I'm sorry you took that as a personal attack it just seems odd to me. |

So you are telling me in this world if some comes up to you and tells you something you are just going to straight up believe them no if ands or butts about it? You also can't tell me that it wouldn't seem strange for someone to start posting on a breeder review arguing for the breeder when they don't know the breeder or normally do that? I even apologized for crying out loud! |
This thread has bothered me after the first post. I feel very badly that the owner and the puppy who broke its leg after the first day had to go through that. I wish things could be worked out amicably between the two of them by having an honest exchange between the two.
What I have seen on this thread is a lack of respect. We don't know any of the facts, and it always bothers me that without any apparent proofs, breeders are being regarded as disreputable based upon the opinions of some. I agree with Brit that breeders are not highly regarded by many on this site. I am fully aware that there are many disreputable breeders, but to paint a broad stroke against all breeders is strictly unfair.
I'm sorry Taylor that you got Callie from a broker and that she has had so many problems. I appreciate that you advocate for pups, but there are people with feelings who are hurt when your opinions are being posed as fact. It doesn't matter if you say "in my opinion". You gather together information that you dislike on a website and use that to say they are disreputable. Without truly knowing someone or their breeding program, you tout your opinions as fact. I know you're not the only one to call breeders disreputable, but you don't seem to let go and it's all so black and white to you.
Your apology to Gemy was not an apology at all. If someone has earned my respect, yes I do believe them at their word. Actually, I believe someone until I find they are being untruthful. A true apology would be to say, "I'm sorry I implied that" ot something like that. Instead you implied that she was in the wrong, and yet again, you drove your point home. You were disrespectful to her and also the breeder (on more than one occasion), firstly calling her "dear." That does not soften the attack and is very sarcastic.
I know you wouldn't want to hurt anyone, but constantly calling people disreputable without knowing for sure that they are, really is hurtful. I don't want to hurt you either, but this thread has upset me from the beginning. My opinion isn't more valid than anyone else's, but perhaps if I'm feeling this way, there may be others who are also feeling such a lack of respect here. There may be many reasons why people leave Yorkietalk, and although this is only just one reason, I wish people could be kinder and treat others with more respect.
