    ANOTHER SOLUTION!!!! by the looks of this place they don’t make a lot breeding dogs! think outside the box? maybe everyone should donate to a contractor to build a warm building for them? if the owner didn’t take the donation then that’s a different story! really if everyone made a small donation this would save the dogs, seriously would you donte from your pocket to help these dogs?? someone make it happen I mean if you really care then start a donation!!! I mean this has gone global but no one can help pls come on!!! contact me if you wanna help

    These dogs need to be TAKEN away from her!! 2 dogs have already died! I don’t know WHY people are saying not to buy from her if anything THAT IS THE ONLY WAY to get these poor dogs away from her!!!!!! I am disgusted she keeps them outside like this!!!!!! I’m ready to fucking bang her door down and physically remove every damn dog off her property and tie her outside in the fucking cold!!! Don’t run a business like this if you can’t provide for them you stupid BITCH!!!! Not to mention it’s appalling that she makes profit from BREEDING!!!! When the pet population is already out of control SO MANY ANIMALS are strays and need homes!!!

    Dearest Kathy: I’ve come up with a solution to the problem of the cruel treatment of innocent and loving creatures. I contacted Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotbe at their TV website. They are animal lovers and have taken in rescue dogs. They will get something done. You can rest assured of that. I take in animals myself and God moved me in the right direction. Please have faith that this won’t go on much longer. Your rescue effort will not go without reward. God is in on it now!!!! LOVE, Mary Kelly, 4331 Truman Road, Memphis, TN 38108, e-mail – bkandmary55@gmail.com. Bless YOU in Jesus name, Mary

    Please stop posting this nasty, horrid comments. You are not helping these dogs. Yes, people are angry and upset but there is no need for the garbage that is being posted here. If you want to help and are in the area and most of all, are concerned for the dogs, go and drop off at the edge of the property some food, hay, straw, anything to keep the dogs warm. Just drop it and leave. No nasty notes or comments..if you feel compelled to say anything ..just that it is a belated holiday present for the dogs and that you are concerned about them. These people are under seige and this kind of outrage makes them more isolated and more difficult to negotiate with. We will see who the true dogs lover posting here are. Concentrate on the dogs, put away your outrage and put your hand in your wallet and help the dogs.

    People need to know what they are supporting when purchasing an animal from this place. These people should be in jail! & even then they would have it better then the dogs they claim to love. HELP SAVE these dogs, put these “people” out of business !!

    Can she not even groom her dogs? The shihtzus are in horrendous condition, coats matted terribly, those poor dogs do not belong outside in the snow. If she calls herself a reputable breeder why doesn’t she build a decent building with heat and AC in it?

    Omg, I just saw a comment by someone who bought one of their dogs!!!
    Let me fill you in:
    Any dog you get from anywhere can and will most likely turn out to be an awesome dog if you put in the time and love they deserve!!!
    This is not a credit to the breeding facility, but a credit to the canine species!!!!
    HOWEVER, when you buy a dog from a place like this you are feeding an industry that is equal to human trafficking!
    NO DECENT BREEDER HAS BLUE PLASTIC BARRELS IN THEIR YARD!!!
    I have learned a LOT about Border Collies since adopting one and one of the first red flags about this place is the merles!!! Too much white which is called ‘lethal white’!!! This means a lot of the pups are deaf, blind or both!!!! When a buyer finds out they can’t train their ‘super smart Border Collie’ they may not realize HE CAN’T HEAR THEM…. and he goes to a shelter…. if he’s lucky.
    When the breeder notices they are deaf/blind… what do you think they do with them????
    This place is a disgrace and if anyone wants to pay for a great dog, they should contact Rescues!!!! With just a little patience you can find the perfect dog there!!! Not only will they support you while your new dog is adjusting, they will take them back if it doesn’t work out!!!!
    YES, they will screen you….. which is what a good breeder does, too!!! Placing the right dog in the right home…. equals happy dog, happy family!
    DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM THIS HELL HOLE!!!!! If you do, you are just as guilty for the suffering!!! Contact the local Rescues and they will have some of their dogs eventually 🙁

    Hello, I was looking to purchase a BC. I am planning on training it in agility and show him. I came across some pictures of your the dogs on your land. I am not sure if I want a puppy or adult. One of the dogs that really struck me or caught my interest was a black & white adult, it appears he’s frozen in the snow or the very least freezing while he looks to be yelping and not moving. Now the puppy I was interested in… Well he appears to not be on your property anymore, I heard you wheeled him and another away in a wheelbarrow. Guess I can’t buy him!!
    Now those blue barrels that you have for shelter in this really freezing weather, should I purchase one of those ? I never in my life would have guessed plastic would be good at insulating. WAIT… it’s NOT, but you are a POS breeder and know this due to the fact those animals died and your dogs being so unhappy and blustery cold!
    While your in your trailer and your phone is off the hook, take a minute to evaluate your shitty life, your crappy morals, and your ability to be so cruel to innocent animals. The Lord will deal with you in time. Unfortunately, those babies will most likely die before He does, but He will handle your sorry trashy self!

