Here is just something to think to think about. Puppy mills and bad breeders are at times big stories in the media.
What if people started sending e-mails to USA Today, CNN & 20/20. Share the stories that have been on the forum and from anyone that you know.
That maybe the only way to stop this one.

I am so truly sorry for the most recent victims of that breeder.

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.

He's a greedy greedy broker/breeder - I really don't know what to call him. He's had yorkies for 10 grand on his site...this isn't the first. There is a member here that did get a yorkie from him who is fine and she's posted her experience - which for her, was a good one.. but too many other people weren't as lucky as she was ...which is where his bad reputation comes from.

People are just getting RIPPED OFF By him and his prices. I hate to say this... but most of his yorkies don't even look healthy - they look sad and scared and they aren't the best representation of the breed by far. How he can get away with what he charges is nuts.

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. 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?

[red98vett]

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.

[red98vett]

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!

[blondflava]

...that someone IS going to pay that money to own the 'novelty'. And that should be the last person such a puppy should go to... But what can we do? As long as there's demand, there's the market. Way to go with the email!

[blondflava]

There's a thread from someone who got a puppy from the same company and pup died 2 days after being shipped.Now they demand the money back but the 'breeder' says no. The pup had very low sugar level and went into seizures almost instantly after getting off the plane. Poor things...

[BLowry]

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!!!
