Many experienced breeder post less and less because of the constant bitch fest ... 9 times out of 10 the novice will do as they wish not listening to the experienced breeder. Often time you will read the nonbreeder chastising the experienced breeder because of posting in a blantant tone or posting in a unkind manner, then the advice to the OP falls on deaf ears and the breeder appears to be the bad guy....

Please walk in our shoes and feel the frustration and pain breeders go though reading posts like "my girl is 3 lbs and want to have a litter" or "I have a pregnant mom do anytime WHAT DO I DO" or "should I breed my chi to my yorkie" or the best "I want to have one litter because my puppy is so cute" sometimes there is no other way to post but from the heart and FROM EXPERIENCE! I think most try to be kind but the frustration mounts when the nonexperienced breeders involve themself.

Experience is best, your 100 % right and I feel that they should say before they POST that I'm NOT an EXPERIENCED BREEDER of YORKIES...But....Or I HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE... I'm just not wanting to cause anymore trouble here and I do in my OPO think EXPERIENCE is the best way to go for giving whelping information.

You are 100% right on this...It gets off subject and then the OP who is needing help doesn't get it...It's sad and can be life threating to a bitch and her litter. Or you get the games going and then can't find when a person needs help.

I know how you feel it's so hard but what can we do??? I don't feel we should be downed all the time for our advice. Just my OPO tho. I hope you have a great weekend. Lee
