I think you have a good idea. It's sure worth a try.

this is just ridiculous. i cannot believe that some people are so naive. He has way way too many dogs for one. so where are they all? stuck in little wire cages to pop as many babies out as they can before they die? yuck these people make me sick and I hope that just ONE Person out there lurking will turn their backs and run if looking into one of these puppies

I have to agree with pretty much everyone on this thread. When I was looking for a puppy, his site came up and of course I looked. It wasn't the price that shocked me so much. It was the look of the puppies. Granted, I was looking for a dark colored yorkie....but his just didn't look healthy to me. He would try to dress em up with their lil bows in their hair,to disguise the sadness in their lil faces. But that didn't fool me. I still seen it. Maybe that is the reason why people pay his HIGH prices. They must feel sorry for those furbabies.
Again I think this whole thing boils down to educating the public about this kinda thing.I have said this over and over..getting the word out there about these irresponsible breeders might put a cramp in their breeding. Reminds me of gas prices. One place its this price..down the street it's higher and around the corner, it's at an all time highest. ( and it's all the same thing!!!!)

I came across his site when I was searching for a small male. For those who have only looked at the pups, take a look at their facilities. Although it appears very clean, it bothers me that there are so many and all the cages. If he isn't a puppy mill, I don't know what is.

we had a prev post about him and i emailed him. he did respond but refused to advise me where these puppies are being raised. when i cont asked, he just said, " bye...have a nice life" he never answered my question if they are raised in a home or kennel. so i quess my answer, they are rasied in a puppy mill.

They are. :thumbdown :thumbdown He buys cheap - sells high.

I was just thinking this morning....Doesn't Susan Wornik from channel 5 do investigative reporting? I am going to see if I can find this bas***ds address and send it along to her telling her some of the stories. Maybe by the grace of God just by her checking into him (probably wouldn't shut down his business but,) would educate people and let them see exactly how he keeps his animals. Maybe people would stop buying from him....What do you all think?

This site has some posts BY Jeff Dane himself - http://www.faqs.org/qa/qa-7107.html and also... people who said their puppies died too. :(

and really ...look at this payment page - This says it all

This guy is insane!! I read some of the posts...I think alot of people just buy yorkies because they are a small breed. I feel the media has alot to do with this since...Paris Hilton and little Tinkerbell! Now everybody wants a "purse puppy" and will do anything to get one and paying his outrageous $$$, forgetting that they need different care then a larger breed. Anyone that questions me about Sadie I tell them...Do ALOT of research on the breed before you decide on a small dog. There is NO SUCH THING AS A TEACUP!! Why is it so hard for people to understand this! This is just a way of asking ridiculous $$$ for a breed that is a toy breed to begin with....That's why I say EDUCATE yourself on the breed and the breeder. There is sooo much talk out there (especially here on YT) about BYB, and Puppymills you would think people would stop buying and supporting these places...
Does he live anywhere near you V??? I am going to his site to check for an address...I don't remember seeing one there. If you know where he is would you let me know...I am going to e-mail Susan Wornik...maybe if we get the word out there people will stop buying from him...Or maybe they will stick him in a wire cage and shut the door!

I agree. His pups always looks so blank and lifeless. It's just heart breaking. :(

Hey Brenda - he isn't near me but someone I know went there - they said what they saw was overwhelming. He's a SALESMAN.

Lucky for them - they were smart enough to leave but did say that the guy is Slick like Oil.

Here's his info page - check out the picture - http://jdane1.homestead.com/payment.html

Can you say this guy has gotten rich selling all these puppies or what ? It's no wonder he doesn't give a Da*n about them after they leave his facility.

GREAT! I see his address...I am going to send it along to channel 5...let's see what happens! Thanks V!

the sad thing is...
 

There's someone who's posting abour Yourpup.com
 

I Did It!!
 

I just sent a e-mail to the investigative team at channel 5!!! I will let you know what the response is...I'm sure they have done segments on puppymills before but, the only way to shut them down is to keep exposing them!!!

First of all I would never have a puppy flown to me...I think it is stressful enough just leaving Mom....never mind flying...Also....I thought they came with health guarentees? These people just plain S**K!

I was thinking that maybe we could get something started like some people who are upset with Chase Bank.

Get some URLs and make a web page stating the history of the compaints from people who bought from him.

Then we could put the URL in some Yorkie web rings and get it to spider into the search engines?

I am not sure if we could do this but its an idea.

Maybe we caould call it "The don't buy your Yorkie from website"

I've talked to others who said pretty much the same thing as you. If they started asking questions, he would not answer them and would be rude. All they were doing was asking the normal questions that anyone would ask a "breeder" when buying a puppy. People have a right to ask these questions before buying a dog from him, especially with the high prices he's asking.

I've read from so many people how rude he is. I don't for one minute believe he is good to those puppies. If he can't be nice to people buying from him, then I doubt he treats those puppies good at all. I don't consider him a breeder, he's a puppy mill.

WOW!!! You go girl!!! :happyboun

I think he is just nice to the unexperienced "this is my first yorkie" people.

Oh this is sad.

poor little puppies!!!
 

Jeff D*** is located in Tx. Don't they film Animal Cops (Animal Planet) in Tx.? Can't somebody log a complaint with them and have them arrest those mean :mad: guys and rescue the puppies???

maybe he can be reported here

http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer...rchEnforcement

I say good for you also!:thumbup: Their site says one of them lives in Bonham, Tx and the brother is in Dodd City,TX. Not sure where dodd City is but Bonham is just about 60 miles north of me. I will also contact the TV stations and see if they will investigate. This is shocking!:eek:

This is straight from Jeff Danes' site:

We don't do AKC dog shows or follow any AKC standards, but we do breed & raise what people want, and that is loving, Teacup, Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive, puppies!

Gee, that pretty much says it all. Some of his pups break your heart!

I spoke to him on the phone to inquire about his yorkie puppies. I asked him if he had any males who would be 4 lbs. fully grown (give or take a pound), that were $800-$1,100. He scoffed at me and said, "Your not going to find a yorkie anywhere that small for that price!". And I told him "Well actually, my tucker is 9 months and just barley over 3 lb.s and he should be 4 pounds fully grown, and I paid $800 for him". Then do you know what he said to me?!?:mad: "Can I buy him from you". I was so shocked it took me a minute or two too respond, and I shouted "No you cannot! Why would I sell my dog to you?" and he said "Well if you won't sell your dog to me, then why would I sell you my dog for $800-$1,100?" . What type of reasoning is that? I had to hang up the phone, before I lost my religion.

Umm, maybe because his business is selling dogs and your dog is your pet? Jeez, he doesn't sound too stable!

Exactly! He must be crazy! What type of breeder says that to a potiential owner of one of their puppies?

I just emailed the investigative depts of channels 8, 11, and 4...all Dallas area tv stations here which cover the metro area including Bonham..where the pet mill is located. I also found the email address of Becky Oliver, an investigative reporter for channel 4. This woman is awesome when it comes to investigating and following through to the end. I gave her a link to our thread so she can read what's going on. I've watched on tv where they've shut down puppy mills before. Hope it does some good...will let you know if I hear anything.
