I have recieved replies that werent very nice. When I post a thread im just tring to learn. Im not being ignorant. If i was going to breed my two pups regardless of what people have said then I wouldnt have ever asked if they were breed quality.As much as i like to learn to maybe become a future breeder I feel that YT holds alot of great info but if people are going to argue over everything, accuse,and snap at people then YT may not be as popular as it once was and new YTers will be reluctant to ask questions.I feel that this sit is not just a chat room its like a library full of information on what we love the most or yorkies.When i check the breeder section I too want to read about breeding issues even though im not a breeder either.  |
i agree with everything you and Villette both have written. I am not a breeder yet either but I hope to be one day. Everytime, well almost everytime, I mention it, someone has to point out that I am inexperienced. It usually starts with the dreaded, "why do you want to breed". that is a baited question that I am way too smart to get drawn into altho it has gotten me on a few people's "ignore" list. especially when I explained that altho I am new to yorkie breeding, I have been my husband's 'right hand man' for close to thirty five years in his beagle breeding program. I can't even begin to count the Field Champions we have bred so I am not as inexperienced as people may think. Someone asked the other day why i wanted to breed and I told her "to pay off my credit cards". I am sure she thought that is what I would say so I had a little fun with it. I love to read the breeders forum. there are many wonderful, knowledgable breeders on here and i consider reading what they have to say as part of my research. It has become a "my dog is better than yours" thing at times but I really don't think it is meant to be. I think those people posing the questions or threads about their different breeds are only trying to challenge our minds with some very helpful info about certain things. I am sorry it has to be this way when it turns into heated debates. Sometimes I think the threads are "thought provking" and sometimes i just don't know. I, too, am a very outspoken person and sometimes get into trouble with my opinions but they are just that. Mine.
