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).

Thank you and goodnight, Kellyn.

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!!

I sent off an email to the attorney general.....hopefully there will be alot of complaints, so we can get him closed down!!

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)

There'll be people to help you when you're ready to search - right now you sound like you have your hands full. Good luck. I really get sad hearing about what should be a happy time for someone turning into a heartbreak.

Oh my - I never even THOUGHT of doing such a thing. I wonder if the OP could ask her vet to call and talk to the vet who originally checked the dog. Perhaps there would be a difference in weight? Coloring?

This man is obviously running scared now if he's bothering to threaten you.

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!

Kellyn,

Send me a message! Either PM or email..

Kellyn,
I have not dealt with Jeff Dane, but I may know people who know him. His ranch is like five miles from my family's ranch. (I don't live there) I have lawyers ALL over Fannin county in my family. Feel free to PM me.

But this is my first suggestion...PLEASE write a breeder review in the breeder review section of this site! It won't get lost in a lot of posts there and will be the first place most people search on here if they are looking for a puppy.

Stephen · 08-10-2007, 08:05 PM

I just looked at that site. Why in god's name are some of his "tea-cup" yorkies upwards of 7-10 thousand dollars? What determines such an outrageous price?

Charging an exorbitant price makes people think they are worth more?

My boyfriend and I just got done reading this thread, fully-and we are sick-this guy is an idiot-to say the least. Anyways.. My boyfriend found him on RipOffReport.com search Jeff Dane or yorkiepup.com. There are probably so many websites he is being slammed on, so can you imagine all the people who have bought a puppy from him and aren't on the internet?? im so sorry this happened to you. but you have tons and tons of people ready to help you, however you need it. sorry again. we will keep you in our prayers-let us know if you need anything!!

AVERYxo · 08-10-2007, 08:48 PM

oh yeah also.. i had seen his website a while back and first thing i thought was shadyyyy-just cuz of the way he was displaying his pups-but something that really irritated me for some reason was when i saw he had put "discount"(in big red letters) on a couple of the puppies. who does that..especially when they were still babies and they were on a long list of other puppies. so weird-hope this guy gets what he deserves AND SOON!!! i can only imagine what he looks/acts like-eeeew i get pissed just thinking about that sick man(and his wife for that matter)

Yorkiekids · 08-11-2007, 12:31 AM

Sorry you were taken in by such a bad breeder.

Wylie's Mom · 08-11-2007, 04:30 AM

Kellyn - I'm so pleased you're still moving w/ this! I will use the addresses you provided to write some letters. Also - did you see JUDY IN WACO's post - she may have some very good assistance for you! Please keep updating and let me know how I/we can help!

Amberleighsmom · 08-11-2007, 07:02 AM

I am so proud of you taking a stand against this horrible situation. You are young, but very savvy! There is no need to back down when you stand for something you know is right. If people are so upset about Michael Vick and his dogfighting, how can people not be upset about fraud and the abuse of many animals for profit?
