By the time the 19 lb yorkie thread started, what was done was done, the bitch was bred before the poster joined and so what good is reading a riot act going to do? I am pretty sure if the poster had come to forum before breeding the bitch, she would have received some very sage advice.
Most of the time when people post asking whether they should breed their dogs (and this happens at least once a week) they really don't want advice, they want affirmation. I post when there are general questions re: the risks of breeding dogs (since these risks apply to all toy breeds), whether they should breed dogs without papers etc but I stay away from answering yorkie-specific questions. It is extremely frustrating to watch good advice being ignored again and again. I say kudos to those yorkie breeders who stick to their guns, defend their breed, and provide people with the advice they ask for but don't want to hear. I for one appreciate it, admire it, and support it. Thank you, yorkietalk bullies, from one of your fans. |
