However, I think most people would respond better to advice if it was given in a nicer way. I'm not trying to start an argument and I'm not saying that EVERYONE who posted was mean, rude, etc...There were several people who were very friendly. However I don't think posts calling someone "dumb" or telling them to go ahead and breed and let the dog die or necessary or even helpful.
I realize that most of the people on this board are very protective and there's nothing wrong with that. I promise you that I would cause serious injury to anyone who tried to harm my Yorkies. I just think that sometimes before we post it's better to take a minute and think out what we want to say. |
Well, I would not have even had that tone with her but it is OBVIOUS that she is unwilling to take all of the great advice she was given.
It get pretty disturbing when every day there is at least one post like the OPer's and when good solid advice it given they get mad.
There are several reputable Yorkie breeders that came and adviced to not breed and she was unwilling to listen. It is obvious that there was no thought going into breeding a 12 lb male to a 6 lb female.
That is just so out of line with any type of breeding practices! I am sorry that you feel that there were people who posted that were "nice" but IMO this thread started out just fine with members offering good sound advice and the OPer became defensive and acted as thought she was being attacked because of her
breeding plans.
But of course this is JMHO