    It’s true this probably won’t make much difference in the fight against puppy mills, but this will make a HUGE difference in the lives of these dogs and that is ALL that matters right now.

    This person doesn’t care about the poor dogs who are all outside in the snow in subzero weather. Dogs of all ages including puppies. I’d like to see her live outside in one of those pathetic plastic barrels that she uses for houses. It’s very clear that all she cares about is money.

    It’s still so sad in the age we live in to see either ignorant people turn their head to such horrible treatment of animals or to be so dumb to believe this is acceptable! Good god people open your eyes! There are thousands of dogs bring euthanized daily & yet people still support these ‘wanna be business ppl’ raising inbred animals in deplorable conditions. Ugh!!

    How DARE you allow this to go on and on when good loving people are offering to help you get these dogs out of there. YOUR day will come and YOU will be judged by God Almighty and what will you tell Him then?? He already knows you’re a POS and did not show any concern for these freezing animals. I hope you freeze yourself. I seriously thought you would gladly accept the help but no, you’re the boss and would rather see the dogs suffering. YOU will get yours woman!!!!!

    FYI – to those of you that keep saying 2 dogs died. PLEASE stop. The rumor started with a woman posted on Topix that she lives across the street and saw him toss two dog bodies in the wheel barrow. She actually lives down state – NO WHERE near the Flat Creek Farm – so the rumor has been proved to be false. Yes get upset over the condition of the facility – but do not get upset over misinformation and make sure you do not slander these people or the law will be after you.

    DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DUMP. THIS IS A PUPPY MILL. THE TEMPS ARE GOING TO BE 25 BELOW ZERO TOMORROW AND THIS CLOWN HAS NOWHERE TO GO WITH THESE DOGS. IF THEY AREN’T DEAD NOW THEY WILL BE. And what in the hell is wrong with the cops? Call the governor at 518-474-8390 and tell him to sign the legislation that is laying on his desk to prevent this crap.

    I’m praying every animal will be released from this hell on earth. It’s wrong, we have a border collie, it’s too cold here in the Atlanta area for him to be out, He loves outdoors to a point, we didn’t have to say twice , come on in these last few days- it’s too cold anyone realizes that, common sense. It’s also common sense that these are non-caring undesirable people, they don’t care about the welfare or if the dogs did or live, it’s obvious- it’s time the public officials stand up and do something and quit looking weak and become affective to the people they represent. This dire situation needs to be handled and quickly in the animals favor ASAP. It’s also common sense to know that the “alleged” fresh water they have gotten daily,is frozen solid, so no they don’t have water. It’s ridiculous for all of,us,across,the entire US has to read such ridiculous remarks from the police depts. etc. saying this place checks out, no,it,does not! Do the right thing by the beautiful, innocent animals. These people are simply dog abusers, this is not complicated but quiet simple to see by the pictures! Take action now before many die!

    No one that loves their dogs would subject them to this type of treatment. They are nothing more than a commodity for this woman, and I hope someone ties her up to a tree and leaves her out in the frigid weather to die. It’s what she deserves.

    PLEASE, ask for help if you are overwhelmed. You HAVE CREATED A HORRIBLE SITUATION. Your situation could be taken care of if you would reach out for help. What can you possibly be thinking? How would you feel if you or your family were out made to stay on in such brutal conditions? This is animal abuse as serious as the Vick Pit Bull mess.
    Please call your local police or Human Society. There are many people out there who will help you if only to save your dogs. Have some sympathy. Someday you will have to face a Higher Power. You WILL be made to suffer for this.

    THIS STORY ABOUT THOSE POOR INNOCENT BABIES BEING SLOWLY MURDERED IN THE FREEZING SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES HAS GONE VIRAL AND IS SPREADING ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ANIMAL LOVERS THAT KNOW ABOUT WHAT THIS CRIMINAL BREEDER AND THE INCOMPETENT POLICE ARE DOING TO THOSE DEFENSELESS DOGS.

