Ok, I said I would refrain from posting any more, but now you have me very ticked off! Golden Parti is a very great breeder, and I've talked extensively with him about many problems. HE has always been kind, caring and considerant to everyone! You have no need to attack him for any reason at all!
I HAVE followed suggestions that were given to me by this group! The Xpen is being used, and I also put Calypso up for adoption before I even put anything on this group about her!!!!
I did NOT use my cane to hit them!!! I used the shaft of it to try to pry them apart - no different then the specail gloves someone else used.
As far as the taxes, we could have paid for them, but the money helped us. What do you do with the money when you sell pups?
THAT is not the main reason we have Yorkies!!!! If we were only interested in the money part of it we would be beyond broke! We have invested a lot of time and money to acquire better dogs and have a better breeding program.
We did NOT get her pregnant on purpose!!! We at that time didn't know the signs to look for -- so sue me, we were new to this at the time. We didn't even know to say that she was abused until after she was pregnant. We bought her from a lady in our state, who raises Yorkies, and we trusted her. Now we get to know the breeder quite well before we buy a puppy from them. We all learn as we go, so if you want to condemn me, for being uninformed then go ahead.
I keep very good records now of all the dogs and puppies; all are up-to-date on shots; they have their teeth cleaned once a year; and anything else that they need is well provided for. They lack for nothing, and are completely house raised. The only time they are outside for anything, is when they use the doggy door to go potty. They are clean, brushed, and get baths!
Ok, so I'm not in the same league as a lot of you, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad person, and that I don't love my dogs and take very good care of them.
I have not critized any of you for having a big kennel set up where they are in cages and used like livestock to produce puppies. It's not my place to judge anyone or put them down. All I was asking for was some friendly advice -- which is what I thought YT was all about!!!! Instead you get me so upset that my blood pressure is sky high!
Everyone has gone way off the deap end on this thread, and blown everything waaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion.
The fights have stopped with the dogs because I took the advice and seperated them. We do NOT just raise them or have them for the money part of it!!!
I am seriously thinking of getting off of YT because of this thread! It's unbelievable to me, how many hurtful and mean things have been said. This is suppose to be a helpful place where you can say what is in your heart and on your mind, without being condemned and people wanting to make it so that you don't have Yorkies. My hubby said said, I shouldn't have said anything at all to the group about this problem -- guess he was right! God, himself, knows that we love our dogs and take very good care of them. HE is the only judge that counts. God bless you all, and I hope that the next person that has a problem, doesn't get treated this way. Please don't continue to take statements and stretch them all our of portion to make it seem like it is more then what it was meant to be.

P.S. Golden Yorkie, I'm soooooooo sorry that they dragged you into this -- you didn't deserve that at all. |
