Regarding the site posted about good breeders and the site not reccomending Glenda Beavers. I emailed the party and asked why it was that their site was not reccomending her and this is the reply I got back (See below). Elaine

The Replay I received to my inquiry.

"Elaine,

All of a sudden there's renewed activity concerning Glenda Beavers from Tahlequah, OK even though she's been around for quite a while. It's said, and some say proved, that she sells to pet stores. I'm told that she has sold to a local pet store here in Massachusetts, Laughlin Kennels so if that's true It confirms her activity. Laughlin has been featured on at least one Boston TV station as being a puppymill and I've been there and seen for myself that Laughlin is in fact a puppymill. I have a warning about them on my web site.

I also have a statement that I wouldn't do business with Glenda Beavers and Carolyn Buffington along with several other dubious so-called breeders.

About the only thing that can be done to reduce the demand for puppymill pups is to get the word out and let the public be informed. That's what I try to do but I won't "BLACKLIST" a breeder until I have documentation that asserts my statements. Opinions are a different matter!

Some that think WHITE BREAD is great have their heads in the sand. It's empty calories and has nowhere near the food value of a Whole Grain Bread. This is an analogy to some 'Great Breeders' that have no interest in the products they produce and are only in it for the money. The majority of the pups produced by these Yorkie breeders don't come anywhere near the AKC/YTCA standard and in many cases are unhealthy. Yes, there are some of their puppies that don't suffer from major problems but that the 'law of averages' and not the norm. Those that give glowing referrals to these bad breeders were just lucky. More often than not these pups have parasites, viruses and genetic problems and sometimes they don't reveal themselves to be sick until any guaranty is long since passed.

Even if the breeder would live up to the warranty, it usually calls for the puppy to be given back, and we all know that once the BOND has been established the owner very rarely will return a sick puppy. This is especially true when the breeder says they'll have to euthanize the pup because it's too expensive to give it medical treatment!! "
