As someone else said in an earlier thread. It's very sad that people view YT as a place to bail them out of whelping trouble. They feel that it is ok to breed irresponsibly and when the going gets rough, depend on the fact that all they have to do is post "help" and experienced people will come out of the woodwork to help. It's happened over and over again, that that always doesn't happen, especially if your girl goes into labor in the wee hours of the morning. |
Well, see, I posted
my question so that someone would consider posting what you posted...something listed, to the point, easy to understand, etc. I already knew what the majority of the members here think about those of us who are stupid enough to even
think about breeding sub-standard, inner-bred or cross-bred mongrels.
And for the record I wasn't asking anyone here to hold my hand when the whelping begins. I was simply asking (in my general forum thread) what some other signs of pregnancy were. I am positive EVERYONE here had the same question when they realized her female was possibly pregnant the first time. It doesn't mean ignorance--if anything it means true concern.
Just what IS the purpose of YorkieTalk forums? If it is to solely encourage the responsible breeding of Yorkshire Terriers then a statement bearing that mission should be a popup to read and acknowledge before permission to post is granted. Otherwise you
are going to have inane questions being asked over and over.
Maybe instead of a question/answer forum for just anyone it should be a "sit on your hands and just read what the professionals post" cyber lecture site.
At any rate, the atmosphere of the forum is what it is...
So...now I know what a "reputable" breeder is and I thank all who took time to post. I will keep those who are truly interested updated via private messages.
