I am relieved that I found this forum. I live in Houston and have been searching for a wheaten terrier. I found an add in the chronical for a female wheaten! I was so excited! I called and they told me they were Brushy Creek Kennels and I could go to wheatencity.com to see a picture of the puppy! I made an appointment to go see the puppy later that evening. Once I got there, she brought the puppy to me. I wanted to see the living conditions, but I didn't get a chance to. I heard a ton of barking going on in the back. I thought from reading the website that they were hobby breeders, raising wheatens at home! I asked for papers on the parents and they said they didn't have any. I got worried. I said I would come back Sat. to get the puppy. Then I found this forum the next day. I couldn't believe what I read! This place appeared to be so nice and clean from the front! I found that they breed at least 12 different types of dogs and they all have the same website with the breed name plugged into the description of the founders history with that breed! I am not purchasing the puppy, but I feel so terrible to leave that precious little girl behind! I talked to an expert in the area and she advised me to NOT buy from them and I would only be supporting what they do. They don't have a good rep, but I don't think enough people know to stay away. They put on a good front being a nice one breed kennel. It's decieving! After watching that one puppy mill that was busted recently in Houston on the news, I feel like now might be the time to take action on these guys. People are aware and concerned right now because it's in the media. Has any progress been made?
