well here is what I do. I look at all the opinions and advice. Any advice I want to use I will, any I dont want to use, to me can be thrown in the garbage as I want anyone to do to mine altho I dont give advice usually because I'm new to yorkies myself. Sometimes I do tell what I've tried to see if it worked but if you notice I dont advise anyone else to do it. Besides, to me I am my own person, I make my own decisions no matter what advice is given as most everyone else does. But I rarely if ever have ask for anyones advice on Kizzys health issues as that is what I pay a vet for. He is the doctor, nobody on here is a doctor that I've heard of so far, but correct me if I'm wrong. If I had a serious problem, I might tell about it after its over and tell the results. But first and foremost my vet will tell me what to do in any illnesses concerning Kizzy. But i've learned a lot of things people believe in on here. Some I agree with , some I don't. But to me, my decisions about what I do or dont do or buy or dont buy are mine to make and I am the one who makes them. I have ask questions about size, color, coats and maybe talked about potty training, but I dont recall asking for anyones advice on what to do about potty training her and I wont. I have done pretty good with her on my own and I feel that any normal human being that has a puppy and has ever had one or not should have a vet to ask health questions about their pet or if its a big health issue, take it to your vet and not people on a forum. Some advice is helpful and some I just take with a grain of salt, but in the end, I'll always do what I think is best for my puppy. I always wanted a small little lap dog and now I have one even tho she has grown a bit bigger than what i thought i was getting and I have ask questions about sizes here. But I will tell you this. People on here will give their honest opinions I think whether you agree or not. If you dont want opinions, then dont ask. So I dont ask any personal health opinions because I dont want peoples opinions from here on that. I only want a certified Vet. As I would do with my own health, I wouldnt consult a forum on the computer if I thought I had a health issue I didnt understand or know what to do about. I would consult my doctor, tho I might discuss it with a personal friend or family member, it would be someone I know personally but in the end even then it wouldnt be for their opinions. Opinions are like AH's. Everybody has one. So if people dont want to hear bad opinions or ones that says what they dont want to hear, then dont post it here. and Yep, I'm one of those that wanted a 3 or 4 lb little dog and still would love to have one but to me, that is my business what I buy. Its my money and nobody on this forum is gonna buy it for me. If I want to buy a puppy from a backyard breeder I also will do that as I know for a fact that some people that raise some puppies do look out for their health altho I know some dont. I would just have to see the environment they are in. I would never, no way, no how ever buy a puppy thru the internet. I want to see exactly what i'm getting (in person) before I buy it, not a picture of it.
So I'll close my fingers now and if anyone wants to criticize what I think, then so be it.
