I think this site would run a lot smoother (no hurt feelings, etc.) if people remembered they're on a site of primarily yorkie owners/breeders & not many, if any
vets, dieticians, etc.
When someone asks me a question anywhere & I don't have the exact scientific explanation/answer I say "well I would... or would not..." Then it's
my opinion, either based on what I've done, experienced or whatever & it's up to the person to value what I offer or not. Otherwise I think the OP should address someone on a one on one basis to hear what they want to hear.
Just like at work or school or the grocery store, everyone can answer the same question differently-nice, rude, short, sweet. Part of learning is learning to deal with the different ways you may be taught something. Of course I try to give & get respect like the next person but some subjects will be touchy depending on someones passion & that has to be expected when you're dealing with such a large group.
