I understand the frustration coming from both sides. I've been here for years and have seen all the same stories and more then some of you older members.

Yes this thread may remind you of countless other threads of the same theme from very new members. Yes a lot of those other threads ended badly, the owner never came back to update us, puppies died, mothers died, etc, etc, etc... But the fact is THIS person, other new members, and people who aren't members are reading this for the FIRST time. They do not know the frustrations and anger the older members have towards situations like this because of past threads so when you pounce on them things quickly go downhill for everyone involved, including the dogs.

Perhaps its better to say what you have to say, whether it be helpful or critical, in a respectful way. Everyone deserves respect. This is a forum designed to talk about yorkies, share our love for the breed, and help others. So why don't we do that? If you have critical thoughts that need to be said, maybe you can post links to a few similar older threads that may shed some light on your feelings so the OP and others may understand more where you are coming from.

Or the easiest thing to do if you don't like what is being said is to not say anything at all. Simple as that.
