I hope those other "kind" breeders are willing to step up to the plate, and even more importantly, I hope their advice is solid, too often, it isn't. What would you rather have, true, perhaps harsh advice, or supportive poor advice? |
True & harsh advice isn't bad. Like I said though, when the posts got nasty, there was no advice involved, just nastiness, and as far as I know....they weren't breeders either. But who knows...again, the breeders I have seen post offered advice....and then stated their feelings on the matter. Totally acceptable.
In other words, I was asking the non-advice giving folks to curtail their nastiness. And really, the ones that are nasty only are nasty...usually no advice given, or following a breeder's advice, might almost verbatim repeat that advice before posting their nastiness.
Basically, if you have nothing to say that is helpful, then don't say it! Even in this thread, folks were twisting my observation into a "rude" comment, as it's the eye of the beholder, etc.
When a person goes online & asks for help, it might not be because they are trying to avoid vet bills & get free info.
Had my hubby not gone online and researched Pinesol & Phenol poisoning...(I was at the vet with the first pup), we would not have known the cause. (I wanted to kick him for not realizing the 2nd pup was having the same symptoms when I came home. I grabbed the 2nd pup & back to the vet I went.
My pup was at the vet's, & they diagnosed liver shunt....till the 2nd one came in. WE were the ones that told them that we thought it was Pine-Sol poisoning, a couple hours after they had the pups.
He was online & doing searches, & researching.....and NOT trying to avoid vet bills...he doesn't pay the vet bills anyways...lol.
He just wanted to make sure the pups were being taken care of. And trying to find out everything he could. Granted there are folks out there that don't want to go to the vet....and don't have the money to go...or just don't want to spend the money to go.
But I saw that some posters got accused of this before anyone knew what was going on...
Again, I don't think these were breeders, just folks who passionately feel the way they should. And old-timers who have probably seen it all. I was just asking that before we pre-judge, call names, insinuate that they are less than human, & start attacking the OP, that we stop & think about what we are doing....
Also, it's part of the rules here....Yorkie Talk...Rules & Regulations, section B-part 1

We do not tolerate members who take advantage of our community with stories that don't make sense or those who post outright lies.

I was just asking for "Respectfully". It turned into a rather nice discussion..then a rather un-nice discussion, then some nice again, some nasty and now....I'm hoping for the conclusion here soon.
I've been called "rude" for just starting this thread.....lol.
A great thread all in all...some of you have seen it before, but like I said previously, I have learned a lot about individuals here since this thread. There are a lot of nice folks here!
