Flat Creek Border Collies — We have been breeding BC’s for over 20 years. Our breeding program is designed to promote healthy, happy working and companion animals. Our puppies have very diverse “jobs” and yet are ideally suited to each. We have sold puppies to 14 states and 2 foreign countries. Our genetics are a combination of imported and domestic lineage. We have litters usually available in the spring and fall. We have the following colors: Black, Red, Blue, Merle, Tri, Lilac and Lavender.
Please drive by and view the conditions before considering purchasing a puppy from this breeder.
Sherry. I absolutely agree with your statement about this place, but looks aren’t everything. I have purchased a puppy from this breeder and He is the most gentle and best dog I have ever had. They really know what they’re doing when they breed their dogs.
I love Kathy. She is a great person, she may have a lot of dogs but they are taking care of and their dogs are so gentle, ive adopted alot of them and never ever had a problem with them.
I drive past this house everyday and am disgusted by the deplorable conditions these dogs are kept. They are outside year round no shelter from rain, snow how do kathy and husband sleep at night? These poor dogs recieve no heat and comfort. Id at least feel better if they had a roof over there so called “cages”. you make money off of these dogs why not fix up there living quarters to proper temperature control dog houses that block from wind, heat , snow, rain.
First off, Kathys dogs have shelter. Doyou not see the little white barrels? And that is not her husband. There pens are kept up to standard to laws, start at the laws if you do not like it. She is a wonderfull person. The dog have automatic waters and are fed daily multiple times.
This person does NOT care about her dogs! Right now there are PUPPIES outside freezing to death because her “little white barrels” are NOT adequate shelter. There are probably over 100 dogs and puppies “living” together in this shithole. “Minny Cruella” indeed! She needs to be shut down and charged with animal cruelty!!!
Right now there are puppies as young as 8 weeks old out in the frigid weather at this so called breeder’s house. The photos are all over facebook and the authorities are being contacted. This is a puppy mill and it is horrific that these dogs have no warmth from the frigid cold. We are getting a snowstorm and the temperatures will be near zero. How is a tiny puppy supposed to live in that weather. I hope she gets shut down and banned from breeding. What is wrong with the neighbors and authorities up there to allow this to go on. Puppy mills should be illegal. A good breeder has one or two good dogs and they breed only once a year. This is a puppy factory and dogs do not belong outside in the winter. It is cruel. There is no bedding or hay in the little white plastic covers. This is verified by eyewitnesses TODAY. I hope they are arrested for this. Disgusting.
Anyone who thinks plastic barrels are appropriate living conditions in this cold climate should not have dogs. Period!
She also advertises that the puppies are home raised. How can that be when they are right now out in the freezing cold?
The conditions these dogs are in is inhumane for winter conditions!
Plastic barrels with little straw bedding that is wet.
This place needs to be shut down as viewed by some and there are electric fences surrounding the puppies. Please help to close this place down for the sake of the pups involved and held there.
Please do not buy any dogs from this puppy mill. The owner should be made sleeping in those white barrels. This place needs to be shut down and the owner arrested for animal cruelty.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BREEDER…THE DOGS ARE NOT BEING CARED FOR…THEY ARE OUTSIDE IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPS..HELP SHUT THIS PUPPY MILL DOWN !!..HER E-MAIL NAME SAYS IT ALL !
Seriously? I am disgusted to see how long people have been posting about the deplorable conditions this POS loser who has been abusing these helpless dogs and nothing yet has been done? Where is the dog warden NOW? Ayres, ASPCA, anyone? Do the concerned citizens of Montgomery County have to step in and take action? Local authorities, WTH are you waiting for?
Do NOT buy puppies from this breeder(so called). Anyone who leaves dogs outside in freezing temperatures, including puppies, should be shut down…seriously, barrels to sleep in?
OMG, take her dogs away !
you are POS. you need to be shut down. how dare you let people think you run a proper kennel. LIES LIES LIES. Ive seen your squalor conditions for these dogs n you should go sleep in those losey barrels AND see if you like it. there are plenty of us trying to shut you down and with the grace of Almighty God you will be done!
Have been flooding the news with this story, I hope more people contact the news and they will be on tv.
Strength in numbers.
The judges in New Jersey are now throwing the book at these abusers, and yes they are abusers by leaving these defenseless animals in these conditions.
We have to be their voice!!! Keep the pressure on with calls that is how it is done!!!
WE HAVE TO BE THEIR VOICE!!!
Don’t endorse animal cruelty by buying puppies from this disgusting place. What a disgrace.
