I read the early administration post of how we should all be courteous and agree, but feel a little conflict in this situation and would like to know how you feel.

Someone posts a Yorkie for sale, it has way too much white on it or other defect that makes me think it isn't a purebred; or the puppy is 2 pounds at 8 weeks and they say it won't get over 4 pounds; or they are charging $2,000 for a dog registered with a registry that anyone, purebred or not, can register with; or the dog is inbred and the breeder is claiming there's no problem with that; or the dog has CDA; etc.

How do you find a line of compromise - you want to warn the people who don't know as much about Yorkies, but you don't want to be rude either. Some of the yorkies for sale posters only post to sell and don't add anything to this forum.
