So if we are going to generalize I would say that all breeders make money from their puppies. If they didn't make money they couldn't continue to do it and spend all the money they do on the dogs.

I continue to come here mainly to find techniques on grooming etc for a Yorkie which is different than the dogs I have owned and cared for for 30 years. There are things I can learn here that will be helpful to me with Bella. I can also share my knowledge with others on this board. Just because I am new to the board doesn't mean I am in dire need of being led by the masters. We all have something to share here and we won't all ever agree on everything.

Just because some people are more vocal or talk louder doesn't make you right. This thread is just beating a dead horse. Just agree to disagree.

i have to agree
