So,looking down on the rest of the world just because things are done slightly differently is not ok,and all that lecturing is not what the OP is usually asking for,you arent helping
Itīs not about people getting upset because they are seeing what they dont want to hear,itīs about getting a bunch of criticism when all you asked is a simple question about your puppy.




All serious breeders started somewhere.There was always that first litter and those first questions.This is a forum,people will ask questions...how can you (in general) nags someone for using this forum for its actual perpose? To EDUCATE
You cant lunge at someone who is asking questins and lash out with - "these are things you should know!!"...are you telling me that reputable yorkie breeders are born with all that knowledge?
Why cant there be new reputable breeders? Just because you dont want to give someone the info they are asking for because you think they should automatically know it all,it doesnt mean they wont do it anyway..so isnt it better to make sure they have all the info instead of denying them of the knowledge theyīll need?
Everyone,even the most wonderful and respectable breeders,started somewhere People come in here to do their research,thatīs what they are actually doing when they ask you (in general) the questions you get angry at them for asking



I understand that,and itīs awful



Of course..I think we all are here because we love our yorkies to death and because we want to know all there is to know about the breed in order to give them the best care we can possibly give them - ALL of us.
I just dont believe in giving someone the cold shoulder or being hostile just because they are from a place that hasnt followed the YTCA word for word.I cant find it in me to hijack someones thread and ask over and over again WHY they have their puppy so soon or how itīs not their buisness to be thinking of breeding etc etc.
I awnser their questions and hope theyīll stick around to learn more If they stay,they might learn (all by themselfs) that certain things are not such a good idea,but if you p*ss them off and make them leave,they learn nothing

Repeating things is not lecturing it is making sure everyone knows and is educated about things a lot of posters only read there posts. Things are different here then in the country you live. Good breeders hear follow the YTCA. Also when some one asks why there puppy is biting and wants to know how to stop it. If they mention getting the pup at 8 weeks that is why the pup has a biting problem so it is answering there question and then I give advise of how I stopped my pup from doing it. Most people here give the advise as well as education it most of is done nicely but people take typed words out of context. Every first time breeder should have mentor and the mentor should be able to answer all there questions as well as recomend some books. I understand certain questions but you should not come here to be told how to breed on this board because then EVERYONE will do it when already to many are doing it. I get helping them when its been done and there dog is going to be in trouble but when they haven't done it yet they should be educated as far as risks and everything else its not all sunshine and roses. Other people who you meet on a post board should not be telling you how to breed a mentor should who has done it before and let you see some whelps, vets should do it and experts/vets who have written many books on it should. You absolutely can not just get to dogs together and breed its the reason here we have so many unwanted dogs, sick dogs, and nonstandard dogs. You see anger in my words but you don't know that is the context it is said in you also have not been around the board long enough to see what happens when people don't know what there doing and get two dogs together and get into trouble. You also have not been around long enough to know how many sick pups we have seen younger then 12 weeks and many have died. You can do things your way and others will do there things the way they want to I believe you even said that. You can see my words one way when six other people can see them different ways. I do not want people to go through what I have with a dog who although is my life and I love more then anything go through all the problems my dog has had because of a puppy mill/ bad breeder. I don't want to see this dogs suffer anymore for things that can be avoided if the breeders where just better and cared more. The only way to stop these breeders is to educate people and stop buying from them.
