I think this thread became messy for a few reasons. The OP is already frustrated because she has been through heated questions about her byb decision. I imagine she titled the thread because she didn't want a repeat smackdown. It was a good title, got those that are passionate interested. Some of the first feedback remarks were from someone that may not have seen or been part of the other thread so lots of the same criticism innocently came up. The most passionate "offenders" are those that have been through this and it's a personal issue.
When someone goes looking for a pup there are better and best ways to strive for a dog that looks and acts like a Yorkie and is as healthy as a good breeder can plan. Even doing that does not guarantee you won't have issues but at least you will know you tried AND you are not supporting someone who is either abusive (puppy mills) or ignorant (byb).
We need to help people who are searching for advice and support people who are struggling with a poor decision. |
