I wish I would have found this post prior to purchasing my Westie. I am looking for any information against this breeder and would like to know (outside the SPCA) what other agencies I can contact to file a complaint.

I purchased a westie, was told to have him vet checked with in 48 hours and told he has a year long warranty against any heredity health defects. I did not have to wait the complete 48 hours, he was sick the next day with an awful dry cough, pasty nose and alot of sneezing. I took him to a vet and was told him may have distemper. I called Brushy Creek back as the vet has suggested. David told me there was no way he had distemper, he was a bit offended and offered for me to see his vets bills. He stated that about three years ago, a "batch" of puppies had this same type illness due to the Bordetella (sp?). I took him to 2 more vets and they had the same consensus and had never heard of this reaction from a vaccine. Many vet bills later, my puppy is now a happy healty puppy. We did contact the breeder and she said to bring him to her and they would make him better (due to the fact that three educated vets could not cure), I guess they have the miracle cure. I left him there one night and picked him up the next day due to the thought sickened me that he had to spend one more night at that place.

When we picked him up, she had about 5 westies in the back of her truck, her truck was covered in feces, hay and flies. It was horrible. She also has a very emanciated Wheaten that she was trying to get better. That wheaten had the same symptoms that my westie had. She said she took her to the vet, but look at the ground when she answered. I have a feeling, that dog had not or has not been to a vet. I did ask to see the parents and kennels and they would not let me see them. I will say that the appearence of their office and house seems to be extremely clean. However, if one can get past it, I too believe it is another story.

Upon researching this kennel, I have found they breed a ridiculous amount of dogs and many people have the same experience and some alot worse than mine. If there is anyone out there with contact information to any governing authority, please let me know.
