I have never sold one of MY pups to ANY pet store, INCLUDING Puppy Love. In fact, you will find no DNA from any pet shop trace back to my DNA line. Furthermore, I generally ask many questions before I place any of my dogs with individuals. They are placed one at a time, not in groups.
In regards to the health certificates in question…I have been friends with the owners of Puppy Love for years and occasionally, when asked, would pick a dog up for them and ship it for them (again, NOT mine). I make no money from doing this and do it only out of friendship for them. I have nothing to hide. They have their business, and I have mine…end of story.
I’ve spent 30 years perfecting my breed. Why would I sell my yorkies to a pet shop? I don’t need to.
There continues to be numerous clients and fanciers visit and verify my kennel. I welcome anyone to come to my place unannounced and see my yorkies and operation at anytime. You will see nothing but yorkies (SHOW yorkies) there. Yorkies that will never and have never been in a pet store. I always tell people, when asked about raising and showing yorkies, that you cannot like the breed, but must LOVE the breed! I have dedicated thirty years of my life to this breed. When I leave it, I pray that it will be left much better than when I began.
To those who have defended me, I appreciate you and I am the same person I’ve always been, doing the same thing I’ve always done.
I am not a broker. The dogs being mentioned in this thread were not my dogs. I just did a favor for a friend. In my professional opinion, I don’t understand the significance in raising this as an issue.
Please contact me directly with any questions I have not addressed here, for this is hopefully my first and last time to ever address anything that would question my love and devotion to this breed.
Sincerely,
Glenda Beavers

It is not my style to say harsh things in public , but this is one time I am. I have heard everything!!! This is the very last time I will say anything about this topic, I hope. It's that sickening, filled with lies and deceit. What a load of crap this all is.! Reputable breeders do not have friends/ connections with people who own pet shops!!! EVER! Pet shops are related to puppy mills, we all know this, it is not a secret. period. Just the fact she admitted a connection to Puppy Love should say something. Why on earth would a big time show breeder time and time again have puppies shipped to a pet shop, even if it wasn't their dogs???( yea right ) I called Puppy Love and the owner answered the phone, this was a few days ago. She denied knowing Glenda..said she has never even heard of her... strange that they are good friends?? If there was nothing to hide, why deny having a good friend or knowing her..or even the name?? How on earth is a show breeder in Oklahoma "good" friends with a pet shop owner in CT??? I am sorry, this is a cover up and now I am mad. Another thing..why would Glenda be down as the owner on these certificates and not the people who actually owns the puppies ??? Does this make sense? If it was just a favor, why would she even have her name on papers if they weren't even her dogs and take a chance being related to a pet shop? All this for a favor to a friend?? I don't think so. All Glenda fans can jump on and beat me up.. I don't care...It's very sad you all have been a victim of her deceit and I feel sorry that you stuck up for her through thick and thin. I hope you see the writing on the wall. Proof is plain common sense.
Anyone of you can call any true reputable show breeder of any breed and just ask if they are friends with pet shop people or send them puppies from friends as a favor..Is sending any puppy to a pet shop a favor?? You don't know who these puppies go home with or how long they are sitting in a cage before they actually find a home..what favor she is doing for these puppies!!! It use to make me so sad to see a puppy or older dog living in a cage in a pet shop, sitting there so sad wanting to get out of that cage, just stretch their legs, get off of wires into a soft bed and just be loved..my heart always broke for them. This is how you are devoted and LOVE your breed so much?? It wasn't just one puppy every now and then..one paper has six in a single shipment. I think you all know the truth by now. It's all right here.
I think Karen is owed an apology. As you can see, she didn't come on here in anger or jealously , she spoke the truth.
