first off, Im not a show person/breeder of any kind. I bought Dolly from her as a pet. she showed me a couple pictures of Dolly as well as one other yorkie girl. Glenda told me that Dolly is a tiny girl (little over two pounds at 8 months). actually at the time I already have a tiny yorkie girl and really wanted to get a standard sized yorkie, but I was literally addicted to Dolly's cute features. so I asked her if she's got any other girl with Dolly's feature but a lil bigger than Dolly. She did not like my request and told me that I should be focused.
To be honest, she was not an easy going person IMO, but hey, it was about the dog, not her. just my personal opinion, as long as the dog is healthy and cute enough for me, and Glenda could provide a smooth transaction, thats all I need. I needed a companion Dog/sister for my other yorkie, not a breeder friend.
So I ended up getting Dolly simply because I was in love with her. I did pay a lot for her, most people thought I was over paying. but thats really my choice, I could have gotten a local healthy yorkie thats a lot cheaper. but to be honest, Dolly is one of the few yorkies that I have seen that have the sweet little baby doll face. and more importantly, she has my heart. Dolly's playful, got good personality, house trained, which for me interpeted as she was well taken care of by her breeder. and of course to me she's worth every penny I paid.
I didn't get too much info about Dolly before I got her, but I did get the most important of what I needed. ex. pictures of her sire and dam, sizes and origins of them, siblings. and she was being honest about the fact that Dolly's sire was old and passed away few months ago.
I couldn't be happier with Dolly, and probably will go back to her if I need another one in the future. Attachment 256622 Attachment 256623 |
I agree, Dolly is one beautiful girl, and I can see why you love her so much. She looks like a real sweetie for sure!
Lolasmom1211 no one should make you feel guilty that you have your baby from Glenda. The point of this, in my opinion, was not how beautiful her dogs were, it was focused on what she did and people defending her, I think thats where the heat turned up. I am sorry you had your feelings hurt, and I am sure your yorkie baby is a doll!!!
I think everyone on here is a nice group who loves their dogs..that we can say is a 100% fact
We all have different feelings and opinions and that is where it gets ugly..every one fighting for what they believe in, and no one gives up.. I am not a big poster by any means, I joined to really learn more about yorkies from people who owned them. I never posted this before, but I am going to be very honest here. a little over a year ago, I searched for a reputable breeder. When I first heard of GB I was totally amazed in how beautiful her yorkies were, I actually made a good friend on here who has a tiny little girl from her who is to die for... so I was so excited to say the least.
I gave Glenda a call and we talked about her puppies. At that time she informed me she did have a few litters, but right at that time, they were too young to go home. "But", she did have a little boy who was ready in about a week.. she sent me pictures and I was a little disappointed because he wasn't the "typical" GB's yorkies, he was larger in size with a long nose, he was cute, but not what I was looking for, she also told me he was 2800.00. I knew her puppies were pricey, and I was ok with that, but not for this little guy. About 4-5 days later, someone here on YT wrote to her asking about a puppy also..well, she was sent the same pictures of the same little boy. The only thing different was the price for him,,, for her, 4-5 days later he was now 1600.00!! We compared notes and I almost fell over, mind you I really felt deceived. I would of understood if it was a month later and she needed to find him a loving home, but this was not the case... the story goes on that some one else wrote to her as well..that same puppy was now 1400.00!!!!! I really could not believe my ears!! in one week this poor little guy was 1400.00 less than what she offered him to me for. I felt like he was in an auction. You just do not play "puppy ebay" with a life. I didn't have 'bad' feelings, maybe a little hurt, but I put it behind me and I just knew no matter how beautiful her yorkies were, I wasn't contacting her again. She was not the only breeder with beautiful yorkies. I have to admit, just from that one experience with her, I didn't feel the same respect as others had towards her..I always thought something was just not right.
When all of this came to surface, I was sad this was a part this woman played behind the scenes , a woman that everyone thought so highly of. It also mad me mad to learn that someone who loves her breed and respected the life of any dog would actually do this. It wasn't hard for me to believe Karen at all. I did voice my opinion as well, I was trying to help people understand the point that was being made.
As I have mentioned, I am happy the truth came out, going forward everyone can make their own decisions for the future.
All of you have a wonderful holiday season! Time for me to get my butt in gear and get some shopping finished
