As a newbie, I have already noticed that there are many questions posted repeatedly (eg. "Is it a full breed?", "What food?"", "Breeder problems"). I assume that some of the frustration from the seasoned YTers could be due to the lack of effort of Yorkie owners to do their research. Many Yters have made mistakes and have dedicated their lives to stopping puppy mills and preserving the Yorkie breed. Over time, it is expected that one would become jaded. However, I do agree that we need to be respectful to one another and encourage others to educate the world on these issues.
Great thread and post!  |
I know sometimes I don't word things the greatest and I know sometime I get a little annoyed when the same questions about breeding comes up a lot all of a sudden and I know sometimes you can tell in my posts. But I just want to give info and let people know getting a pup from a bad breeder can mean getting a pup with lots of issues and it's so hard to see them hurting and having to go through so much pain when all the breeder had to do was care and do some testing and such.
