Please note that there are two stickied threads dedicated to this topic in the looking for a yorkie area of this site, where it should be.
Take into consideration that most people who come to this site, come here to acquire information about a breed they have ALREADY purchased. I have seen too many members bash and belittle a first time member over where they have purchased their dog in the last few months. Do I seem concerned about any of the "breeders" here?
Where did this hierarchy come from, this elitist attitude? How informed were you prior to getting your own dog?
Puppy mills and backyard breeders exist and it is a sad fact. Should puppies already purchased from an unreputable breeder be drowned in a sack along with the uninformed new owner? Again, do I seem concerned about any breeders? Perhaps it is the "new owner" I am defending. You know, one trying to CARE for and love their new dog by visiting this site.
It seems to be the message you are putting across.
I went about things the “right” way but that dosnt make me any better, it doesn’t make you any better and it certainly doesn’t make any person any worse for simply not knowing.
As a kid growing up in a city I always thought all dogs came from pet shops. For every breeder in my area there are at least 100 little shops in a mall selling puppies. Google “yorkie”, even “yorkie breeders” and at least 50 people you don’t want to buy a dog from pop up. Did you feel as though I was advizing people to google people they "dont want to buy from"? Perhaps I was pointing out how easy it is to become missinformed.

So someone made the mistake of purchasing a dog from a breeder that TRICKED them into thinking they were doing the right thing, AGAIN, do I seem empathetic of concerned with the breeder here?
should we damn that dog and the new owner, especially if coming here in hopes to learn about this breed and how to CARE for it?
If you woke up today and logged on to nag and complain then at least try to find the right place to do so, because if I never read another line about where to purchase a dog and how to do it “the right way” I would die a happy woman. Again, most of the people on this site ALREADY OWN a yorkie.
If your on a mission to educate there are much better places and ways to do it. Common sense would say to target people who have YET to purchase a dog.
Yes, so some of this anger is spilling out from privious posts. Perhaps if this is the only "breeder" "buying" "bought" thread you have read, it might not make sence, I just cant hold it in anymore.
Arg. So freaking done with this conversation.
I’m now off to go drop off some old towels from my hotel to our local animal shelter instead of read piss and vinegar from people that do nothing.

In other words, you can’t change the past. Look toward the future and try to prevent, not lecture people on what they can’t change.

and... instead of sitting here on your computer complaining about the world, go out and make a difference.

I apologize if in my anger I did not come across as clearly as needed for you to understand but perhaps instead of ripping into my post you should have started by asking me what I meant prior.
As a fellow member, I of course own, love and care for my own yorkie as well as the wellbeing of other animals.
If you can point out one person on this site that condones puppy mills or backyard breeding and outwardly posts in favor of it then I guess I deserved the attack rather than asking me to explain myself.
