I meant doing well from a complaint perspective.

Within the GB - Pet Store Issue thread, I believe there are linked documented cases of GB and her boyfriend selling sick dogs they never took responsibility for, one was a yorkie with liver shunt, the other a Frenchie.

Her membership is key. If she is not a member, then whose code of ethics did she violate? If she is member other members may have violated the YTCA code of conduct.

As I recall, there was only one case. It wasn't one of Glenda's pups. The web site states that Glenda was going to notify her friend. We don't know any more.

I have no doubt that Glenda Beavers breeds beautiful dogs. Did she use poor judgment in shipping puppies for her long time friend....probably so.

One time about 20 years ago I had a friend come to me asking for money for an abortion. She was divorced with one child. I hesitantly gave her the money but now I have to live with the guilt the rest of my life that I contributed to the death of a child. If we all reflect back on our lives I am sure we all made choices that we regretted later. As a breeder I have made my share of mistakes. In the beginning I sold my puppies at 6 week and 7 weeks old. I started vaccinating at 6 weeks. I learned later these things were not wise and were frowned upon. I learned from my mistakes. We all do. Glenda Beavers may be regretting the mistakes she made. I am sure she knows now that her practices in helping a friend ship puppies are frowned upon by many. If someone chooses to not buy a puppy from her because of her past mistakes then that is their choice but if someone is looking for perfection in a breeder then I hate to say it but none are perfect. We all have made mistakes but most do not have them aired publicly.

:confused:

I would suggest you go back and read. In one post you incorrectly stated GB did not consign to a pet store and YOU posted the YTCA code of ethics.

I provided the link to the document showing where GB DID consign to a pet store - to prove that you were wrong!

As to the last sentence of your above quoted post - it makes no sense - "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?":confused:

I would assume she is since a search turns up that she has dogs placed in YTCA shows. Colorado Specialty Not that it matters. There's corruption in most every organizations I'm sure.

Not the point. She said that she shipped. I associate monetary gain with consignment. Some may not. If is not a member of the YTCA then its a moot point.

I'm not 100% certain you have to be a YTCA member to enter their shows. But you're right, it doesn't matter, as there is certainly corruption in most every organization.


And Bildio, it is not a moot point as to whether or not GB is a YTCA member. As I do believe any reputable breeder, regardless of their breed club affiliation would tell you what GB has done is not ethical.

--- but, whose ethical standard is she beholding to?

If she wants to consider herself or have others consider her a reputable breeder then she would follow what any reputable breeder would do and that is to not supply, ship, consign or sell puppies to a pet store.

I think the OP admitted her mistake and ended up being very happy with Glenda's dog.

That was indeed the case.

She wasn't a member of YT at the time. She may not have known. If you're not on YT you are out of touch.

I consider her a very reputable breeder as do many others. I personally have not one, but two of her puppies and could not be happier.

Again, I will ask anyone that personally has one of Glenda's dogs and has had any problems or a negative experience to please post. Not someone that has "heard" or that has a freind who ....., but has first hand experience. Until then, we really don't know the whole story or the full circumstances of what transpired; I, for one, would feel terribly guilty for posting something negative about someone's livelihood without having ALL of the facts.
