Someone came on looking for advice and in my opinion she got slammed and you know that isn't the kind of advice she was looking for. Has she even responded since then? I think that this is the one topic we all need to find a little restraint on. There isn't another topic that people will get so offensive about. I've seen people talk about buying a puppy from a pet store and others will politely advice them not too. Or someone will have bought a puppy from a pet store and others may say what could happen but still in a polite way. We've had very polite discussions on puppy mills of differrent sorts. Different methods of training can be controversial but when discussed remain polite. But the minute someone mentions mixed breds pow its a big deal and things are said that are offensive. And really a little controversy doesn't bother me a bit. This thread was started to discuss this topic so great I'm completely fine with anything being said in it but when someone else starts a thread asking for something and you feel that you have something to add, just make sure it wouldn't offend you if you were in their shoes. |
Well said.
We need to be careful not to insult new members who come on YT to ask for advice. If we want to help these dogs (mixed or pure bred) out in the long run, it's our responsibility to politely educate prospective buyers -- not slam them for asking reasonable questions.
