I am not stating my opinion based on the fact that you found the dog a new home. Obviously, after reading your other thread, you can't afford to have the dog. In that case, finding a new home is great is it is the "right" home.
But with that said, I think you do have to be careful about where they end up. I will never ever agree with you about Craigslist because I just think it is wrong. Do you know how many people look for free Yorkies?? To me, Craigslist is an open invitation.
I have a friend trying to rehome a pup right now and we are not posting it on Craigslist. I also will not agree with you about rescues. As a matter of fact, I am a little shocked at your response about them. Yet, you think members here are being judgmental?
I know the work involved in the rescues. I know they go above and beyond to do what is best for these pups. Go read some of the stories here. Then you might understand why the members here get so passionate about things like this. I also know that they make sure the pup is fixed before it is placed in another home. Was this pup fixed??? Did you get her fixed before giving her to another owner who also has a male? Was the male fixed? They can end up in the wrong hands and become breeders very easily.
In my opinion, you are not being bullied as you say. Members are trying to make you understand what COULD happen to these pups if you are not careful. Yes, they are used as breeders, yes they could be used as bait, and yes I am sure there are many other things. With that said, many times people can present good homes and not really be. Rescues will do vet reference checks and home visits as well as any extra steps needed to find a good home.
As far as finding pets for sell here on YT, just like anywhere else you have to be careful. We are not saying that every breeder here is the best breeder in the world. But I can say this, if they are a good breeder you will not find them on Craigslist selling pups.
Many of us on here want to educate others as we have a true passion and love for the breed. Sadly, many don't like what we have to say. I will say this, If Ladyjane told me something about a Yorkie, I would take it to the bank. Her knowledge and experience for this breed is something that most can not hold a stick too. Trust me, she KNOWS what she is talking about. |
