Wow! I just came across this thread. I can't believe this guy he has over 90 puppies for sale on his site. And the rescue dogs are probably just his breeding females that he can't use any more. This is horrible.

This is a GOOD OLE BOY TOWN and everyone there loves him. We have been threatened suit so I must keep low. My daughter bought one of his dogs and has gone to his home...We will keep trying to shut this down...Thats all I can say...

Well, I have had family in the Bonham, Dodd City area all of my life. I would NEVER live there again. I can't say that I think the authorities there are corrupt, but....you might question why I don't live there any more. My family can trace its roots back to pioneer days in that area.

Be VERY careful!

I peeked in on his site and thought for a minute it had to be the same pictures he had up before. But I guess it is the same outfits and props. He has "teacups" listed from $650 to $7500! Some of the price differences don't seem to make any sense at all.
Other red flags:
--no pictures of parent dogs,
--way too many puppies for anyone to raise with any sense of compassion,
--more emphasis put on teacup size than any other characteristic,
--health guarantee & help with papers denied to anyone wanting to breed,
--suggesting puppies be allowed to eat anything,
--each listing says "registered teacup" or "registered toy yorkie" -- doubt any are registered AKC. There are registries out there that will register anything, even dogs without papers on their parents, for a fee. But I don't know of any that register yorkies as teacup. All yorkies are considered in the toy category.
--also sells mixed breeds (for very little $$ too, which makes one wonder if they were just puppies that came out not looking like they were supposed to and maybe the security of females only being bred by one male might not be all that great. After all, if he could make so much more on purebreds, why mix them?)

Is there an anti-puppymill organization that might want to put up a billboard near this guys operation?

Good luck and I so hope you are successful! He is notorious for threatening lawsuits against those that speak out about him.

This has been going on since 2006. There is so much territory in Texas that one of those Good Ole Boys could make a person disappear...

Posting all this info on here may not shut him down but it sure helps keep the rest of us from supporting him. I've actually got his site bookmarked as a possible breeder but have held off contacting him because of the "teacup" advertising and the fact that he always seems to have so many babies available.
Thank you all for putting the word out and may he one day get what he truly deserves.
