I saw the other thread. Attacking another person on breed type? That was just the beginning. Yes, Mary did make a comment about a topline. But as being the person you are, you either didn't have the confidence or the diplomacy to ask about that statement. If the statement bothered me, I would speak up. Mary is first to say why didn't you say something. This isn't about being right. You don't get the purple ribbon for giving out bad information. This is a keyboard too.
Black comment: In yorkies where? In my yorkie world there are many. But if you are talking about the vast majority then I will agree with you. The majority doesn't know any dogs. The majority of yorkie people don't know anything about the history or our breed, genetics, breed type, pedigrees, breeding, etc. I could on for days. I feel like your statement was to imply that the yorkie fanciers do not. Is this correct?
Red comment:Not enough. You didn't learn any more about the breed today, but you sure told others that you can snap at innocent people.
purple comment: Who was it that said practice what you preach?

As I tried to tell you in the other thread. There is a lot of expertise OUTSIDE the Yorkie breed. I have never claimed to be an expert. Quite the contrary. I have had the privilege of having sat at the knee of some true experts and gained enough knowledge to know how much I don't know. Joining this forum to learn about Yorkies ended with where to buy pee pads and what kind of dresses to buy. There are well over 100 AKC recognized breeds where people actually learn about dogs too. Your narrow focus on one breed will only perpetuate the problems I see in the breed today. It's hard to find someone in Yorkies who also knows dogs.
This thread constitutes a personal attack on a member out of frustration that I don't accept everything that's said here as expertise, but rather a lot of old breeders' tales and just plain old nonsense.
Some healthy skepticism would go a long way in some of these conversations. |
