Brush Creek Kennel Investigation

[MissLola]

Wow. I missed the Inside Edition report, but this whole thing is coming crashing down fast on Mr. Moore. Bummer.

I think what will happen is he'll just high tail it back to Ireland and start up a puppy mill there, if he doesn't already have one.

Good luck!

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

Hey, I'm trying to tell people I bought a Cavalier from this man and I am new to this website, how do you work the stupid thing>??? Connie Is anybody seeing my replies?

Hello all,
Sorry that I've been out of pocket. Haven't had much time away from my research lately. We are right in the middle of the big February ratings period (also known as "sweeps"), so things are crazy right now. But I thought I would post in the wake of Inside Edition's story.

I thought it was an excellent story on a national stage. With the national Humane Society involved in their report, we plan to pursue that angle locally. We have already taped several new interviews and plan to air the next part of our series within ten days or so. I wish we had time to interview every person who has emailed or called me with these appalling stories. That is why we are producing more stories for this report. The response has been overwhelming. I will let everyone know as soon as there's a concrete date.

More info on Inside Edition: While it was a comprehensive report that lasted at least 3 or 4 minutes (an eternity in the news business), I know for a fact that time constraints forced them to leave a lot of their stuff on the cutting room floor. Ordinarily, it would be a real risk to attempt to have a dog shipped to a news organization. Here's why: Obviously, if 20% of the dogs shipped from a kennel are sick or dying, that would be way too many and newsworthy. A news organization cannot afford to keep ordering dogs until they get a sick one. It would be time-consuming and expensive. Their producer learned from research (as I did) that such an incredible percentage of dogs from Brushy Creek are shipped in poor condition, that they would only have to purchase one dog to prove their point. They KNEW that they would be getting a dog in horrendous condition and not the age promised. These are the same complaints I have heard over and over and over and over. As those of you who were approached by Inside Edition know, there was much more behind the story that they simply couldn't fit in the report.

How bad serious is the Brushy Creek situation? In Houston, we air our biggest stories from around southeast Texas on the news during February sweeps. Inside Edition is in the same boat. The difference: They pick from the biggest stories from across the country and they deemed the Brushy Creek Kennel to be important enough to tell during this time of year. When the ratings come in, 5 million people will have seen the story on Inside Edition. That's a powerful platform. If anyone has the ability to capture the video to a weblink, I suggest they do it. Me? Posting on this website is about as tech-savvy as I get. Sorry. You can see a good description of the story here:
http://www.insideedition.com/ourstor...px?storyid=598

Sorry for another long post. I will have more updates soon. Oh, and as always, we are still ready and eager to air Mr. Moore's side of the story. Perhaps some day he will come forward.

Thank you so much for explaining all this - it's interesting hearing the inner workings of a tv show and you've been great about the updates & worked hard to get this to air -

and you're right ...it was amazing they sold a sick puppy to Inside Edition but didn't surprise me either - thanks to you ..maybe it will stop or at least get better for the dogs and people who buy them.

If anything - people will be alot more aware that just seeing a cute puppy on the net does NOT mean that's what you'll actually get when dealing with some breeders...especially a place that has 10 different websites and sells hundreds of dogs.

I found that you can purchase a copy of Inside Edition stories.

Here:

I don't know if you have to wait until it is archived or not.

[CO_yorkie_momma]

Fox News,
Are you guys thinking about maybe visiting Jeff Danes Puppymill since they are in Texas too while you are doing stories for the series?

[yorkiegirl83]

I tivo'd it.. I'll ask my fiancee to see if he knows how to pull it from the tv.. and then I could send dvds to anyone who missed it/wants one.. I'll let you all know

[Ms. Porkchop]

I'm recording Inside Edition to my PC now as it's airing. Once it's done I'll upload it and post it here.

Have you tried the link above? It goes right to the story for me.

David Moore is incorporated. None of this will affect him personally. But...have a look at the BBB report on him:
