I understand how we all take this seriously and care about proper breeding practices with our beloved yorkies but I have seen on this forum how some use this venue to cut people apart who do not believe as they do. Those who feel that because they belong to a certain club or they have certain credentials or they have bred a certain number of years that they are the be all and end all and they use words to belittle and degrade. |
It is very kind of you to support this person and update everyone. Thank you.
Others offered support as well, and it didn't appear to me that it had to do with a certain club or belief system. I think everyone was terribly concerned about the life of this dog. I think the advice given to get this dog to a vet immediately would have been the same regardless of age, experience, or anything else. That's just my opinion though.

She offerred no information on her age or detailed information on what was transpiring.
If you are insinuating that either of us are directing hate mail to this young lady and her family there is no validity to that accusation.
This young lady had been posting desperate posts on several older posts over the last 48 hours, requesting advice and not taking it. Where were her parents during this situation. They should be monitoring their daughter's internet actions.
As I stated above, damned if you do and damned if you don't. |
Mary, you and Jim have always offered
all breeders support during whelping - even when/if they weren't breeding under appropriate conditions. I can't even count the number of times you have helped complete strangers on this forum.
