Thanks!

Awhile back I saw this and contacted the site asking why. This is the response I received back (See Below)

"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!"

Now, with that said I will also say that I have personal documentation showing that she has in fact shipped pups to a petstore in Danbury. She says they were not her pups but she was doing a friend a favor, however according to documentation she did this MANY TIMES. Some of the pups as young as eight weeks old and at least two that had just had hernia operations. In my opinion it does not matter whether they were her pups or someone else's she still had her hands in something less then ethical. That to me tarnishes her as a reputable breeder.

Lastly, information was sent to me in which someone bought a pup from her and the pup arrived to the person very sick. This information was posted right here on the open internet via an organization that was paying for the pups surgery. They wrote to Glenda asking for her to do the right thing but it is my understanding that they never got a response from her.

Just because someone once had a good reputation does not mean that that cannot change. There was one other breeder on here that too that was once well respected but later turned into a very bad breeeder in which she was either shut down or at least fined.

Please research on your own and research well before doing business with ANYONE.