I find it extremely suspicious that Eric Bellows has lived near these scumbags for years and is JUST now hearing dogs barking? I want these dogs out of their current situation but For everyone putting trust, faith, and most importantly MONEY, into Eric’s hands, you are doing no favor to these dogs. These dogs will be pulled by Eric, most likely bred, and then they will start disappearing without explanation. Trust that the only thing that Eric sees in this situation is dollar signs.
WOW SERIOUSLY?!!!! accusing ERIC of all people of seeing dollar signs????!!! How ignorant are YOU?! The man that helps run this MILL is the one that is only seeing dollar signs!!! YOU must be a relative or something (and I do MEAN “something”) how anyone can defend leaving poor defenseless animals out in sub zero weather with only a PLASTIC barrel between them and the cold is absolutely INSANE! We are working with RESCUES right now to save these poor dogs….WHERE are you getting the MONEY from???? I’d like proof of you claims about Eric, we have plenty of PROOF of the conditions that the dogs are in.
BTW…a true breeder does not have barrels for shelters, especially for puppies. A true breeder does not leave their dogs outside in the freezing cold either. They keep their breeding mothers/fathers inside and they are treated like family….these people are sick…and if you think that this is ok then you are sick as well…I do not care how great their dogs are or if they are nice people…they are NOT a true breeder and nor should these pups be living like this!!!!!!!!!!!! This is cruel!!
Read my comment carefully Karen. Nobody is defending the breeders. But the fact of the matter is Eric himself is a breeder and has 50+ dogs on his property. He lives off donations, does not do home visits for adoptions, and his dogs are not up to date on medical when they are adopted. These are all FACTS & there is plenty of proof. The problem is that you and the rest of his FB army choose to bury your heads in the sand instead of looking at the reality of the situation. It has been only 1 day and instead of going through proper channels to have ALL of these dogs removed (if you have ever been part of shutting down a puppy mill you would know that it does not happen over night) he is asking for donations so he can buy the dogs….from a scumbag breeder. It’s instant gratification, it’s lazy, and it does NOTHING to solve the problem.
really DONTTRUSTERICB u POS. you know nothing about Eric or you wouldnt talk like that. you must be a dumb breeder to! people like you should be punched in the throat! your probably friends with the dumbass running this mess she calls a kennel. really dude! wow! what an IDIOT you are to put urself out there like that. dumbass!
and again…you KNOW nothing about Eric…he DOES NOT breed his dogs, where the crap are you getting this from?? Ignorance, is apparently rampant around here.
hey DONTTRUSTERICB maybe u should take a lesson on how to take care of dogs from Eric. coz it is very evident you dont know how to. hope you dont have any animals or children for that fact. Eric is on a rescue mission not breeding. you are a MORON!does nothing to solve the problem! well at least hes trying to save their lives. what are you doing? yea thats what I thought! NOTHING! worthless POS!
DONTTRUSTERICB scary ass cant even use your real name.
ROSALYNN CRARY how bout you sleep one nite in the little round barrels. POS u r to
I’m not going to argue over facts and clearly the intelligence in this group is lacking. Good luck to you all and I pray that these dogs don’t end up in a worse situation because of Eric’s lack of patience and intelligence on how to do things the proper way so that ALL dogs are safe, not just the ones that are being bought. And if I were all of you, I would request to see proof of vaccinations and spay/neuters after these dogs enter Erics care.
ANON u to go sleep in a barrel tonite will ya! idiot!
DONTTRUSTERICB YOU ARE A TRUE IDIOT! STOP BREATHING GOOD AIR
DONTTRUSTERIC If you have evidence against Eric….you need to prove it please. WE on this end can see nothing but the pictures he is showing us. And so far they tell a more convincing story. Show us what you know on Eric with pics.
dogs being saved now. keep praying
Someone please help these babies they cant help themselves God please where are the animal control people ????
cops came n she shut down giving the dogs up wth!
Donttrustericb, you are an idiot. Eric Bellows is NOT a breeder. Get your facts straight before you run off at the mouth.
shame on you and what you are doing to these dogs and puppies. this is animal abuse. if you need help, ask for it. please don’t let these creatures suffer at your inability to provide what is needed to care for them. if you are unable to care for them properly, please -for the sake of the animals, let people who will do so.
In our city we just passed an ordinance to sell only rescue animals at pet shops. Since the conditions that breeders such as this one has for the animals is hurtful to the animals, I am celebrating our new law. Why doesn’t your state start taking ownership for the profit making business of puppy mills? Shame on you.
