Finding a breeder who breeds to standard is a lot harder than most people new to the breed know. It is unfortunate that there are so many irresponsible BYB and so much misinformation about the breed out there.
As far as your question- didn't anyone do there homework or research- that is going to be offensive to some. For the most part, people are here because they care about their dogs and want to learn as much as possible. Many people just dont know the questions to ask or what to look for in the beginning and people make mistakes. This forum is for us to help each other and not judge the amount of research that everyone did before buying their dog. In a perfect world everyone would know about yorkie forums before buying one but the majority of people do not. |
Great Post, wish I would have said that.
