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.  |
Whew wee sister...didn't mean to rattle your cage so hard. Pull your little paws back and pull the nails in.
I'm fine with my dog, she's healthy and happy even if she is small. I didn't have a choice in doing any research before I got her. She was a surprise gift from my husband and neither of us knew the difference between the ACA or the AKA! I never once called anyone condensending. And please....the KKK??? You "bama's" need to get over that...we have!
So you don't like the ACA...I could give a rat's petuty! The woman was rude and she did insinuate that my dog (small yorkie) was "not up to standard".
And you are correct in saying that the members on here,
some of them, are very nice and have sent me PM's that have helped me. I didn't get scammed by getting a small dog. I got her from a reputable breeder and they have been in business for over twenty years. I was scared when I read some of the things on here about the very small dogs. Jazzi is fine and I am no longer worried after talking to a few of the nice folks on here.
Sure am glad I don't judge everyone by your behavior though! Keep your panties out of a knot and you will have a better life!!!
Yall come back now ya hear?
