OP . . . I have been a pet lover and been owned for a long time. Dogs, cats, fish, even an iguana. I am a person looking for a pup since before I became a member. I am OCD. I research everything. I had knowledge of puppy mills, Byb and the YTCA. Then I found this group . I read a bunch of threads. I said wow there is a lot of great information here. I want to become a member. I did. I ask questions. I answer questions. I learn from them.
Everyone does not know everything. That is why we ask questions and learn. I still don't have a puppy. But when I get one, I will have a ton of knowledge in my back pocket. And a huge support system with the stuff I don't know.
Please understand that everyone here wants you to get the best pup you can. And you don't have to spend $2000-$3000 doing it. So please take a step back, take a breath and take everything in. Bottom line you do what you want. But know that we are here for anyone that wants help, show a pic or tell about our day. We are a dorky yorkie family
