New Yorkie owner, from a breeder that is questionable. So sad.

[YorkieShadow]

Im so sorry this happened to you. Those poor babbies. I hope they get better soon. Good Luck.

[Maddie-Rudy-Mom]

Sending your furbabies get well wishes. They are lucky to have a family that will do what it takes to get them well. Hopefully one day he will be shut down.

Hi and welcome to Yorkie Talk.....I am so sorry that your babies are sick. How many do you have?

Did you get them all from Jeff Dane and was it recently? This is just terrible news! We have never had a YT member who has had difficulties with him before although we have heard ALL of the rumors. You would be the first to confirm the rumors.

Please, if you don't mind.....give us the details so we will know once and for all that the horrible rumors are true...what was his facility like, how much did you pay, what illnesses do your dog have, are you suing him (I am an attorney and would gladly help) , have you reported him, how can we help?

Sorry for so many questions but we have been looking for someone like you for quite some time to give us more than just rumors.

You all might wish to contact people like "Ashley"...see link. http://www.yorkiephiles.com/forums/d...=1&topicid=372

A google search of "Jeff Dane" reveals many such posts to various message boards. I have a hard time believing that the originator of this thread was the only actual victim of Jeff Dane that is a member of YT. Perhaps so. I shudder to think of the countless people that are members of sites like his and have experienced tragedy because they failed to carefully research this individual. Heck, all you have to do is just carefully review his website to see bogus this guy is.

[red98vett]

It's no rumor that Jeff Dane is a scam artist...The guy is a puppy factory and I rate him right up there with the worst Pet Stores.

I'm very sorry you are having so much trouble...he's been bad news for years and many people fall for his website and facilities but he got rich off the backs of selling puppies from mills AND lying about the health of many....

I've known a few people a few years back who went thru similar situations with him and I'm just sorry he's still in business....once the puppies leave his premises - he wants nothing to do with them and as someone who lives in Texas also - I've heard nothing but bad things about him.

There are some lucky people out there but there who have healthy puppies - but there are TOO many stories like yours and my heart goes out to you. I would report him and do whatever you can to call attention to this problem.

There is another member who has purchased from him but she had a good experience and says nothing but good things about Jeff.

[minniemn]

I had replied before, but it must of gotten "eaten"... lol.

I am sorry you got such a sick puppy, many people have talked about the bad experiences with Jeff Dane- seems that he doesn't really care about the pups he is selling, once the money is in his pockets.

If you dont feel like sharing each and every detail of your sale ect, don't worry about it... many here believe you on your word alone, and on the words of many others who were taken by this guy.

I will keep your pup in my thoughts... keep us posted on how they are doing.

Can you say CROOK?

First off- Bless anyone that cares enough to rescue and raise a precious baby but
Between reading this and the earlier one about him having 1200 babies- I hope this puts up red flags galore for anyone else looking for a puppy. I haven't looked at his site cause I am sure he charges big for his brokered puppies ! I agree with " How do you say CROOK?"

[SoCalyorkiLvr]

I have read the "Ashley thread" before. Do you know Ashley? Is she a regular on Yorkiphiles and are you a member? (Just looking for the "credibility factor)Do you know of any others?

Pardon the questions but it is my training...lol.....Plus I am just a born skeptic and everything needs to be proven to me..

[feminvstr]

Yet another rumor becomes fact. I am so sorry you were taken, I hope your babies have a speedy recovery.

YT member Ashley-Problems with Jeff Dane on YT.

Not trying to be skeptical here, but if all these stories about this particular breeder/broker are true, why hasn't it been reported to the district attorney in that state as well as to the Humane Society.

I don't doubt the illness of the puppy, it seems like many of us get our puppies home and they are sick with kennel cough within 48 hours.

If this guy is such a sham, we here at YT should make sure the word gets out in it he is reported to the appropriate authorities to stop anyone else from falling victim to him. People like him need to be stopped, if the rumors and stories are true.

[SoCalyorkiLvr]

and here is a member who was very happy with Jeff Dane (starts at Post #6)

I agree that a lot of the bad publicity for some breeders comes for the fact that yorkies are especially susceptible to coccidia, kennel cough and hypoglycemia as puppies. All of mine had something except my Ava.

I think when you are a "volume" breeder or broker like Jeff Dane is you cannot make everyone happy all the time.

I have tried to get the Texas YTers near him to go for a visit to his operation and report back what they discover so we can take action if it is really bad and put him out of business. I even offered to pay for the gas for one but I got no takers. If I ever make it to that part of Texas, I will make it a point to go just because I am curious if those puppies are as bad off as some say.

wow, so sorry to hear about your babies, please keep us posted on their progress, i am sure with your love and devotion t they will get better and be able to live happy healthy lives.