    IF YOU DON’T ALREADY KNOW, THIS STORY HAS BEEN SPREAD TO FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PINTEREST, LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, AND ONLINE NEWS STATIONS. YOU CAN’T HIDE THIS DEBAUCHERY ANYMORE, AND IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME NOW. THE PUBLIC WILL NEVER LET THIS REST, AND YOU KNOW IT.

    I CAN’T WAIT TIL KARMA CATCHES YOU ALL. YOU AND THE PHONY LAW ENFORCEMENT PIGS THAT ARE TOO LAZY AND STUPID TO DEFEND THE INNOCENT.

    You should be ashamed of the conditions you are keeping these dogs in!!!! Why don’t you go and spend the night out in that open climate and see how long you last! It’s disgusting and inhumane and dogs have already died from the cold! Shame on you…. You do not deserve to be around animals… You should be treated the and way!

  29. Susan Hewitt
    January 7, 2014 at 11:49 am ·

    PLEASE IF YOU CARE ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ANIMALS YOU ARE BREEDING BRING THEM INSIDE OR PROVIDE BETTER/WARM SHELTER FOR THEM. YOU LOST SOME AREN’T YOU CONCERNED FOR THE REST? DOESN’T THE DEATH OF TWO MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE NOT PROVIDING THE PROPER CARE FOR THEM IN THIS COLD WEATHER? HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE? IF YOU ARE A GOOD BREEDER THEN YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT LET THEM DIE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED FOR IT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. PRAYERS FOR THE ONES STILL LEFT TO SUFFER AND POSSIBLY DIE.

    You have a lot of nerve advertising like this is such a wonderful breeding facility!!! You live in a dumpy trailer and these dogs are hurt, diseased and living in horrible conditions. Leaving them out to weather the extreme cold we have been experiencing this year. But as with any PUPPY MILL, you make your website look so nice and inviting. YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!

    Any person breeding dogs for profit is doing an injustice to all of society. People who purchase a “pet” from a breeder are worsening this injustice. Our shelters are full of unwanted pets, and we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on capturing, housing, and destroying these unwanted pets……why……so some breeder can make money? The conditions these animals live in is deplorable. I live on a farm, and no the farm animals don’t live in heated barns, but in this extreme cold they are not pastured either. We do all we can to make sure they do not suffer the extremes of weather. Breeders who do small scale breeding for the betterment of the breed are all that should be allowed. Laws regarding breeding must be tightened to protect those that can not protect themselves from greedy breeders.

    Anyone who has eyes can see that this person is sick and does not deserve to be even in the presence of animals. These dogs are dying because they aren’t allowed inside during one of the worst winters we have seen.
    IF IT’S TOO COLD OUTSIDE FOR YOU, THEN IT’S DEFINITELY TO COLD FOR DOGS. Don’t get the naive idea in your head that the fur on an animal protects them from cold like this. You can compare the fur on a Border Collie to that of you walking outside in single digit temps with nothing but long underwear on.
    This person needs to be stopped.

    This is sprakers puppy mill 569 Rappa Rd. Sprakers NY The dog on the left appears to be frozen to the ground. Two dogs died there last night and as quickly as they could someone removed the bodies with a wheel barrow. The police won’t help. They actually have a police officer there to protect the scumbag breeder not to help the dogs. If anyone from NBC news or any news network sees this please send a news crew there and expose this atrocity! There is a picture circulating facebook and the picture is horrid. This place needs to be turned in. It doesn’t allow you on this website to download pictures.

    Please please shut this guy down….he is clearly ill……I have two dogs of my own both rescues and both from breeders just like this one…..they are still the best dogs in the world despite the hell we as humans, supposedly being he smarter species, put them through.

    SHUT THEM DOWN……NEW YORK STINKS…..WE CANT TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE AND HAVE NO REGARD FOR ANY KIND OF LIFE

    If i could safely get in and take the dogs I would – it is our duty as human beings to take care of these animals…..

    Caring breeders do not allow their dogs to live in these horrid conditions and freeze to death. Read the below…scroll to bottom.

    And for those of you who say a plastic barrel on the ground is OK…why don’t you try it? You are beyond stupid.

    I am just so troubled by people throwing the word state standards and what have you around. I have the understanding that state standards do not always put the rights of animals at it’s highest priority. Yes I have owned dogs that lived outside and have some that lived indoors. The fact of the matter is these dogs are considered a money maker and not loving pets. The overhead is kept low so as to make a larger profit. The laws where this is happening is not adequate to keep these dogs from suffering. I hope that these law makers there have every frozen dog and pup put on their door step. I am a person that believes in Karma and I believe they will see the Karma come back.
