I think that most people do stay civil and say things tactfully but you do get those that are just outright rude which is not right. But say - someone posts and says "I have a 2lb teacup yorkie and I want to breed her my mom's 10lbs shihtzu" and then goes on to say that both dogs came from a petstore. Would it be right for everyone to just say "Oh, your dogs are so cute. They'll make such cute puppies. Good Luck." I don't think so - I think the person needs to be made aware of how difficult breeding is and what can go wrong. And of course you're going to get opinions on breeding mixes and petstore dogs. I dont think there is anything wrong with that as long as people say things in the nicest way they can.
Sometimes we all have to take a step back and see that although we all have different opinions, we are all connected by how much we love our yorkies and the yorkie breed. And YT is such a great place to talk about our babies, share pictures, and tell each other how wonderful our dogs are. But YT is also a great place to learn to, and when you're discussing issues you're going to have differing opinions. |
I agree that yes you should beable to give advice on the matter but not cram it down someones throat in a hurtful way
Exaple to the senario you posted about the 2lb dog..

bad post:
OMG your going to breed a 2lb dog how dare you don't you know how unethical you are?you shouldn't even have dogs.
