Mardelin.....You replied to me saying, "I have never heard of her and I showed in the Texas AREA ???" That's just silly ! Surely you are aware there are probably thousands of YORKIE breeders in Texas that you couldn't possibly have heard of ???

I posted the personal experience I had with this breeder and her kennel. I don't think whether you have "heard" of her is relevant in any way ?? My post was intended for the member asking about breeders in my area. I can't fathom why would you comment at all ?

Since I, and one of my friends, have a couple of Mary's babies, I believe I am more than qualified to relate the personal experience I have had with her....and I certainly shouldn't have to be attacked by you and your buddy Tegamom1 for doing so !!

You gals pounced on the veracity of my post; looked at Mary's website, then questioned her reputation and called her a "broker." What is with you ?

Tegamom1 - Mary Ann.....Your comments .... "All it takes is one look at this web site ! Screams broker ! Come here for the first time singing praises for these people....hmmmmm" "Well at least they are sold with limited registration." Who are you to make those comments about my personal story/experience with this breeder ? How childish; how TOTALLY uncalled for; and how wreckless.

A member asked about locating a puppy in Houston, ,...You weren't that member Tegamom1- Mary Ann ? NOR were you Mardelin ?? There was NO reason for either of you to respond, much less question my motives and Mary's reputation !!!

I never understand what compels people like you to "lurk" around a friendly website like this, looking for an argument, picking at people. I understood this website to be intended to promote the exchange of friendly information between Yorkie Owners.

Mardelin, I see that you have over 8000 posts since 2006 ?????!!!! That's unbelievable !!! I think that was an average of over 6 a day ???? You must be sooooo busy on this website ????

I enjoy reading the forums and stories on Yorkie Talk and looking at all of the pictures of the pretty babies that everyone posts. I think it is incredibly unfortunate that my VERY, VERY first post attracted the likes of you two.

You girls should run along now and ignore anything I post, it certainly won't be intended for you. Go hunt yourselves someone else to pick on. Comments like you made in this case are extremely detrimental to those of us on this website who really would like to exchange honest information about our beloved Yorkies.

I am going to contnue to enjoy Yorkie Talk just as I did before this unfortunate exchange amd I am going to share any and all information that I feel is helpful to another Yorkie lover.

ok - I need to jump in here regarding a few comments you made.

With the amount of posts that Mardelin has - I wouldn't call her a "lurker". You're the one that's been registered here for quite some time and have very few posts. Mardelin does contribute to this forum on a daily basis, HELPING people. It isn't all about cute pictures. There are people who need help from "experienced" breeders - which she happens to be.

The second comment you made, that I highlighted, was no better than what you complained about in your first statement. I know you felt attacked but it wasn't about you - it was about the breeder you suggested.

After looking at your breeders page, the only thing I would say is that it looks like she has 2 dogs that were Championed by another kennel and that she has approximately 22 dogs listed as "Our Yorkies". Thats' ALOT!

This is a forum and if you post something - someone will always have something to say about it. I'm sorry - that's just the way it is. People do try to help other people on here - in whatever way they can. Some know about breeding, some know about showing, some know about posting pictures.... And if someone asks about where to get a puppy - you are going to have a lot of suggestions and opinions.

BTW - Mardelin & Tegamom1 are/have been in breeding/showing for many years.
