The definition of helpful is "giving or ready to give help", synonymous with beneficial. I recognized everyone who was helpful to my OP. If this is a forum who declares that anyone has the right to post what they feel is important, then I also have that same right. I was asking for HELP, not selective off topic criticism nor passionate opinions opposite of my questions. Helpful criticism that is relevant to my question(s) were very welcomed, but intellectual Yorkie scholars who (because that is their right and passion to do so) felt compelled to give and continue to give their facts and opinions that were, to put it mildly, "less than helpful". I am not the only one that these forum members have done this to, which is why I had made that inclusion in my OP about being somewhat reserved to starting a new thread (paraphrased). These other members did to me what they have done to many others and from what I've gathered is that YT has been gaining a less than stellar reputation on its treatment of other members that may not be so schooled, such as those who have spent years and years and thousands and thousands of dollars that they have sacrificed to making the breed better....They started "somewhere".

I really do appreciate you being somewhat neutral on this thread, but if I'm the underdog here and my posts were the easy ones to separate from its context to "help" others down the road, then so be it.

Item number one of "New Users Please Read & YorkieTalk Guidelines", located in FAQS states:
"1. Please be civil and do not personally attack anyone or their opinions. If you disagree with their approach or method, feel free to reply, but do it in a civil way. Or you can choose to ignore their post altogether."

You stated above that no one can dictate who replies and who doesn't, then why does it state "you can choose to ignore their post altogether"? That tells me that the person reading posts can dictate their own choice to not reply. I do realize that this applies to me as well. My reason for responding was to continually insist the ongoing nature of my OP and to try to deter those members who felt so strongly a need to reply and cause my OP to become littered with answers/opinions/passionate beliefs/drama that did not help me (or anyone else that may have the same or similar question).

If the worst thing I did here was to symbolically portray other members "as vultures" regarding how they give their help/answers/opinions/passionate beliefs towards my OP, then I am at fault and truly ask for forgiveness. However, it seems a bit inequitable to use the one thing that I said to portray their behavior in how their answers were given/delivery of content and not address ALL of those members whose answers did not apply or were not relevant or helpful to my OP.

Wylie's Mom, I do sincerely thank you for all the time you spent to help moderate this thread.

I never say I am a scholar or anything like that but I do know if your not bettering the breed then you should not breed. More then just you read this post and my hope is someone doing research on breeding will see this thread and see what is not ok to do and what is. You say everyone has to start somewhere and yes they do but they try to start as right as possible which is with standard yorkies, testing done and so on and you didn't do that so I don't feel you can use that argument. You don't breed to make money, you don't breed to give you dog the mothering experience that they wouldn't even miss, you breed to better the breed and by breeding non standard yorkies you are not doing that.
