"its not a yorkie its a mutt so you dont how big it will be"
or "why do people continue to buy mixes" etc, etc and it turns into a debate making the OP defending themselves as to why the got the dog in the first place, making them feel very unwelcome, Ive seen it over and over again, in just the few short 2 months Ive been here.
My Ella Bean is a mix, so I have also seen this behavior a lot. I rescued her adore her and I credit YT posters for helping me when I rescued her and she was so sick.

When people stick their nose into my posts and provoke me to defend my dog instead of answering the thread, I ignore it. I am not saying I don't WANT to respond (with a swift kick!) but its not worth it. The other advice and people are too awesome to let those jerks ruin it.

When those debates arise in mid - thread, I suggest politely re-asking your question and ask to return to the subject!
