Yes I did help a Fox farm in the early 1970s with their genetics now I am labled a fur dealer. I am not trying to sell yorkies on this forum. I had requests from some of the members of YT to share on genetics after having 2 Chocolate puppies born. Sorry I even posted a thread. I was being honest and thought yorkie owners wanted to learn about their yorkies. Like I said in the last thread, You can judge me if you want it doesn't bother me at all as most do not understand the life and culture I was raised in. I think this forum does not appreciate our past farming culture where we raised our own food and sold milk, eggs and meat for others to survive on. I will share the wisdom and knowledge that God has given me to those who appreciate and respect and want to learn. I will do this some other place where people are not so opinionated. Wayne |
It's not that this forum isn't for you, it's that you expect members to have a through understanding of genetics, and be able to discuss something, that I don't think scientists know yet. The average owner doesn't really care about the genetics of her dog, but wants to know about proper food, training, grooming, etc, and how to find a good breeder. Your genetic questions seem better suited to the breeder's forum, but I doubt if you will get many facts, and if you do, it will be hard to recognize them because so many people pass their opinions as facts. I come from an era that understands that fur farms were once seen as a good thing, and not a bad thing. Trapping was considered the bad thing, and being of French descent, I have a feeling lots of my ancestors were the bad guys, so I don't have a problem with your background, just some of your comments. Your very first post said that for chocolates to be born, "something had to happen to the dna," Then you speculated it was the reaction from the rubber and or plastic, and the gene mutated, you added, "this is not a recessive gene as many think it is, and I hope this helps."
You seemed to be talking with a great deal of authority when you said these things, and you don't seem to have any real facts to back this up, except your years of experience as a fox farmer, and this isn't enough for me to believe what your saying is true. If you had said something like "I wonder, if such and such, or does anyone know if such as such, but you stated it like it was fact, and because of your years of "experience" many people will believe you, and others will not want to hear a word your saying, it just bothers me because there is no proof of what you are saying. It just seemed to me you were trying to razzle dazzle us with your knowledge, but maybe I'm wrong.
