These CANNOT be full-bred....

[julieg]

these puppies look soooo sad! How can a person live with themselves doing such a horrible thing? I guess the buck speaks louder then the little puppies cries! makes me sick!

In no way am I condoning what Jeff Dane does on his site. I personally bought my baby Jaxon from him and honestly the transaction could not have gone any smoother. I didn't join YT until a few months after buying Jaxon, otherwise I may have not considered him. Jaxon came to use perfectly healthy, well socialized and has turned out to be a wonderful little guy. We were amazed at how quickly he adapted and what a great personality he had. I spoke with Jeff many times and exchanged numerous emails. Often he had 'cookie cutter' type responses, but overall I learned what I needed to know.

I'm sure others here have also bought puppies from Jeff Dane before really knowing more about him and reading the numerous negative posts about him on YT. If we decide to get another Yorkie, I can assure you it wouldn't be from him, but again, my experience was 100% positive.

LoL at the aerial shot. How did wanting a pic of where the pups are raised turn into a pic HIGH up in the air. That just cracks me up. I think it is obvious he is avoiding the question.

In response to the issue of meta tags. Most of the major search engines have either been penalizing a site for this type of spam or just ignoring the keywords tag completely.

This guy obviously has no idea how to optimize a web site - which is a good thing in my opinion. I don't believe anybody can properly take good care of that many dogs. At one time I did have 3 dogs, and they were a lot of work. I do work from home most of the time, so I do have more time than many people, but I can't imagine giving that many dogs the attention they need.

Now I have two dogs. One yorkie and a pomeranian mix. They are my only kids, and it still is a lot of work.

Here is my email too him, I thought I sent it earlier but it didnt go through I guess, so I re-sent him something

Hi, I was interested in one of your pups but I have some questions about your breeding responsibilities.

The first thing I'm wondering is why you are selling "teacup yorkies" when there is no such thing. Your "teacup" yorkies do not even meet AKC standards, but you are charging soo much more for them! Why is this?

I was also wondering what you are breeding the yorkies with? I think you forgot to mention what they are mixed with on your pups page.

Half monkey, half yorkie--SNORT!!! That is a good description of those poor, homely, inexplicably raccoon-masked little puppies.

There has been at least one other poster here who got her dog from him, and she sd. that her experience was also positive. But I have to say, I think sometimes animals, like children, have very resilient spirits, and can come out of really horrible situations ready to play and love. I know that I recently adopted a yorkie out of a highly UNideal environment, and without going into details, let's just say that I was VERY worried about her resulting personality and socialization. I've been so pleasantly surprised at what a terrific, loving, well-adjusted little doll baby she is.

So like you say, it doesn't justify the way that these dogs are being bred and raised, but I'm so happy for you that in YOUR case you haven't had to have the regrets that I've heard from others. Jaxon is a TERRIFIC looking yorkie, and congratulations on getting to add such a healthy and happy boy to your life!!!

They ALL look soo sad and so miserable.....How aweful....GRRRRRRR

[KristiC]

What is up with him letting that Yorkie carry that snake in her mouth!!!!
This man needs to be stopped and at once! I hope and pray more people will see this thread and not buy from that Breeder!

[whispersmom2]

For someone who is really good at searching on the internet, there is I BELIEVE, a site of complaints about this breeder. I have never dealt with him except for years ago asking what guidelines he used to call a Yorkie a T-cup since the breed standard is only one weight and size. I surely got my come-uppance about ignorant people writing stupid questions and he didn't have to answer such nonsense. That is not word-for-word but the gist of the message..

Hey everyone is entitled to make "mistakes." I bought Baby in a petstore...but I know the truth about petstores now!

PS. I'm not saying either of our furbaby purchases were mistakes, cuz I'm sure we wouldn't trade them for the world...but I'm sure you know what I mean.

I'm surprised he even has pet Yorkies! How can you have pets, and have the other ones in a kennel?

[JiggityJig]

That's the thing....as has been pointed out, he DOES seem to know about yorkies, and there is actually some good care info, etc., on his site.

On some level I do think that they enjoy yorkies, and that's how they started breeding them...but somewhere along the line, the lure of $$$ was too great, and that's when they started breeding for the super tinies, and brokering poor quality "yorkies" to uninformed buyers.

[please note: that is ENTIRELY just my speculation at work. The above is not based on anything I know for a fact, or have even heard as a rumor. I'm just trying to figure out how someone gets to that point. How he LIVES with himself....that's another mystery entirely.]

Anyone who reads a lot of sites made by reputable breeders could write up a good and believable care page. I don't think that proves anything considering how sad all of his puppies look.

ok...he sent me a picture of he and his wife (i quess) from 2003. he is still avoiding the question on how they are raised...in house?...or kennel? here he is......he looks so happy
