Brush Creek Kennel Investigation

Anyhow, I don't see how there IS much of another side to the story. Countless testimonials of sick animals and a horrible response from the breeder to their issues is proof enough for me. ANY responsible breeder VALUES their clients AND their dogs and would fix any and all issues that came up before it got to this magnitude.

People that only breed for the quick cash are simply greedy puppy millers and the sad part is the people that pay the price are the owners of these dogs who suffer horrible heartbreak and the DOGS who are prisoners of poor breeding and limited life spans often times filled with pain and suffering.

I'd be surprised if that kennel even attempted to defend themselves anyhow.. if it really IS that bad.. there would be no way in hell they'd let cameras in there.

Ok here was the question
"The reason I ask is because you have never posted about owning one, never asked a question about one, never answered anyone elses question about them or never shown a picture of your yorkies."

First:As you can see she said "Never shown a picture" so there is your reference.
So I answered her question and then expanded.
Second: There is always another side of the story. So let us hear it right wrong or indifferent it will be out there in the whole.
Third: Give the kennel an opportunity to defend itself if they don't well then. How do you know they won't let cameras in? if not HUM!
Go figure it would be complete then and would add credibility to the whole thing.
I swear I did not know that wanting the whole story would offend so may of you.

daisysis,
here is what FOX said
"Cross-post away! The more publicity the better! And I have exchanged emails with Fifi and we're working to set up an interview soon. Thanks again, Villette! And I should be at the station for the interviews so I look forward to seeing you then.

We now have a tentative date (everything in TV is tentative) for the Brushy Creek story: Tuesday, February 20th. That's after American Idol with a huge audience. Kudos to our news director for showing so much interest and faith in this story to give it such a prime viewing spot.

And that picture of Gracie wasn't as staged as it appears. I was watching TV with her on my sofa last night and looked over at her in that exact pose and just had to reach for my camera-phone. Thus, no flash with low resolution, but still a funny picture."

More updates to come!!

David

Who's offended ? You seem to keep coming back to this thread to try to get people to respond to you....I just see you saying the same thing over and over - we get it ....

As far as the news and the report - ANY kind of media attention that helps dogs is a good thing - I'm sure Fox news will be fair in their report. It's no different than you & the llama's I bet if the news wanted to interview you - you'd have been right there for the camera because you feel wronged -

well - so do those people.

I am responding to people who are questioning me isn't that how these work? I know I keep saying the same thing over and over because everyone keeps questioning why I am interested in both sides. I was there when the camera was there and I would have loved for the other person involved to be interviewed by the media too so I could have seen what was going through their sick head. I am confused aren't you suppose to respond to people on here who respond to your post? If not I will quit posting

[red98vett]

LOL keep posting ...it's keeping this at the top of General Discussion and who knows - maybe someone else will see this & contact the media

and for the record - I did NOT race down to fox to be interviewed - I did NOT buy a dog from them and felt the focus should be on people who did

I have read all the bad things people have posted in here and I would be interested in hearing the other side also. I am hoping Fox 26 would also want their story do show this. But alas the media never seems to get both sides of the story or the story is not 100% correct. I know this from first had experience when my llamas (2 babies & 1 adult) were killed two years ago. The adult was attacked & mauled by a pit bull and two babies were shot in the head. One news group made me look like the bad guy for shooting the pit bull that just killed my full grown llama and they asked me how I thought the owner of the pit bull felt seeing his pit bull hung on my fence.
This is close to my own back yard so I have alot of interest in this matter.

Hmm....., I would like to hear the other side of the story, so far we have only read your side which sounds to be the happy side of the story because the way you say you killed the dog makes you sound like you are so proud of what you did.

[MissLola]

In my opinion, this story doesn't need two sides to it. We know there are many, many sick puppies that have been sold by these people and those who have physically been there can attest to the fact that they have way too many dogs. They don't deserve to have their side told. What would be the point? The simple fact is, they have sold horribly ill puppies, many of which have died. That alone is enough to warrant an investigation like this. I truly hope they are shut down as a result of this story, and if they aren't, enough people will know about them that it should severely hurt their business.

