She arranged shipment of someone's yorkies to a pet store, it wasn't just her shipping account. There were numerous shipments, the documents were shown here. And, although Nancy, you posted this is destroying a good breeder because of "one facet",is this not a rather large facet? As I said before the mantra of this site and every reputable breeder I've ever talked to is "DO NOT but a puppy from a pet store". So, we are not to buy from them, do not sell to them, but it is alright to ship another breeders puppies to a pet store? Is that not hypocrisy? If she ships them to a pet store - will not someone buy them from that very same pet store?
In her very own words she claims
"that you cannot like the breed, but must LOVE the breed" and that she is a
"breeder and fancie" and
"I have dedicated thirty years of my life to this breed". Her having stated the above, as a fancier, in love with and dedicated to this breed she was well aware that what she was doing went against a breeders code of ethics, and chose to do so regardless.
If it were one shipment, one mistake and then she changed her practices it might be different. Numerous shipments of yorkies (debatable as to whether or not they were hers), her and her boyfriend's sale of the sick Frenchie, and her sale the liver shunt yorkie, I would say these are all serious mistakes and can not be ignored.
Just because some members here have bought from her in the past, are considering buying from her currently or in the future, or that she has been a colleague in the show world, that relationship with her, doesn't make what she has done okay. Think about it - if this were someone besides Glenda, someone not very well known in the yorkie show/breeder world, you all know you would be condemning her. Please have the courage of your convictions!
