| Please be aware of www.yourpup.com My wife I went to purchase our new puppy... at this GOD AWFUL puppy mill in Bonham, Texas. We had spoke to him several times on the phone and we impressed by his nice words, chatty personality and love for his pets. We had also had a metal friend who raved about her new puppy that she purchased from this man Steve at metal.com We were completely taken of guard to what we were walking in to. Regardless, she never went to his home to witness the cruelty that this man Steve and his wife do to this poor animals. They have 3 to 5 dogs in this small, metal cages...resembling a hen house with their cages all along the side of the wall with the metal cage opening from them the pee and poop. These poor dogs have wrist bands listing their name, birth date and purchase price; meanwhile they are covered in their own along with their other cage mates urine and pisces. Some of these dogs are almost a year old.. the ones he hasn't sold, because he lists them at $6,000.00 My wife to save an older dog, because she felt sorry that he never had a home. It was so heartbreaking to see that he was so scared that he was shaking, because he has lived his whole life in this small cage (shared with other dogs) that we put him on the grass, he didn't know what to do, but to only get back into the small cage that he was used to. My wife started crying, begging me to let her adopt them all (she was an amazing heart) Not only was I upset to see her like this, but I promised myself to let others know that this sad, grown man Steve chooses to make this his occupation. His neglect and cruelty to this poor dogs, who live in an shed with no air conditioner in 104 degrees Texas weather, clearly shows and is undeniably noticed by anyone who encounters it. I pray that no-one will encourage this puppy mill by purchasing their new puppy from this man Steve at metal.com If you strongly feel that you want to add your newest member of your family from this man, I can only ask for your to go to his home and witness the exact same cruelty that we had experienced to let that influence your decision. I can only hope that Steve and his wife will realize that their greed has become metal cruel to these poor helpless animals. I also hope that they will find God in their heart and realize the difference between right and wrong. Please do not encourage this man Steve at www.yourpup.com |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | So that's Jeff Danes Brother ? hmmmm.....seems to be a family affair. If you saw cruelty with your own eyes - time to call the authorities. That's just wrong on so many levels....those poor dogs. Edited to add. I just saw the site - looks EXACTLY like Jeff Danes site. He could very well be the owner of yourpup.com and have his brother in charge. Not saying it's true - but it easily could be an extension of www.yorkiepup.com the outrageous prices are also a Jeff Dane signature. He's been doing this a long time.

| How in the world is the community allowing this? No doubt he's running his mill just inside the edge of the laws but just in case, please report what you saw if you saw abuse or neglect of any kind. And keep passing the word of the type of operation he's running.

| Please alert the authorities and then let us know what happens!!! I live in New York State, and we have Amish people running puppy mills. It's disgraceful. I wish they would all get shut down. |
