There are a couple of people who believe we "need" it...I am not one of them; but it is not my forum. If they create a forum for that, it's all good in my book.
I personally don't understand the "need" but that does not mean it is not needed.
If it is confusing to people as you acknowledge it could be, then why do it? That is honestly my question.
Yes, if science does come up with a definitive answer, I agree all should be made aware; but the fact is there is no definitive answer for yorkies and IMHO people need to do what has been recommended until there is.
