I looked at your website and after careful scrutiny of your dams and sires, and the pups you are offering, I don't see any pups that would interest me. Maybe this is the issue, rather than your website, classified, and facebook ads.
Speaking specifically to the statements above that are
bolded/red. Yes, there ARE mean members here at YT, but you haven't encountered any of them yet. The members that you consider "mean" are simply giving their passionate opinions about a very touchy subject. Some members are just more eloquent with their posting than others
.
Most YT members are here because we share a passion about our yorkies and the well being of all yorkies in general. When we see what we clearly consider poor breeding practices, we get our hackles up. I honestly believe that there are a few good breeders who choose not to prove their bitches and sires by showing/championing, but very few. The vast majority of breeders - and here I am speaking of AKC breeders - don't circumvent the established methodoligy in determining the breeding quality of their sires and dams. In plain talk, their sires an dams have proven themselves in the show rings and by rigorous medical testing.
I don't really think anyone wants you to leave, but what we do want is to help educate you on what is a logical, methodical, time proven technique to determine quality sires and dams. It is very frustrating to those of us who have resided at YT for many years to tackle this touchy subject day in and day out in our endeavors to promote the betterment of the breed.
