Here's her words, from a previous thread:



I think we all have different standards on what's important in a breeder. Some people say they would never buy from a breeder who smokes; others say that they would never buy from a breeder who uses crates. These are their decisions, but I look for things, that are affecting the future of the breed, such as breeding to standard, and breeding healthy dogs. Humane breeding conditions are extremely important to me, and are the number one priority, for I would rather see a byb selling dogs that weren't to standard, than the puppy miller selling dogs that have kept in horrendous conditions. So we each make these decisions when we are looking for a breeder. I just think it's important to get the facts straight when we are discussing someone's breeding practices, and from reading this thread, I know many people thought she had sold her dogs to the pet store, and this simply wasn't true. To some of you this is a minor detail, but it isn't to me. It just seems to me if this is the worse thing she's done, she isn't all that bad. Truthfully, it isn't the fact that a pet store is selling puppies that outrages me, it the fact that most of these dogs come from puppy mills and that what outrages me. I'm all for people who have high standards when it comes to supporting quality breeders, I just think that there are so few perfect breeders out there and that we must put things into perspective.

Glenda was listed as the owner of these dogs on the official document that was linked in the previous thread.

Oh I believe me, I get outraged over the breeding practices of many on YT. It's just that in the past, when you have tried to speak out against it, many times you're either ridiculed, deleted, reprimanded or in some cases suspended. As you can tell I'm not very good at keeping quiet when I'm passionate about a subject, so I avoid most of the breeding threads for fear of the above mentioned.

Btw, I still like you even though we are disagreeing on this subject!:)

Wow, I just read all 18 pages of the other thread... I'm almost speechless. Almost... I am actually beyond shocked to see how many people vehemently defended someone who admitted to sending young puppies multiple times to a pet store. Those are the facts straight from her mouth. The justification is they weren't her puppies, and she didn't do it for profit... Well, so what! I bet those poor puppies she sent didn't care if she was their breeder or if she took money- they still ended up in a pet store.:( I am horrified to see people- yorkie lovers- defending this.

Actually it does reflect on what kind of breeder she is. Not only breeder, but an education yorkie owner. Even if she was helping someone shipping to petstores. I think it also says alot about a person supporting or defending those selling/shipping puppies to petstores. This has already been discussed....

We have a right to support or not support a breeder, business, person, etc... when we don't agree with their actions, practices, etc.... Thank goodness we still have the right to do that!
I'm sure she has beautiful dogs and puppies, I tend to think most dogs and puppies are beautiful, that isn't the point for me personally. The point for me is we have choices and I hope that people will make informed, educated choices and do what you feel is right and what you are comfortable with.
Any type of dealings with pet stores can be a very black or white issue with alot of people and I'm comfortable with saying it is for me!
