Are Breeders Really Welcome here on YT?

[AngieDoogles]

I can't seem to find the thread you are referring to. Has it been taken down?

I think that simonandhallie is one of the nicest people on here. Whatever her opinion is on breeding, I can't imagine she would not want you on here!

I get a little disheartened sometimes because it seems like there are so many unethical breeders out there, but then I'm reminded that there are some really great ones too...ones that truly keep our wonderful breed in existence

Sorry, I had to delete what i wrote.

Well, she is the first person that asked me to reconsider when I pm'd her telling her I was thinking of leaving and WHY. It was because mainly of how the breeders are treated on here by one or two people. over and over again.

Exactly how I feel!

I don't think Kimberly would want anyone to leave, she has her beliefs just like the rest of us, she told us how she feels and that was it, at least she didn't continue trying to pound it in our heads.

check the peta thread in general discussion.

Moderators are human too, believe it or not and are subject to making typographical errors and wording posts in a way that might be misunderstood. I hope that the op took the time to contact Kim(Simonandhallie) to clarify her position prior to starting this thread. If it is in fact her position that breeding should stop, well, she is entitled to her own personal opinion. I can tell you from several years experience here at YT and much personal contact with Kim, that she is a fair and honest person and puts her personal opinions aside while she is wearing her moderator's hat.

She stated her position clearly on the post in General Discussion. Of course she's a person who has her own personal opinion. When you have Moderator under your name, you do represent Yorkie Talk in many many peoples eyes. That should be considered when a mod posts.

I think all of us have been a bit touchie lately as we all have strong opinions, I felt uncomfortable as a breeder/exhibitor when I read her post, I actually had intended to leave the group but I realized that would accomplish nothing other than to be narrow minded myself. So I told my self to Sit, Stay LOL
I can see that she has her opinion as I have mine, I just strongly feel as a pet owner that is an awfully hard thing for one to say but I have been up to my eyeballs reading all the legislation etc so I am hummm a bit stressed. And I felt also that if a mod post that is the general consensus of the admin. but admin posted here so we can move on.

I understand your frustration and agree 100%. Looking back at my post and how I worded it, it could be misunderstood. But I was trying to say that anyone with Moderator under their name should post with this is mind-- in many peoples eyes they represent YorkieTalk, whether they want to or not.
lol Sit and stay and we're moving on

What's a Moderator???

[BLEU BOY BARBER]

Surprise here is our 2 cents for what it is worth.....

When attending the Ft Worth show we were told we could not take our babies in the show (HOWEVER WE GOT IN )

I would have left the show for the day before I would have ever left my 2 babies unattended..

Donna I am with you I watch people alot ...I love to see body language ect.... I even remember asking you about peoples dogs being stolen.

It is so sad like you say that they would pick on the show pampered dogs verses the PUPPY MILLS... I would hate for any dog to be stolen by far but this is just my 2 cents if you all want a cup of coffee...

BACK TO MY CORNER WITH MY CHOCOLATE TO BE A GOOD GIRL HA!

Someone that monitors posts/threads to make sure they follow YT rules.

Someone that has his or her own life yet manages to volunteer their time to help keep YT running smoothly.

Someone that is able to post their opinion just as everyone else is as long as it is within YT Rules.

Someone that I admire for their dedication, quick wit, love of their babies, their courage, kindness to others, and the list goes on but I will end with their sense of humor.

That is my opinion of what a moderator is.
