When they advise being careful who you buy from and give suggestions on what to look for and what to avoid and you get offended....well, that certainly tells me something. I was pounced on by one of these "non show" breeders, accused of being someone sneaking back on the forum from the humane society simply because I suggested someone spay or neuter their puppy that was not standard, let alone show quality. I feel grateful these people come on here to offer their advise and help. There are a lot of "show breeder" that some of you like to so proudly brag about having there lines somewhere back in your pedigrees that wouldn't come on this forum if you paid them! Fortunately, YT is blessed with having a few kind, caring people on here to help when asked. I also think that everyone that breeds should try to find an all breed club or specialty club in your area. There is a wealth of information there for anyone who is generally interested in correct breeding practices. You don't have to show if you don't want to. (Even though, you're missing a lot of fun.) This is a big forum, and everyone loves looking at the pictures, and hearing Yorkie stories. We all love our little babies, but lets just be gratful for the help we can get to do everything the right way for these that we love, just like our human children.

There is a difference in educating someone politely and educating someone rudely...that is where a lot of argument comes into play. Once again, I will mention, it's all in the words that you use and how you use them. NO ONE wants to be talked down to...do you?
