Ten pages of posts. That's what I just read. So now after reading what I did, I'll post my 2 cents.
I'm not a breeder of Yorkies. Was a breeder, again not Yorkies. However, a breeder is a breeder no matter what the breed. And all breeders strive to better the breed. One poster said when buying from a show person, sometimes you don't get a show puppy living up to the standard. Far from it. You never said it better. No matter how much I blended pedigrees to look close to perfection of standard, I threw golden puppies I thought came from Mars. Well I don't mean Mars but so far away from the standard
And I bred for over 10 years.
No show person, throws all show puppies. I don't believe I heard a show breeder here to ever claim that either. I hope not. Because it's not true.
The OP mentioned in her post about showing being Political. How very, very true that is. Some show people slam each other more than we slam each other here. Sometimes it's down right vicious. Everyone wants the AKC top standard dog. BTW, there is no perfect dog anyway. None exists.
Jumping on someone's grammar. Sorry that hurt. I read that and just said omg, how sad. Then people deliberately spelling words incorrectly. Remember, there are some very intelligent people in our history who could not read, or had dyslexia (sp?) We don't know other people. When in doubt, don't.
Breeding teeny tiny. I don't agree with it. In my humble opinion, they are such delicate little creatures. However, people want them and they will get them. With that being said, it is better to go with experience. If you are not going to stop them, help them to become better breeders.
Reading 10 pages, my brain started to fizzle. The posts were going in every direction, lol. It reminded me of telephone when I was in school. A child would whisper a word in the childs ear next to him. That child would whisper the word to the next in line. By the time it reached the last child, the word was so far away from the original word started.
I think that's what happens in long threads.
With that being said, to the OP. Please see if you can just put a few periods in your posts to help us a little better. Sometimes I'm horrible with proof reading. More often than not, I don't. I do agree with you on some things and yet there are some things I don't.
I think we can all agree to disagree, as long as we are respectful to one another.
Just a couple days ago, I myself got a little angry at someone, who doesn't take advice. I went today and re-read it, ouch. Naughty me. Sometimes we post in anger. We should all take a deep breath before we post, especially if we are angry.
Have a good nite
