I've just read every post in this thread, and OMG, I don't even know where to start!

to me, Glenda is a reputable breeder. yes, she did help with a few puppy store shipments, yes, that was awefully wrong regardless what her intention was. but she did realize what she did was wrong and wouldn't do again in the future. and we are talking about a show breeder that has been consistantly producing up to standards yorkies for many years/striving to better the breed, doesn't she deserve forgiveness?? many of the YTers here have purchased dogs from puppystores, thus supported puppy mill, so are you gonna tell me just because they were so wrong that they shouldn't own dogs anymore? we are humans, we all make mistakes and most of us deserve forgiveness!

I got my girl Dolly from her 3 years ago, and she is perfect in every way. so many YTer has pmed me about her and wanting her breeder info, and the ones did get their pups from her are super happy. isn't quality your primary concern (not just health) when you are looking for a puppy? Glenda not only has one of two quality pups, she produces quality with CONSISTANCY, which is something very hard to achieve and doesn't happen overnight. obviously she cared about the breed very much, and to me, helping a friend with some shipments to puppy store just cannot erease all of that!

before I got Dolly from Glenda, I've been looking for a yorkie for over a year, there are many yorkie breeders out there, but few has a puppy up to my expectation. many YTer have recommended breeders to me. there were quite a few of them, as soon as I got on their websites, other than available pups, I can see "we support rescue...." "no puppymill" "no teacups" screaming across the home page. I have no doubt that these statements are true and they care about the well being of pups, but to me, these statements are also advertisements trying to scream out: buy from me, Im a reputable breeder! when I look at their dams/sires (the first thing I do when Im looking for a breeder), they are no where close to the breed standards, super thin hair, super long nose, disproportioned body, you name it! and thats the end of story, I didn't even bother to look at the pups. its the same as Iams are doing so many good things to build their relationship with the community, but to me, its all about advertising, if they really care about pups, put in some premium ingridents in their food.

quality is the only valid advertisement and if you don't have pups up to standards, you are not reputable to me. and Glenda is a reputable breeder, her pups can speak for themselves.

I just want to voice out my opionion, not interested in arguments. that being said, this will be my first and last post in this thread!
