That's right, no one was born knowing all of this and I'll bet even the best of breeders asked a few seemingly stupid questioins and made some dumb mistakes.
I was always told there are no stupid questions, if you don't know then ask. Many of you posters told her she should search the net and read books to educate herself. That was good advice, but you did it after you belittled her.
Peanut, if you noticed, most of the ones that attacked her were relatively new themselves, and when I said I had been attacked, those that attacked me were also relatively new to the forum.
So to be fair, we also have to give them the same curtesy and not bash them for their mistake of attacking a newbie with a quiestion.
So to all of you, just to let you know, that was not a proper response.
Some breeders on this forum give the impression that they themselves are the only ones intelligent enough to know what a quality yorkie looks like and therefore the only ones that are fit to breed. If you don't believe that, go back and look at some of the threads on breeding and showing.
Some people believe that you should only breed if you show, others beleive that if you are breeding only for show then you are not a good yorkie owner, although you may be an excellent breeder.
Some believe that you should breed only for the standards as set forth by the YTCA. Others believe that if they have a blonde or chocolate or a parti and someone elses wants one, why not breed them as long as they do not carry any health defects like the blue yorkies do.
On this forum there are people at every end of the spectrum, we can try to educate others but we need to respect their beliefs also, and keep in mind that there is a slim possibility that their belief might be valid.
We all agree the unhealthy yorkies should not be bred, but not every yorkie with a genetic defect is unhealthy.
There is a whole lot greater demand for pet yorkies than there fis for show yorkies.
Sorry that got so long. I'm, a wtriter, that's what I do, I write.