8 week old puppies being zapped at the electric fence when they saw Eric and the gang. Just sickening that they are outside in this weather to freeze. Wish NY had the same law as CT where it would be ILLEGAL to leave dogs outside in temperatures such as these. Please NY get with it! I will do all I can to spread the word about this breeder, I have seen the pictures and they are NOT pretty. This story makes me SICK and an FYI- I have yet to see one of Eric’s dogs bred with all he shares with us. unreal. THESE DOGS NEED OUT AND SOON!
I pray that someone throws you and your husband into a 50 gallon drum and leave you out to freeze and die. People like you make this world a very bad place.
This person should be shut down. No one with common sense, no reputable person, breeds litters and keeps them in substandard conditions. Seems like the almighty $$ is the only criteria here. This person’s reasons for breeding are questionable, the photos themselves are condemning. They need to be prosecuted, fined for cruelty, neglect and abuse. And as a so-called breeder, they need to be boycotted.
I have just recently heard of this situation and it truly saddens me that one it is still in operation a year after these comments were posted and that it is going on only a few hours from where I live. Yes drive by,,drive by tonight in the freezing cold and see how a loving breeder cares for these dogs…..living in drums outdoors…shame, shame on you!
WTH??? Has the media been notified?? Those animals will be done in by this weekend w/ the temps dropping. I live in Vermont. What can I do??? Her worthless ass needs to be dragged outside and made to live like those poor dogs. Petition!?
This whole thing makes me sick, I hope this lady gets shut down soon and someone takes her and her husband and puts them in a barrel and lets them sit outside In freezing temps. Lady you are not a breeder you are a puppy mill and you make me sick!! No one should ever let you breed dogs ever again. New York state needs to wake up to this stuff and do something about it before its to late for these dogs and many others. Makes me sick!!!
You should have to live the way your dogs do. I don’t care what their temperment is they should not have to live in such horrible conditions. They are probably so grateful to get away from you that is why they do so well in their new homes.
The real question is why can’t people stop breeding animals and get real jobs?? Why contribute to the serious problem of so many strays being euthanized or living their existence in kennels?? Obviously a breeder is not a wonderfully caring person if they are oblivious to their deeds..neither is the people who buy them
I think the lack of response by authorities may be due to the holiday. I would hope that by tomorrow, when they are all back at work, and read all your emails and hear the voicemails left by countless facebook people, that SOMEBODY, like the Humane Society, ASPCA, news media, newspapers, etc. WILL do something. The storm coming is supposed to dump 12-18″ of snow across NY state and there are already blizzard warnings for the areas closer to the coast. There is no way these dogs will survive – puppies especially – if 18″ of snow cover the area. Their makeshift dog shelters will be buried. Yes it seems people have known about this for a long time but it’s just like everywhere else. People don’t want to get involved and they just turn away. This is a puppy mill – a breeding factory to sell puppies to pet stores,etc. just like the Amish ones we have in PA. They should be outlawed. But I understand this woman has her kennel’s capacity “grandfathered” in after new laws were passed and therefore the cops won’t do anything. But “adequate shelter” should not mean that any dog should live in zero degree weather in snow and ice with no heat or warm bedding. This, is outright cruelty and should be prosecuted to the fullest. A true breeder owns a few good dogs and breeds once a year maybe and keeps a waiting list. They don’t have an acre of dogs in wired pens like this. Not to mention these are SMALL dogs – shelties, shih tzus, etc. Not snow dogs like huskies. Let the owners sleep in the barrels and put the dogs in the house.
To anyone who thinks that it’s ok for these dogs to sleep in white barrels in this weather, please come to my house and I’ll set up white barrels in my backyard for you to sleep in. But no dogs allowed, they sleep in the house. Folks who disagree with the owners of this puppy mill we need to post, repost and repost some more every day to as many people as possible. Please share this info on any and all social media sites. We can put her out of business and fast.
Wow…. you really live up to your email name…you must be short and you are definitely cruel. I just saw a photo of how you keep your puppies and dogs in outside kennels in the freezing winter cold. I also read how many rescue groups are trying to save the dogs. You are not a reputable breeder…you are cruella de minny. Please do what is morally right and let the puppies and dogs be rescued!
I hope the people that run this puppy concentration camp slip and fall into a puddle of AIDS.
This is NOT a responsible breeder – these poor animals are right now freezing in digusting plastic barrels – small dog huts – in the snow – no love being given to them at all. These people only care about the dollar bills their dogs can make for them – disgusting.
