				 |    Not a breeder, just a sincere Yorkie lover. I feel a little guilty sending private messages to some of you that replied to post, because I now see your side. I for one will really limit my question, as I respect your time.  May have misunderstood how to respectfully ask general Yorkie advice from knowledge YT members.  Thank you for the advice you did kindly offer.  Please don't let some of us new members run you off.  I too will back off!!!!!!!!!  |

				 |    This thread makes me very sad.  I know by the names that the very members who are frustrated are the ones that I have learned so much from.  I am not a breeder, but some day I hope to purchase another Yorkie.  From your knowledge I have garnered information for that time.  Thank you so much.  There are those in every part of life that ask for advice and get angry when it is given---friends, family, co-workers, bosses, acquaintances.  Please keep your chins up.  I know that every day there are new members who can learn from you.  Maybe not breeders but "everyday folk" like me.

   I ask the breeders questions sometimes. I think anyone who is sincere and not trying to stir things up should use the search function at the top of the screen first to see if their question has been answered already. If you aren't finding the answer you need, ask away.

				 |    UGH...I hate lying, greedy breeders          Anyway, I feel like it's worth it to keep educating...if even ONE person learns from it, then it's all worth it

				 |    I just want to thank all of you for answering many of the questions that I had when I was breeding my Tinkerbell. I had done tons of research, but nothing comes close to the information that I recieved from YT. I am sure that I was annoying at one time to because I wanted to make sure that I was going to do everything in my power to have my Tinkerbell have a safe and as easy a delievery that she could have. I have learned so much from my personal experiances and from all of you. I can not thank you all enough. I am sure that there are plenty of people out there that are just like me and ask the same questions over and over and over again. I know that it get annoying, but all of you guys are helping everyone so much you don't even know it. If they don't want to take your advise then that is up to them. At least you gave them the information that they needed to make a educated dicision. Thank you so much for that. You all are like family to me.

				 |    I would just like to thank all of you for all of your great advice.  I have learned so much from you all.   I know you don't hear enough about how much you have helped educate people but even when you don't realize it there are plenty of us out there silently reading and learning and truly thankful for your knowledge and experiences. I understand how frustrating it can be with those who ask a questions but god forbid you answer truthfully: **Dont you see, just tell me what I want to hear--why else would I come looking on a public forum for help???** but please although i understand you needing a breather please know you a needed back asap!!!!!   |

				 |    I love the breeder section. I have learned sooooooooo much here. It has made me think about all different aspects of breeding. I now no things that I don't think I would ever have gotten out of a book, or googling. IT has been a wealth of information to me. You no that some local people ask me questions on breeding now, and am so proud of myself to be able to answer questions, thanks to YT. It is great to think that you are able to help someone , who needs it. I here what you are saying Lisa, but I know that we can almost tell right away, who is really interested in the breed and who is really out to make $$$$. But maybe you could just shy away from these threads. No point getting worked up about it. Just don't answer then.LOL. But then I have seen some people come on here, with the idea of making $$$, and then some members here changing their minds. So sometimes it is good to answer. People have to learn, and if we can put them on the right path. Well isnt that just so rewarding.

 Welcome to the world of being from Kentucky. I understand exactly what you mean by people looking down on you. They do me too. I also wanted to tell you that i only live a few minutes away from you and am willing to help you better yourself all I can. The county you live in is so full of bad breeders putting out horrible and sick ddogs , it isn't funny. One is even a vet in your town and the dogs are AWFUL. Please privately contact me if you need any help at all. If you are sincere, there are many of us that will try to help you. | |

 Well, you just learn wwhere the puppymills are and what the zipcode is. Sure not all people in that zipcode are bad but you know to be very careful when dealing with breeders in that area. When I am looking to buy or just inquire about puppies, I first find out all I can about the breeders in the area. | |

				 |    I think I can relate to what you are all saying even though I am not a breeder. I have a girl I work with who all the time asks me how I think she should handle a certain situation, then when I tell her what I think she immediately goes and asks someone else as if my answer wasn't good enough or the right one. Sometimes, I think she just doesn't want to go to the trouble of extra work because I'm one of those people who really likes to dot all the "I's" and cross all the "T's". That's essentially what happens a lot of times here... someone asks what you think and then when they get your honest opinion, they argue with it or discount it in someway. I guess, whenever you deal with other people no matter the subject, that is sometimes what we get. But just because they discount your opinion, doesn't mean you aren't right. I wouldn't argue, everyone is allowed their opinion and I wouldn't get all upset because truthfully, they aren't worth it if that is how they are. But please don't stop educating all of us who really do pay attention to what you say and really do learn from you. You might not know it because we just read the threads and try to absorb all the knowledge and don't really feel like we have anything worthwile to share but you have made a difference, that I can promise.  |
