I respectfully ask that we stop the debating about BYB
While we all know there are TRUE BYB that are nothing more then small Puppy Mills..And some do breed their dogs with knowing little or nothing
I respectfully want to say that you are NOT necessarily a BYB if you dont show your dogs Its disheartening to always be here at YT...where I thought was a nice place
To always feel .....like one of many here who as a loving Owner and breeder We always have to defend themselves 24/7
Its one debate after another anymore...Its so sad. And drives so many away.
I would invite each and every one of you to my small hobby farm.
To meet me....come in my home...to see my barns where my goats and other animals are....
See my Yorkies and other furbabies how much they are loved and cared for.
I'll go for a walk around my Lake with you and your furbabies .
I know you'll enjoy it as much as me and my furbabies do.
But dont blame me if my goats follow us and nip at your shirt...
I think you would see as family... friends and neighbors do.
What kind of person I am
None of them would think of me being a BYB . But a nice caring person.
I've had school children here.
I love my animals and if any of you know my situation.
They are a huge part of my life.
I respectfully ask that those of us here not be attacked so we fear posting.
I respectfully ask that you stop...think...before you post that peoples feelings do get hurt.
Hugs to all of you |
Thank you for this thread.. I am also a small hobby breeder and I feel the same as you. Come to my house, see how my dogs live, how I live, talk to my vet who will tell you I care about what I breed and how I do this. How I feel integrity is more important to me as a person...
I am always willing to learn.. always wanting to get the best yorkie I can get to breed without being a show breeder..(this is not easy to do)
But I see far to much of the beating up verbally on this forum.. and far too much announcing how they feel..
People that show,.. were not born with this talent.. nor people that breed..
Puppymill people would not want to join a thread like this, they seem to hide out in order to sell to pet stores.
I have seen so many insults and seen so many extremely hurt over so many threads..
Maybe many should come here as a friend.. wanting to learn and not just be judgemental. There are many good breeders on here I have learned so much from show breeders and hobby breeders alike.. I too am asking all, including breeders to not make judgemental comments. My intention is to learn not to be judged or ridiculed..
Those threads about BYB's needs to stop.. It is obvious that we have lost and are losing too many good people.
thanks for listening....anne
