| I'm guilty of leaving them in their crate while I go watch groups or go eat at the show or shop some but mostly after I show I'm heading home with my dog. |

There are two kinds of people in the world IMO, those who love animals and those who don't. I've always felt the one's who don't are soul-less. Those who do should certainly appreciate the good and responsible...ethical people who keep their dogs, hamsters, birds, goldfish, ect thriving and available to them to own and love. I haven't read the thread that Deana is talking about but will try to check it out soon. Last edited by ButterflyYorkie; 04-05-2008 at 07:56 PM. | |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Don't worry - Be happy! Different people have different opinions about many things. It is important to remember we are all human beings and must share this world for the short time we have given. Let's try to love and not to hate. Let's try to build and not to destroy. The answer is LOVE. So Love and Respect. Last edited by staryorkie; 04-05-2008 at 09:38 PM. |

| I am not a breeder nor will I ever be but I am very thankful for the breeders out there that do the breed a great service! I just got my little "Paxton" three weeks ago from Glenda Beavers , Tsa La Gi Yorkies. It is funny right before the Oprah show aired I wrote Glenda a quick email and sent some new pictures of my new baby and thanked her for the beautiful Yorkies she has bred. I also told her that it would be a a huge loss for the Yorkshire Terrier when she decides to stop showing and breeding. If it were not for her I would not have such a gorgeous, healthy and prime example of the breed. I am truly blessed that she trusted her baby with me. All of your breeders on this forum who spend every waking moment trying to improve the breed I commend you! Those groups who are trying to make sure every pet in America is spayed or neutered are just not realistic and should try to use that energy on real issues. What about the million homeless people and what about all the abused children and the list goes on and on. If we as a nation cannot even feed every hungry person on a dailey basis do you really think this will happen? I doubt it....don't forget the part that the U.S.D.A. plays in our nations Puppy Mills....Thanks to our government who has yet to feed the hungry, house the homeless, save out battered children are they going to stop or rural states from breeding dogs when our shelters are overflowing with unwanted pets and furthermore enforce neutering and spaying? Did you know that According the Humane Society of America a HUGE number of Puppy Mills are now in Europe ...you guessed it in poor economic countries where people are just trying to put food on the table. The sad part is .....The United States of America has NO import laws...anyone can send a puppy to the United States and sell it. If you think the puppy mills are bad here.....think about the torture they are enduring elsewhere and then being shipped on a plane for 24 hours plus...sick, cold, injured or simply just too young to be taken from it's Mother. If we cannot as nation control this type of industry even on a state level then how in the world do you suppose spaying and neutering your pet will ever be enforced? I think I liked my life better before I knew all of this existed and realized how barbaric we really are ....ignorance was bliss!

| Sadly that is true but puppymill facilities have security and would be caught on camera I'm afraid so PETA goes and picks on us good guys and trusting folks and the pampered dogs instead |

I kind of feel the same way she does....not that ALL breeding should be stopped... but I do feel there are just too many people in it for the money these days. Which in the long run is bad for ALL dogs. Our dogs are the lucky ones. | |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | the inspectors it seems to me that the inspectors are being paid off. usda.. there should be an investigation of these people, and they should be replaced immediately by someone who cares about these poor animals. |
