So is that all it takes for an organization to be deemed as "respected?"
For them to "have been around for a long time?" The KKK and Al Queda have been around for a long time too...

I am not sure why you are so upset...you asked a question, said that you were afraid you had been scammed, and then got upset with some of the members here for answering your questions in an informative manner and called them rude and condescending?
You've "been through a lot"? So have I. So have most of the members here at one point or another.
This is a GREAT forum with load of information. The members are great and always willing to lend a hand. The members here are all very passionate about Yorkies are the overall well being of the breed. Most here do not support indiscriminate breeding practices, which most feel includes trying to produce extremely small dogs instead of healthy, quality representations of the breed as per the standard. People here encourage others to research the breed and red flags typically associated with unethical breeders FIRST, before buying a dog. Educating yourself on Yorkies BEFORE you buy one helps you make informed decisions and avoid being lied to and taken advantage of and finding themselves in the same situation as you yourself are in now.
No one here is claiming to be a saint or trying to make you feel like you, or your dog, don't 'measure up to anyone's standards.' I have found though that if you start out
looking to be offended by something, you will generally not be disappointed. I would suggest that you stick around and you will see that everyone here shares the same passion for this breed as I'm sure you do and the main concern of members is to help educate, answer questions, chat, share stories etc. If THAT is not something that you agree with, then yes, I would say that you have picked the wrong forum.
