Lynzy I am sorry that you would get from my posts that I am an advocate of Tanisha's if that was true I would not have said publicly she should not breed or offer stud services. I am against any breeder that tries to mess with the standards of the breed and I have been long before becoming a member of Yorkie Talk. I was appalled and disgusted after being gone for several days to NY to open up my FB and to see the fundraising efforts plastered all over it. I contacted several members of the group to see if they felt the same, I was relived to find most agreed with me.
Because my name was mentioned in earlier posts I stated what I have seen. What I have seen leads me to believe that if someone was in it just for the money they would not have told the whole yorkie community about Mia's problem, they would have swept it under the rug, I have even known show breeders to hide things like this. Because I have made this observation does not mean I agree with her or what she is doing. I like discussion threads where while you might not agree with some things both sides are talked about, I don't like threads where everyone just joins the bashing bandwagon and I would think most yorkie talkers are the same. You are correct every dog counts, but it does not negate the fact she is a small breeder, IMO should she be breeding, no, but a fact is a fact and she is a small breeder. I said this only so others reading the thread would know that.
I was interested to read about the opportunity she has to surrender the pup, I think that is a good idea, because while I think she is trying to get it help, I don't think her financial and family situation is right for this puppy. I will be letting her know what I think and also be letting others in the group know of this as well, who knows maybe I will make a difference, but if any of you know a family member or friend that has not taken advice you have given you will understand if nothing changes. |
