Well V, I agree, and I don't agree.
I agree that I think Jeff Dane is probably a relatively clean operation, and that people just jump to the assumption that his dogs are kept in filth, etc, and they're probably not.
People are always wanting him to get "investigated", but I really don't think that the law/media would be able to go in and see anything particularly "wrong".
I agree that he's probably not at miller at the Brushy Creek level. For one thing, he appears to deal exclusively in yorkies. And I also have to say that I don't believe I've ever heard of him sending anyone the wrong dog, or, grossly misrepresenting a dog.
I also agree that there are waaaaay more horrible operations that deserve our attention and efforts. This has ALWAYS been my stance on him.
However, I'm very surprised to hear you say that you've changed your mind about him. I've heard WAY more stories about people getting sick dogs from him than I've ever heard about Brushy Creek. I've personally known people who have gone through this with him, and have been lied to and treated awfully by him. I also have issues with how poorly bred the puppies on his site appear to be. I have NEVER seen yorkie puppies that look like those do.
I'd be interested to hear why you've changed your mind about him. You're right though....this is a topic for another thread. Start one, or pm me on the subject if you'd like. |