[Doodlebug]

Maybe Fox will invite the breeder/owner to respond.

Where I live the news shows stories all the time where a consumer feels like they were cheated by a big business. Even if it's only one customer out of thousands and thousands. They usually end the story saying that they contacted the business owner and refused to comment, or something like that. This seems fair to me.

The only thing I did was mention a past post. SO SORRY. If Fox does cover both sides of the story and meet with this David guy what if he lets them in the kennel and they get film on it they will see what his kennel is all about? If not then people will see that your side of the story is more accurate. So you see both sides of the story will add credibility to your side. Sorry for being a person who wants to see it from all angles

Well I wasn't trying to be a prick or anything SORRY. Its just that I had 2 dogs from there and BOTH where extremely sick and 1 died after I returned it. I am really angry about this experience and I hope that someone that will be listening to the investigation that is looking for a dog will turn around and RUN! Also, I hope all there dogs get taken away, I as well as others never got to see the kennel (the sire and dam) of the puppies they were selling so that right there is a warning, also fox 26 went in with hidden cameras and they were not even allowed in the kennel area. So if it is that great of a place then why do they not let you go back there???? I think they are trying to hide all there sick animals.

[woofshepherd]

And to answer another of your questions dobiedude, I heard from someone that use to work at the place and told us they had 500+ dogs of multiple diffrent breeds there, and yes I can tell (estimated guess) how many dogs I could hear inside that home on BOTH occasions. Why after sooo many sick dogs you would think that the guy would do something about it and take care of his dogs but he doesn't all he cares about is collecting money from the dogs he doesn't care if they're sick or not just as long as they can pump out puppies that what he's all about, he doesn't care about the people who buy his puppies either, he is a very rude and demented individual.

[CO_yorkie_momma]

Dobie,
You keep saying this is in your own backyard so can you explain that? Please tell us how close your backyard is to Davids. You can guess in feet or miles. Also are you and David hunting partners? Just curious.

[yorkiegirl83]

Dobie, no one attacked you IMO. I get that you want "both sides of the story", but I just don't see the need for their side. They've clearly sold sick puppies in large quantities and have proven themselves in my mind to be nothing other than a puppymill. Even if FOX news doesn't get their side, it should be clear from the testimonials of people w/sick and dead dogs purchased from him that he's no good. Regardless, I'm sure FOX will be fair in their story and I'm SURE that the kennel will be reached for a comment.

[JCarlson2004]

In my opinion, there is no need for hundreds of examples of sick and dead dogs. If ANY breeders allow 1 dog to leave him sick and/or it dies and he isn't concernced and makes no efforts to even help the family who has the sick pup, then (in my opinion) he is unethical and an awful breeder. A reputable breeder should care about ALL his/her dogs before and AFTER that have gone to their new home.

[CO_yorkie_momma]

My guess is Fox has more than just the 6 or so bad experiences posted here. They wouldn't be taking the time to do all of this investigating and putting the segment in a prime spot during sweeps after American Idol if were only 6 people. I dont think people are attacking you, it just amazes me that you would stand up for someone that had broken so many hearts and sold so many sick dogs. Even if they sold hundreds of good dogs, the fact still remains there are way too many sick and dying ones and that is reason for concern. I am sure Brushy Creek will get their chance to defend themselves. Everyone here would just love to hear their side of why they sell sick and dying dogs. I truely do hope they get both sides so we can see how they justify what they are doing. We arent attacking you, we are attacking them so why are you taking it personally?

[neersyorkies]

Some Year's ago as i was looking to buy my Yorkie's i went to my Vet. and asked if there was any one in my area who sells or breeds Yorkie's . And i was told not to buy a puppy from " Brushy Creek Kennel "- David Moore .
Because the puppies are in bad shape and very ill , so it is known in the Waller/ Magnolia area that this is not a good place to get your new familymember . I just hope that Fox 26 News get's the word out and many people will be saved from the heardbreak and pain of loosing a puppy/familymember .
And how can anyone justify a puppymill ????
