Gonna Bow out of the Breeders Section
 

After reading several threads in this section and sitting on my fingers and not responding, I've decided I will not respond on this thread. I will be responding with showing and other topics but it makes me sick to see breeders coming on here and asking questions and doing things irresponsibly. I'm not talking about those of you that do this responsibly whether it be yorkies, parti's or biewers (although I don't agree with breeding Biewers or parti's but I know a few that are passionate and this is not about you guys :) )
There is one poster that I want to blast so badly LOL but I'm not going too because they will not take advice, they are going to do it their way and doesn't matter what anyone says. I see them posting and I just want to scream at them but I'm gonna take the mature way out and also the nice way out and just ignore this thread all together. As nice as some are with this person I wanna throw up LOL...
Anyway this makes me too frustrated and so those of you that want to ask me any questions feel free to PM me because I will not respond on the breeder's section for a long time to come ( if I can help it ).
Thanks to those of you that have been very kind and very appreicative and the wonderful support you have given me but I can't stand it any longer!
I will be on other threads to have fun. Showing is where my passion lies anyway!

Thanks,

I understand your decision, but just know that when there is one poster who completely disregards what you say to them, there are 10 more who are reading it and soaking it in. I personally do not breed, or have any desire to, but I read through the breeders section just to have knowledge, and I read and respect your posts 100%!

And Donna ~ There's always the ignore feature ;)

I don't blame you! There is one "breeder" on here who's dogs are so off standard it's not even funny. I can see it and I don't know the first thing about breeding! Nobody even bats an eye and Im about to pull my hair out! haha

Donna, I understand your frustration but by doing that you are letting them win. I think many of the questions that are asked are done so intentionally to cause controversy. Your input is valuable and everyone needs to see both sides of the story. By ignoring the whole Breeders thread you will hurt those breeders that are sincere about learning. You cannot possibly change everyones mind but you can have a great influence on many. Anyway, it is nice of you to be available for PMs. I think sometimes we all need to take a break. Some days there are just so many questions that it is hard to get to them all. Come back soon.

I totally agree with this, except I think that there are HUNDREDS that are soaking it in. I will miss your voice of reason, but totally understand.

Well, as I have said to frustrated breeders before...Come visit us in the health and diet section.:)

I am sorry to hear this also,for their is those who do need your info.Please do not let a few keep you from posting in this section.

Since I am not a breeder (and never will be) I rarely visit the breeders section and when I do it is to learn from those like yourself things that still may pertain to Lucy and anything you post I ALWAYS take the time to read. It's sad because I'm sure so many can benefit from your posts, but selfishly, I'm just happy you aren't leaving YT and I still get the benefit of you posting! See you in the other sections :)

:yeahthat:

Unfortunately EVERY time I visit the breeder section someone is posting that they're annoyed or won't come back for several reasons. I'm sorry to hear you won't be back to this particular section but you're advice is certainly welcome in our many other sections!

Most of the post in this section are heinous and it makes me glad not to be breeding but instead to be a snuggler of the bread...LOL..

I confess that I don't wonder why some people would go to the pet stores rather than purchase from any breeder. Just from browsing in the breeder section...one can hardly avoid the drama. Right or Wrong...some people are willing to go the easy route (pet stores)..so let's start making it easy to love love lovvvee this breed. I know there's good in everyone!!

We all need to try and continue to sit on our fingers if we do not agree as this is a public forum and many people will disagree. If you are unable to do so, try to be more constructive than criticizing.

Again, you're advice is much appreciated in all our forums and sometimes just walking away brings a little piece to one's heart and that's enough to justify the means. After browsing only 2 days in the breeder section...I totally understand why you'd not want to be in here! God Bless and Good Luck!!

I mostly sit on my hands in this section too...and this section is what kept me from becoming a member for a long time!

I totally understand your frustration. I tend to not post or answer many threads there either, I hate the irresponsibility I see there all too often. I know alot of responsible breeders have valuable knowledge to offer, but it seems that the same people continue to repeat things over and over and most of the time the OP ignores the great advice they so deperately were searching for. It's a shame that alot of responsible breeders choose not to post there!

I totally agree with this, except I think that there are THOUSANDS that are soaking it in. You're one of the main reasons I read the breeding forum.
