I would hope that this section is here to help other people breeding Yorkies, that are not as experienced. I come here to have questions answered, and occasionally to help others, if I feel I can, but most of the time I feel there is someone more experienced to answer, so I don't. I do not stick around all the time. I do see alot of people VERY inexperienced coming on here as the first step in research, and rather than reading past posts, they ask questions first....then RUN. I am a part of a Parenting Board, people are very passionate with their views on parenting styles, and you have alot of different types of people on that board.....BUT, we have alot of respect for each other, and never put someone down for asking a question, or expressing an opinion. We are VERY careful, to make sure that when we do have a strong opinion, we express it in a way that takes the other person's feelings into account.
I have a great deal of respect for the "experienced" breeders on this board, and for that reason, I have stayed away from all debates, and pretty much stayed away from the board, unless I need help. I would never want to hurt anyone, and I NEED you to be there, if I NEED your help. It saddens me to think that this type of support is no longer available from the "experienced" breeders on this board.
Maybe we can open a forum for new "breeders" to simply ask questions, and a different BREEDERS Forum, for people in need of assistance. I do understand the "experienced" breeders that are here all the time, getting frustrated with the same inquiry type posts over and over, but then when someone might REALLY be in a bind, or REALLY need help, there will be no one experienced to turn to, because they got frustrated with the inquiry posts.
I am really not sure if this made any sense, but I am sad that I came back here, and I am reading that the breeders I came back to for guidance, to learn from, and possibly for assistance are no longer here and willing/able to help. |
