Hello All!

I'm a new member to this board. I'd like to give a BIG "Thank You" for all of the information posted. I've never had to post b/c all my questions have been answered somewhere throughout this board :-)! I've been perusing and came across this link.....I'd like to add my 2 cents worth.

Like Jaxon's Mom, I bought my precious GiGi from Jeff Dane. I wouldn't give her up for the world. Had I known what I do now, I probably wouldn't have even considered Jeff as a potential breeder. Here is a log of my experience:

* Actually visited his place in Texas 11/05. I was actually working near his ranch on a temporary work assignment. The puppies were keep in a temperature controlled enviroment in a warehouse structure. The younger pups were in cages with their mums. The adult dogs (there weren't many) were allowed free roam of his property. The place was clean.
* He receives pups from other breeders to sell as well as his own pups.
* The animals appeared to be well taken care of.
* Gigi was 12 weeks when I bought her. It was love at first sight. No health concerns except for a nasty case of Kennel Cough. Unsure if she was already infected when I bought her or if she contracted at Petsmart. It LASTED over 4 months.
* No confrontations with Jeff. Overall a positive experience but I wouldn't buy from him again given what I know now.

At 10 months, Gigi is a well adjusted furbaby who has just reached "Big Girl" status since she's finally caught a clue with regards to potty training. The bells are ringing!!

P.S.- I'll post pictures once I figure out how to do so :-)
