Brush Creek Kennel Investigation

whats a good brand of dog food?????

[sammiz]

I am going to try to find one that doesn't do animal testing. I have just ordered samples from http://www.healthypetnet.com/Healthy...aspx?realname=

Go there and have a look around. After I found out about that Iams thing, I am actively trying to avoid any product that brings harm to animals in any way.

I think we should discuss this on another thread. Start one in Yorkie Health and Diet and we can go further.

Well I am feeding my puppies Iams right now but I am going to get another brand because that made me sick to know that thats happening to those poor dogs

I'm just wondering what kind is good for them??

I just started a thread in health and diet. Check in there to see any response.

I thought I saw on here somewhere, that someone said they lived close to Brushy Creek. they had a google search. Have you gone out there?

IMO .... the breeder at least has opportunity to study the line and try to breed for quality!! The broker is basically buying a "pig in a poke" by knowing nothing whatsoever about the ancestry of the pup and is an uncaring scumbag interested in nothing but the money!!

I just got back from seeing my kids this weekend and got a couple of email from Jeff Dane. He asked me to post the first one and I am going to go ahead and post the second one too. I asled him if he was sure he wanted my to post it and he retrurned my email and said yes. After talking to him in a couple email I am leaning towards agreeing with Villette on this one. Here are his emails.


I hate to say this because I want to see the best in people, but many of the people posting on Yorkie talk are like animal terrorist. Talking about getting guns, saying people should be shot, posting things they have no first hand knowledge about just to get attention. For what, because some people run a legal business in America that they don't like, they don't agree with? Why would they spend so much time on just a few select small breeders when literally there are thousands involved? Why don't they focus their efforts on big puppy brokers like Hunt or Lambriar? Places that buy thousands of puppies from puppy mills, then sells them to pet stores. These are the places that keep puppy mills in business. Those are the places that fuel this sick puppy, puppy mill mentality that makes the Yorkietalk pack taste blood in the water. You posters are like Piranha's, one taste of blood and none of you can control your mouths no matter who you libel. You would not continue this behavior if your name, address, and phone number were included in your posts. There will come a day when you will not be able to hide behind a screen name where you think you have immunity. PETA has killed hundreds of kittens and puppies and was caught on tape doing it, dumping their little bodies in dumpsters,,,, now there is the outrage on Yorkietalk? Many Asian countries kill, skin and eat dogs, where is the outrage on Yorkietalk? It makes me ill to see this on the news.

Here, there are over 1.5 Million dog breeders listed on Google, why does the Yorkietalk group only attack a few;

Once this Fox 26 news person is gone and he will be after sweeps month, the chatter will die down. He right now he is Yorkietalk's shinning light, their champion and that is also how he sees himself. He lives for the attention he is getting off the Yorkietalk website, but this will only be temporary. He can only do so much to legal industry where thousands of people are employed, he will not be making anyone close their doors, that is the job of the USDA. He is just using the Yorkietalk posters to get the hype he needs for his current news piece which in time will also fade away.

And here is the second one. After reading it I can see that like he says he isnt a monster and does do the best for the dogs he has. I have never been there so I am trusting that he is telling the truth and will give him the benefit of the doubt. It seems he has been checked out by numerous authorities and has been given the thumbs up by all of them so that being said, here is his second email.


Yes, please post it. I am not a monster, I hate to see videos of poor animals stuck in cages all their life's, many never having human interaction. I saw the puppy mill video link on U-tube and it just made me sick.

I agree totally with you about Brushy Creek, but to lump all breeders in their court is wrong. To say I'm a puppy mill when I don't even had 1 complaint with the BBB, I just had the SPCA, the County Humane officer and the Sheriffs dept. out here 2 weeks ago,,, they said it was the best kennel they had ever seen. I place pups to new owners right here in the middle of my kennel operation, I even have people sit right down on the kennel floor to play with the pups. My floors stay that clean.

Thank you Barb, I hope on the bigger scale of animal abuse we all can make a difference.

I don't know about you, but I don't think Jeff Dane is a bad guy at all. I've never been out to his place nor do I know anything about him and his kennel but he seems to me like a decent guy, I went to his website and his puppies look really cute and clean (he even has cute bows on there head) So I really think we should all just stick to the brushy creek puppymill subject and not include this Jeff Dane guy.

[ArielsMom]

I am with you on that Woofsheperd...I don;t think Jeff Danes is a bad guy either and personally his puppies look adorable! I love the tinies, teacups, itty bitties or whatever you want to call them . I also love the bigger teapots . It is Bushy Creek that really has the complaints.

What kind of food is good for puppies? Hence I am in the middle of trying to figure this out, I previously had Iams until I saw that link and I will no longer be feeding them that crap, Please if anyone has any suggestions before tomorrow I'd like to know so I can start my babies on the right food.

[cj125]

Are you all kidding me??? He sells puppies for up to $10,000 - Come on! I don't know about the conditions there - never claimed to - but that is a ridiculous price and you all know it! That isn't a reason to shut him down, no... but it isn't right.

He is right about one thing... Hunte Corp is the biggest puppy mill/broker there is and they do need to be shut down. Have you been to their site? Did you read how they let puppies die in a semi-trailer?

Thank you for sharing this, Barb... I now have a new prospective.
