I'm new to YT and new to Yorkies, but not new to public forums. Bashing occurs on all of them and it's a shame.

I'm convinced that the anonymity of the poster helps their bravery and willingness to be rude. Some of us no nothing about the breed (like me) and will visit this forum and other places to learn what we can. Some posters have years of experience (like Natalie) who, if encouraged to do so, can offer their insight.

I have a question about the standard so many posted about and accused Natalie of ignoring. I thought the official "standard" indicates a Yorkie should not weigh over 7 pounds, but doesn't address how small a Yorkie can be. Am I mistaken?

Is their an official YTCA Code of Ethics that condemns breeding pups below a certain weight?

Let's not assume the person with the biggest opinion or the most posts has the most Yorkie expertise. Perhaps, before you offer a strong opinion, you should indicate your experience and level of expertise so we know whether or notyou are smeone to take seriously.
