I don't see it as being sensitive I see it as "PASSION" for the breed. How many times has it been posted that I want to breed my yorkie one time when it's a pet and no health testing is done and some just can't understand why we won't sell with full breeding rights and get called all sorts of nasty things? I call it upholding the YTCA code of ethics and code of conduct. And you are entitled to your opinion and I appreciate your opinion it's just one I happen not to agree with which is ok with me and I would hope you would appriecate our differences  |
Well, maybe I'm missing those threads where people who don't sell with breeding rights are called nasty names. ALL the threads I've seen where someone posts that they have this miscellaneous yorkie they want to breed, people ALWAYS come in and tell them it's a bad idea. Maybe it's different in the breeding forum, I don't know. I **absolutely** support selling without breeding rights because we have such a pet overpopulation problem.
When I said overly sensitive, to be honest (and you like honesty, right?) I meant starting a thread like this where you say that getting a thread closed is "stiffling". I think it's great if you know a lot about yorkies, I would love to know more. But being knowledgable and passionate does not give you the right to be rude to other people. Not saying that you personally are, just that EVERYONE has to learn about tact and tone. If you are constantly being rebuffed, isn't there just the tiniest possibility that it's your approach, and not a failure of everyone else to listen?
