking with her, as she put words into my mouth and tried to twist what I said when I briefly shared with her a bit about my family and our needs with regard to a new dog, despite my attempts to clarify and to correct her. Again, she seemed to resist and wanted to argue when I told her I didn’t feel comfortable moving forward with her. My entire experience with this individual makes me question her mental status. Highly offensive, and just plain strange experience.
