And that is precisely why I am posting on this and other similar forums - to get not resistance, but help from people that deal with unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills on a first-hand basis. It is up to YOU to make Vadzilla a helpful tool we designed it to be. And as much as we would like it, it would not be feasible for us to dedicate a lot of resources to be an exhaustive source of information on EVERY breed. Instead, we chose to focus on the benefit we can provide to the ENTIRE INDUSTRY. We are a small family business, and we personally dont own Yorkies, or dogs at all (allergic  ). But just so you know - we went through a painful and long process of finding a good breeder with our two balinese cats last year, which was ultimately the reason we created Vadzilla.com.
As for my Donating status - I went through official channels and presented my case to the site admin, before I donated. I absolutely made sure that the nature of my business is understood and received specific instructions on where and how to frame my posts. I am now adhering to those instructions. Yes, my interest is mainly in advertising my service, as it relates to the breeder search, I am not denying it. I will only post when it is relevant and appropriate, just like in the case of this original post.
PS. You really have to try Amazon - they have a lot of great stuff  |
I am happy that you went through the official channels and followed the specific instructions from admin.
What you failed to realize is just because you got the blessing from admin, doesn't stop the members of YT from researching your site, commenting upon it, or the fact you have one post and are a donating member.
Just because we are members of YT does not mean we support every single decision the Admin makes. We can respect that decision, and still disagree with it.
We will post warnings about your site, as in my mind and many others, it is just a marketing or selling tool, with no really usefull info for would be puppy buyers.
You know where the really usefull info is here at YT.
Also do you know if you ask any question with Yorkie in the question, basically this site comes up first in any Google search.
Why? Because of the 100,000 of thousands of posts on here on everything Yorkie, including some very rare diseases, and common diseases.
As a show breeder there is nothing about your site that would attract me to list with you.
Your site has no credibility in my eyes. And I do business face to face so to speak.
