You assume a lot.
You understood from the quote above that I'm a novice pet owner and needed to read your recommended books cover to cover to answer this question. Could you tell me which chapter those would be in so I don't have to waste my time looking for the answer and reading the history, how to raise a puppy, care for a sick dog and train them?
I don't give a monkey's ars about showing or breeding. All I wanted to know was from your experience, you are the most experienced on the forum correct, about the odds of three pups being 14 oz at 2 weeks to end up being a standard size? And yes, it was asked in probably 3 different spots on the forum and I grew impatient being answered in many other directions, even adopt an adult rescue dog and no one with experience breeding pups that even know their blood line history could answer the question. And yes, you answered me quite rudely but I appreciate the information.
I was more frazzled after reading your previous comment than waiting for the answer. Thank you for the reassurance.
That was your way to " re-worded to change up the cadence a little" and answer someone that thought you were the only one on the forum that could possibly give an educated answer? Girl, you own it. Call it dry humor or whatever you want but I believe there could have been a kinder way of answering. I'm not in any competition with you. The board is all yours. Have a nice swim. |
You have in one post not only insulted and demoralized Yorkiemom1, but everyone on this entire forum, including everyone that has answered all of your redundant questions. "Someone that thought you were the only one in the forum that could give an educated answer"- your words, you own it! If she is the only one that you feel is qualified to answer your MANY questions you should have just pm'ed her instead of endlessly caring on and as Yorkiemom said OBSESSING over what the adult size of the puppy will be. Personally if your breeder is so brilliant why would you be second guessing everything he is telling you and WHY would he be allowing the pup to go home at 8 weeks? And IF you already know it ALL why were you going to bring the pup home at 8 weeks?? I don't have a dog in this hunt so to speak, but am more than aggravated at the insults to Yorkiemom and to the generalization of us "simple minded" people that have answered some of your questions, me being one of them.
The book she was referring to is an actual title, there are tons of books with different subject matter, that are "For Dummies" books. It is by far not an insult, but the very book she is speaking of is basically a Bible on Yorkshire Terriers, a very good reference for newbies to the most experienced owners. Seeing that you are not a novice but self proclaimed experienced I would have thought you would have known this.
I generally do not get on pi$$ing contest on here, however your treatment and insults to Yorkiemom is a slap in her face when you are the one that sought her out, if you didn't like what she had to say then keep moving. As far as lumping the rest of us simple minded folks to uneducated simpletons, I'll take it as there is a wealth of information on this site, whether you have the insight to see it or not! And "girl" you "own" insulting ALL the people here!
