Courtney,I understand you too,but when are we not treating a dog right by their standards? This is one of the comments that bothers me

Show breeders try and stick to the standards,infact they try and get as acurate as possible,but not all of us expect or even want show pups

Iv seen yorkies that dont meet the standard and they are just as cute as the rest..I just dont understand why a yorkie has to meet the standard EXACTLY for breeders to think its ok for us to breed them.
Also,you said that some people come online to ask questions that they should already know..well all I can say is "better late than never"

At least they are asking,does it matter how long it has taken them to ask? Maybe they have been wanting to ask for a while but have seen the reactions to posts on breeding and just couldent find the courage to do so

This is what im getting at.If people knew that they were going to be helped and not judged,maybe they would ask before hand and not right in the middle of their dogs pregnancy.Subjects on breeding are VERY important,especially to those who have made the decision to do it,so when they find that they are not only being judged for breeding,but also for NOT asking certain questions earlier,then of course they will leave because they will feel as if no matter what they say,it will be wrong..if they ask,they are being iresponsable,and if they dont,the same.They wont leave because they arent ready,they will leave because the forum is not helping them at all
