Hello, we welcome all breeders here at YorkieTalk, experienced or new. We are happy to see YT breeders share their knowledge and experiences. If you have personal experience breeding, we suggest you mention that in your posts in the breeder forum. This may give the original poster a better understanding of you and your experience with breeding.

We strongly suggest all members ignore members that they may not get along with. All members should feel free to post their opinions on breeding or breeding topics, if you do not agree with it, you may reply or you may choose to ignore it. You may also add a member to your ignore list and thus will not see any of that member's posts. Arguing over and over about the same topic really won't help either party, it is highly unlikely that you will change the other person's opinons, and vice versa.

Sharing your experiences is what YorkieTalk is all about, and we feel all members should feel they can discuss any issues without fear of being attacked. If you see a question that may be controversial or problematic, there are positive ways to respond and there are negative ways to respond. For example, if someone asks about breeding their 3 pound Yorkie, which is of course dangerous and not recommended, a positive response would be to mention how it is dangerous for the Yorkie and how ethical breeders only breed Yorkies over 5 pounds. A negative response would be to call the poster a name and tell them they are stupid for wanting to do so. If a person wants to breed their 3 pound Yorkie, unfortunately, there is no way for anyone on YT to stop them, however, we hope that by educating them as much as we can, that they will see why it isn't a good idea. Calling them a name will not dissuade them from breeding.

No one should be afraid of posting questions or giving their opinion on YorkieTalk. Complaining about a particular member or a group of members is also unfair. As our community has grown, it simply is not possible for everyone to agree on each and every subject. We're here to learn and share about this wonderful breed. Many actual Yorkie LIVES have been saved as a result of the Breeder forum here, as well as many Yorkie babies. This is what our community is all about, please remember that. This forum is not about you or any problems you may have with another member, it's about Yorkies, the Yorkie moms and babies which may need your help.
