Sounds like drama...
I don't understand though why the secrecy-if you breed, you have a site, you use Yorkie Talk so obviously you understand it's value.
If you send clients here...I'm just saying, so when people "Google" and find your site why wouldn't you promoting Yorkie Talk under your favorite links, things, etc etc.
I mean many people list their favorite dog food, favorite toys, etc why not favorite information, education, sharing source etc?
I think it's one thing to display your user name on your site or maybe even to give it out but why aren't I seeing it linked at all? Again I'm not pointing at anyone here specifically but I notice some people promote their site/page/breeding/self/sales here, so why not vise versa?
As it was noted just by people's pics and their posts here it really isn't hard to figure out who most people are. I'm not a breeder but people can totally find me from here if they have access to my information in other places.
IDK Maybe I am being difficult
I just don't really understand it other than username privacy, or my not seeing the link's on people;s pages/sites etc. Quote:

The group has since evolved to a general small breed group which we can all be members of, and there is still a lot of arguing and bickering, we recently had to kick a member off who thought she was a know it all, and was making rude false accusations.
So that being said I don't blame breeders for not directly giving their information. Online information can be misleading at times, so keeping your reputation solid and avoiding misleading things is very important when running a business. |
