I really like yt as has always been a positive experience for me here. I wish i could be on more and help with health issues since I have learned alot but there are alot of sharp people on here so i tend to help on other forums more as they do not have as many people to help on them. I have made some great friends on here that i talk to daily and have always had a blast with the ge. I was overwhelmed at first trying to figure everything out but i have a better understanding of how to look things up, etc. This is really too bad as i have found the people to be very helpful. I have never felt it is about popularity at all here and many that have a lot of posts are the ones who help alot with health issues, etc or part of the ge hint threads

You should not feel uncomfortable and give it some time as there is a lot of great information here to help you with your yorkie and many times it is just we have to agree to disagree on certain things. Everyone here is passionate about the breed and their dogs so sometimes things can get heated but everyone's intentions are good I believe. I think things can get misinterpreted on the internet or in email many times as well.
Hang in there as it is a great group of people
