I did not read your post that way and did not aim my remarks at you. I do apologize for offending you personally.

I'm sure she won't be back to read all of your rude comments so you might as well go pick on someone else as I'm sure you've already scared her away instead of helping her and her dog. This site does have very useful and helpful information on it if the person is brave enough to look around for it, but most people would just leave and never come back. Sorry, I usually keep quiet but it just saddens me that people come here looking for help and instead they get told what a horrible person they are, over and over again, every reply is the same, isn't once enough? |
I stand by what I said:
"I understand your concern but when you have been on here as long as us you will also get tired of trying to talk new owners out of breeding. You can't imagine the expense and heartbreak this owner is in for."
I was a newbie myself when I came here for help. I brought a little seven week old yorkie home. The next day she was sick and that night she nearly died. I was kindly told that she was too young to leave her mother and to return her. It wasn't an option at the time. I was then given strick instructions to take her to an emergency clinic. I did and they saved her life - BECAUSE I LISTENED TO THE ADVICE I WAS GIVEN. For the next two weeks I was on here every day giving progress reports and feeding tips to help my little Adie grow strong and beat her illness. I became a loyal member of this board and became friends with these "Rude" people you criticize.
When kind words and treatment fail to get through the only recourse is stern advice. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. And NOBODY called the OP a horrible person.
