She said that Jeff had brought my puppy by the afternoon before his flight and that he seemed okay? However, I took him for a general wellness exam the very same day he arrived and he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection/bacterial infection, which he was prescribed Clovomox for. She did in fact tell me though, that she has had 2 other calls recently that have been clients of Jeff's with dead puppies on their hands too...INTERESTING! Obviously, she was not able to release their names or info. Also, got a call back from the SPCA of TX. I was teaching one of my swim lessons to a group of kids and was unable to answer. The woman who left me a message (Courtney) said to call 214-461-1850 OR go to www.SPCA.org and file an online complaint. I have done both of those today:0) I have also reviewed the Inside Edition piece that a TX FOX26 news reported David did a few months back on another puppy mill kennel in TX by the name of Brushy Creek Kennels...glad to say that that website is no longer operating YEA:0) I am doing everything in my power to contact him. All your letters to the BBB will help me, along with letters to the TX State Attorney General (his contact info listed below).

So, once I'm settled around the 22nd in my apartment and have a stress-free enviroment for a puppy, does someone know of some cute yorkie/yorkie mixed pups or their breeder in the MA area? Unfortunately, I have larned that buying dogs on the internet is scandalous at best and that the word tea-cup insn't a safe bet... so, as a well knowledged pet owner now, I would like to go meet my puppy and see his enviroment and meet the breeeder personally. My heart is so broken and I cry almost daily over my first pet, who happened to be that little angel Capone sent by Jeff Dane...everyone is telling a new puppy will help to ease that sadness. if you know of any decent breeders back in that area with reasonable prices, please send me their contact info. THANKS:0)

Is there any possibility that he is taking different pups into the vet then he is shipping?? I have no experience with shipping puppies, so I don't know if anything like this is even possible.

But how is a dog perfectly healthy at one vet & later in the day so sick at another vet's??? I realize the plane ride can be difficult, but the conditions you are desribing do not add up.

Like I said in an earlier post - I LOVE YOUR TENACIOUSNESS!!

Hello again everyone:0) Once again, let me express my thanks to so many of you that have offered your help and prayers today...it means the absolute world to me.
So, I have decided that the easiest way to strike attention/help from the surrounding media and news organizations is to write a formal complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) of Dallas. The Dallas branch happens to be the closest one to Dodd City, TX, which is where Jeff Dane is running his puppy mill. This is where I need all of your help, just because you didn't purchase your pup from him or his bogus website,, doesn't mean you can't help flag a possible puppy mill situation. You can write an email to the BBB of Dallas @ www.dallas.bbb.org OR you can call them and make a complaint @ 214-220-2000 (between the hours of 9:00am-3:00pm). I also am having a very hard time getting ahold of the ASPCA in TX. I have called 2 days in a row and left messages...anyone who could also call and possibly leave a message or talk to a rep would aide me tremendously, that number is: 214-742-7722. Also, I am considering filling a class action civil lawsuit against Jeff, which means if ANY of you have dealt with shady business from Jeff Dane...please, please, please contact me. Remember, sick dogs=big profits for Jeff Dane and that puppy e-mills make animal abuse quick and easy. This type of behavior absolutely must be put to an end.
Sincerely,
Kellyn Crowder

P.S. Never underestimate the power of one!
