Having said all that, i have not experienced any problems with this site in the short time I have been here. I absolutely LOVE this site. The people are caring and helpful and full of knowledge. To those people who are holding back due a bad experience - give it another shot! Don't let one or two bad apples deprive you of a great experience. Max will be 2 in May and Sasha just turned 1 in January. I look forward to may years of sharing with the people here.
So true. Sometimes it's just good to step away for a moment, and not take it all to heart.

Well written. I will try to be respectful. Sometimes I do not agree with everything that is said, but I try to remain respectful. I do believe people can disagree and maintain civility between each other. Discussion broaden minds, and it is good but not if conducted in disrespectful or mean tones.

And in this spirit, please all note- my name- loves tiny is in no way indicitive of an ill bred yorkie that is under the breed standard. To me, tiny means small breed in geberal. Thank you.

Uhhh I agree 100% and I hope no one gets mad at me. I'm a newby and I joined today because I am impressed with all the knowledge and information that is provided about Yorkies. I look so forward to asking questions on breeding dogs and learning from others. Most important to me is having the knowledge needed to be a reputable breeder.

Best thing you can do is go to dog shows and find a mentor.

There is no fast way to go about this. But if you are serious about breeding to improve the breed, for their health, their structure and their temperament along with all the other standard qualities of coat color, and quality then here are a few suggestions for you.


1. Study lots upon lots upon lots. At the minimum you need to know about the top 10 or so health concerns of Yorkies - how we can or can not test for them - know those health concerns in a pedigree lineage. Then you need to know about structure - study it - learn to recognize good structure of a Yorkie. Good temperament and proper coat and color Learn movement - movement follows structure - get to know proper gaiting and problem gaiting. Then there is the whole topic of breeding and whelping multiple books are written on this topic alone.


2. Join a local conformation and breed club preferably a Yorkshire Terrier one, or then a Toy Dog Club, and finally an All Breed Club.


3. Go to shows a lot of shows, meet the breeders of Yorkies, and inquire as to their interest in mentoring some one.


4. Once you got all that down *somewhat* you might be ready to foray into a responsible breeding practice. Be prepared that at first you will only be trusted with a male stud dog and that co-owned. Be prepared to show and finish your champion and to do the required and more than required health screenings testings.


Those are my abbreviated thoughts right now.

Default love...Love..LOVE this post!

I have been shocked by the aggressive nature of many of the replies and the false assumptions behind them I have read on YT. And there have been several times when I saw someone seeking help..and they got lambasted for being irresponsible doggie parents. I've even been on the receiving end of some of that harshness.

It's nice to point out that none of us would be on here if we didn't care about our dogs and specifically yorkies in general. And we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge we have at any given moment.

And yes some on this site are more knowledgeable than others- dare I say "teachers"?...but passing along knowledge can be done nicely making the teacher a loved and resected mentor whose advice is treasured and implemented from then on out...or it can be passed along in a negative way which makes the "student" put up walls of protection and unfortunately in the process "missing the point" of the information being given to them.

But it shouldn't be so hard to be "kind" to each other, even when our methods of parenting gorgeous little yorkies may differ...we are all still here to try to "Help" each other..not attack. Thanks to the original poster for saying what many have thought. Hope it sticks.

Default Making a difference

I agree with oneofakind864
Simply put, as she did, we would not be here if we did not care about our Yorkies.
When power becomes personal, judging and finger pointing ensues. We are all teachers and we are all learning as we respectively pass through each stage as Yorkie parents. Sharing news of a recently acquired pup, medical issues, food concerns, potty training, why to breed, or not, what to buy, and where. Opening our hearts, expressing pain as we face saying goodbye, letting go; it's all been written on this forum.
Negative begets negative and peeps often type without thinking; is this how I would want someone to be speaking to, or treating me? Do your word heal, or do further harm?
I look at my two cheerful, forgiving yorkies and smile. For them, each day is a fresh start, a happy adventure. They've been raised in love and kindness, resulting in trust.
I believe we all come to this forum with the same honorable intent, seeking advice, wisdom and support in celebration of these delightful creatures. Kindness and respect for each other will keep Yorkie Talk alive and growing. Shouldn't that be the focus here?

I totally agree with this and this negativity can have an impact on our health. I wish we could focus more on our similarities rather than our differences. Everyone here has something to offer!

So true Nancy. Being a long standing member of YT, you have seen many members come and go through the years and many trends of discussions. I totally agree with your statement. Let's focus more on our similarities.... everyone has something to offer. Yes

So true, we all have something to offer or say and as long as most everyone basically agrees with the majority, all is fine. But if not and someone posts a dissenting point of view, at times it can get very, very ugly in tone.

Very true. And the more diverse it is, the more shocking, and the more folks come out to challenge that particular viewpoint.

Now Im not trying to take away or belittling what someone else may be feeling is going on on the forum but from my viewpoint it has mellowed out alot. If anything its usually pretty slow around here with no controversial threads and it is a forum and there is always going to be some disention but its definitely not prevalent on here but I understand if your on the receiving end of it why you would think it is

It always amazes me when I read some people's comments on this thread. While some have merit, there are some that I totally wonder if we all read the same things.

The bottom line is that at least one of you (more than one, but the one is so focused on me and has been for what seems forever) is referring to me. The only thing I am going to say is that when I post something that is a direct opposite opinion to what someone has posted and I have facts to back me up it seems to become even more personal to them. It is not about "tone" .. it is about the fact that some people think they can say anything they please and no one is going to challenge it if it is not true...or shall we say if someone has a dissenting opinion.


When it comes to the Sick and Injured forum I am more apt to be vocal because I feel that if someone posts something and people don't voice an opposite opinion sometimes we will be doing a disservice to people looking for advice on a topic,. If someone posts something that I believe to not be in the best interest of dogs, you better believe I will say it. Sadly some people will believe just anything..so it is always good for them to read and think. If they see two opinions, then they need to dig further which is a good thing.

What I will say to Nancy's comment about things making people ill....the day that an online forum is making me ill (and I know that is what is happening), then I hope I have enough sense to walk away. I do think it is patently unfair to point a finger at anyone and say they are affecting your health. We are adults here and responsible for ourselves.

As to the rules...oh, there are a few people on this forum I believe have gotten away with a lot of rule bending; and I find it sickening that they were allowed to say things (especially the vulgar comments, however vaguely disguised) but I don't make the rules and I don't take it upon myself to monitor. Not my job. I report and move along. Learned that one the hard way myself.
