They are all just there making assumptions about the breeder and the incident without knowing the whole story. They are making suggestions on how to take her down and ruin her reputation. It all just seemed really hurtful. To me, there is a difference between offering support and concern versus damning the other party.
I may have seemed quick to draw my own conclusions during the 2 seconds that I have been on this forum. My apologies as I was not at all prepared for the sheer amount of negativity I would receive involving myself in this. I am completely new to this type of community as have since gained perspective from a few peers who are more well versed in online forums. They told me that forums are built for hostile venting, it’s why many people are here. I did not know this because I was expecting the type of people that you are describing, the wonderful, kind, supportive, intelligent, passionate, and friendly types.
I understand the great concern that this community has for the wellbeing of this breed, of course, this is a community is dedicated to Yorkies. I would expect no less from all of the members here. I can assure you that the breeder in question is not unethical in her breeding practices. She made one mistake in a moment of weakness and apparently that is all this community can tolerate.
I am sure that many members will continue to have responses about what I have just said. They will pull out sentences here and there to offer up their negative opinions on my texts. I fear posting anything else since it seems to just turn into an endless destructive cycle of one human being trying to put down another human being. That has been my experience thus far on the YorkieTalk forums and this first impression has left more than a sour taste in my mouth. |
I am upset by your statement. I have always tried to see both sides of an argument. For you to make a generalization like this is an attack, the very thing that you are accusing others about. I joined this forum not to be bitter or hostile but because I purchased a puppy with health issues and congenital defects that I spent over 7 thousand dollars in medical expenses in the first year because of a breeder who did not care about what I and my dog suffered through because once they had their money I was nothing to them. YT members offered support and advice on how to seek proper medical treatment. What we are upset about is your friends business practices is how she handles difficult issues and honors her contract. She does not have to address us here on YT but she is honor bound to contact the people who purchased a puppy from her that died due to a congenital issue and help resolve the issue.
Yes in life there will be people who attack, who respond emotionally that happens in life and not just online forums. Everyone makes mistakes it is how we correct them that shows our true colors. I understand you protecting your friend I don't understand her not honoring a business contract and accusing the buyers of intentionally harming their dog or implying something was deceptive about their Vet and the autopsy. I agree people make mistakes and do deserve second chances but in order to deserve a second chance you must strive to correct your prior mistakes.
