| ![]() Hi. This post was brought to my attention. So, I have to add my two cents, too. First, let me start off by saying that Villette is a really sweet person and would never make up lies about anyone. My husband and I bought a female yorkie six years ago from Betty. Betty wrote on my receipt, "Teacup Yorkie". Well, this 'teacup' yorkie is now 14 pounds. I know breeders can't truly predict the exact adult weight of a yorkie puppy, but most breeders come close and they know what they're breeders are likely to produce if they are repetable. I still have that receipt today. Gracie has also had many, many problems. As an example, before the age of two, she had two knee surgeries to correct a congenital defect. Any repetitable breeder would not continue breeding breeders who pass bad qualities. To this day, we are still having to shell out high vet bills due to her bad breeding. As far as what Villette was saying about Betty's dogs being kept outside and shaved down, well, I've been to Betty's house twice and have seen this both times. Our puppy was also brought home with ear mites and ear infections. Puppies are NOT born with this problem. This problem is born from a lack of care and attention. As far as fleas go, there is a product called Advantage. Knowing what I know now about breeders, I wouldn't walk away from Betty's place, I would run. I'm sorry if this comes across meanly, but it's simply the truth.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ![]() Jamie....you don't have a mean bone in your body ...and HUGS to Gracie - I love to think of her as Chanel's cousin. I know she's been thru so much and you & your husband are the BEST Yorkie mom and dad.... She's a sweet girl and I just wish she didn't have the problems she's had. I hold her breeder responsible for that too. She knows what she's selling. ![]() |

| ![]() I was considering getting another puppy and had talked to Betty over the phone only. She sent me an email with a picture of the puppy, which looked precious. When I saw these posts, I immediately told her I'd changed my mind. I had just begun looking around, so I had not even gone to look at the puppy and hadn't wasted her time or mine. But, I could have, had I not have been warned by the wonderful YT members. Thanks! ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() It also makes me so thankful all over again that Patrick & I were fortunate enough to find a good breeder like Ava. We have been so blessed to have a healthy baby such as Toto but my heart absolutely breaks each time I hear of "what could have been".

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ![]() People are probably tired of seeing my name on this thread ![]() WHEN we post these kinds of REVIEWS on a breeder - it's not to bash the breeder - it's to warn others to look for the signs. I really do love my Chanel and IF I Could get another just like her - I would...but after learning what GOOD Breeders are....I am 100% positive that the breeders I posted about are NOT. My intention is to help the next person. I get pm's from people asking who Chanel's breeder is & I'm happy to share.... but it comes with a warning when I respond. So always look around and if possible - try to find others that have dealt with the particular breeder you are thinking of using..... Being NICE on the phone or on a visit doesn't make a breeder a good breeder - they want YOUR MONEY. |

![]() It breaks my heart to hear about so many puppies will serious illnesses that can be prevented with simple medical attention. The suffering Chanel went thru was awful to witness ....and what makes it worse is it just lines the pockets of these so called 'breeders'. They actually make money off these sick dogs - the bad breeders never step in to help or offer support and medical bills can run into the hundreds of $$ QUICK. | |

| ![]() Hi - can those who have a breeder they would recommend in Texas post them for the people who are looking for reputable breeders so they know where to go and won't be drawn in by one's that have bad reputations. I know it would be helpful. If we could start with the larger cities, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, & Dallas. I think everyone could get to these cities pretty easily. It would sure save them a lot of heartache in the end. ![]() |

| ![]() 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. |

| ![]() Yeah I still feel extremely awful about that I just can't believe they are getting away with this until now I will make sure those bast_ _ ds will pay! you can go to ripoff report.com and search under brushy creek kennel and theres at least 3 or 4 complaints on there. I have done my research on those idiots! I feel like rescueing all those poor babies and burning their place down, oh you know that nasty lady (Dawn) had the nerve to say that their dog selling paid for all the nice homes and land and office they have there. Can you believe that! |

| ![]() Oh this makes me so mad, woofshepard, I did send you a PM. I too wish I could rescue all of the poor little defenseless puppies from that place. I wish I would have done more research on them prior to purschasing my puppy...but had I done that, that would have been one less puppy rescued from that awful evil place. On the surface they portray themselves as reputable, knowledgable, caring, nice people. What a joke! Now that I am doing research after the fact, I have found that many people have the same situation with these people. |
