In 12 days my puppies will be 10 weeks old then I can only imagine what reasons and disparaging comments I will receive at that point. I can be rest assured though that someone, or more than one, will have plenty of negative things to say about my puppies though |
Here is what I think; This is NOT YORKIES FOR SALE.COM it is Yorkie TALK.com. This is not a forum that was set up to be a platform for selling and buying yorkies. This forum is for Yorkie lovers, owners, enthusiasts, exhibitors, trainers, and yes we do have some breeders.
to me if the only reason you come on here
is to "sell" puppies, then you contribute little at all to this community. What makes this community rich, is the diversity of it's members, a whole host of truly caring folks, that put this breed, and the dog's health and well being foremost in their mind, and concurrently in their posts.
So I ask you, how many articles have you written for the YT library, how many times have you helped out in the Sick and Emergency forum; after all as a breeder one would hope you have superior knowledge and understanding of the health issues with YOrkies, that could be shared with distraught owners who are trying desperately to find out what is wrong with their sick puppy. What about the training forum, lots of questions there about training their young pup. Not too often I would guess, with only 11 posts in 2 years.
I would like to say; that for myself, whether through pm or not, or just listed on the FOR SALE thread, one of the things I'd be evaluating that breeder on is their contribution to this community. You don't contribute, you go on the reject list.
