I purchased my two pups, Zowie and Bronx from Jeff Dane. I live just NE of Dallas and drove to his place near Paris TX. He has a lovely home and was a very nice person. We spent a couple of hours there and had a great time. This was over 2 years ago, and I think most of what I have ever seen is hear-say. The post mentioned above is the first time I have ever read a first hand account of a problem. Our two dogs are very healthy, very beautiful. They had a litter of puppies last May which are all healthy, great temperament dogs (I kept them all). One of our dogs was raised in Jeff's kennel, the other was by one of his breeders. At the time, he owned 2 kennels in addition to his own which he runs with his family, wife son and daughter, and helper. He had about 120 of his own dogs that run around his place and are guarded by some bigger dogs - to keep the coyote's away. As much as people bad mouth him, I have never heard of any of them going to visit to see how nice his place really is. I think he has got a bad rap, is tired of having people run him down and really doesn't have to put up with it because he has a thriving business. His dogs are 100% guaranteed. If your mother goes up there (about 2 hours), I think she will find him much more pleasant that he is on the phone. I am guessing the way some of these people are that they call and harass him all of the time and still have no real issue. That is my opinion. As I said, it has been a little more than two years since I was there. He has a great personality, is very friendly. That is my opinion which I usually keep to myself because they don't like to hear it. But I had an agreement with a friend on here that I wouldn't say anything good about him if she didn't say anything bad; and she broke her word! |
