If we are true Dog Lovers and care about them like we seem to...we have to help put an end to Puppy Mills.  |
Yorkietalk is a forum for all, there are rules set forth in the "stickies" at the top of this forum. I think generally, YTers comprise a vast group of people. I know that amongst us we have Reputable breeders, unethical breeders, we have activists and pascifists! We comprise every aspect of the Yorkie World.
In fairness to the ethical breeders out there I would tell you that the majority of us, not ALL, but the majority of us support ethical breeders who are breeding to improve the breed and we, as a whole do not swing so far right that we think no one should breed.
There are some great breeders here and some totally unscrupulous breeders who know damn well they are breeding to make money off the backs of their poorly bred dogs. They are breeding mutts and unproven pups and selling them for outrageous prices. While I wish YT didn't comprise of "those" we unfortunately have to accept that admin has a right to make this a forum available to all who adhere to the rules.
If you are asking if we are all against breeders period???? ABSOLUTELY not, quite contrare.
If you look around a bit here on YT you will see many, many, many threads that reflect the various schools of thought and the passion for we all feel for the the pups.
So in a nutshell, if you want to hang around here you definitely will have to grow a thick skin and be open to various opinions and schools of thought and be a member in good standing!!
Welcome to YT!!!
