I enjoy the discussion about bringing home puppy. One of the posters was right in that just because YTCA says something, doesn't mean it's so, since there are a number of people who own yorkies that do not live in the US.
I am grateful of the things that I did learn from this thread. I am happy that there is something that I can tell people that are looking to buy puppies. An ounce of knowledge can be worth a pound of prevention, (not exactly the correct quote, but appropriate, I think). There is not ONE person on this board that wants anyone to have to deal with a sick or dying puppy, especially if the puppy is sick and dying primarily from being brought home too early.
But a few of these posts have gone off topic, and it seems to me, to be scab picking between members that have past issues with each other. That bothers me, because we are adults (I THINK, lol), we should be able to deal with the randomness and insanity that comes from having a lot of people with a lot of different views in one place.
In any case, it would be really nice if we can stay on topic. Even if we can't get along, can we not at least be civil? I'm fine with discussing the various aspects of taking home puppy at different ages, and why some people may be comfortable taking them home earlier, and why some may think it's better... But if the MODs think it's prudent to close the thread, well, then I bow to your greater knowledge, ability and power
