I think that the opportunity should be seized to educate and not just huff and puff about how this is a PUREBRED Yorkshire Terrier only community because I don't think it is. I saw a question about Labrador whelping (I think it was a lab, but I could be mistaken. It was definitely a large dog though). You don't see anyone giving THEM grief for posting on a YORKSHIRE TERRIER forum. They just received advice. I think that's what this community is for, to provide advice. Sure maybe you don't feel right pointing them to a mix breeder, but you can try to educate them however you see fit without being condescending.
I think Reese1 does a particularly good job of making nice posts about rescues and I notice they post in almost every mix thread.  |
