What does me rescuing and saving the lives of throw away dogs have to do with me considering to breed my little female yorkie??
I believe I should rethink my participation here. I've even recommended this site to 2 other people. My daughter and a friend. 
If anything, I am leaving here more confused than when I started.
Belittling and hand slapping is no way to treat new inquiring members. I am the type that would have stuck around and given back to the community in any way that I could have. However, I understand that sometimes the internet, being anonymous, is an outlet for superiority complex.
I'll buy some books.
Take care! |
Yorkie talk
is not exclusively a purebreed forum, we have lots of folks here with mixes of various kinds etc. There are members here who are heavily involved in rescue as well. Members who train, members who do agility, just all sorts of different kinds of folks, with different kinds of dogs.
Most here seem to be united by a passionate love of Yorkies, but also of dogs in general.
I'm sorry you have found your experience to be unsettling and disturbing.
