YT 1000 Club Member | I don't agree with the breeding of undersized females, but can you automatically assume that this breeder is only interested in this person's lines with bad intentions? She already has a pup from Natalie. So although I would recommend researching the lines before purchasing a pup from those lines maybe she just wants a bit more info which she stated in her introduction. She just happened to mention she got her pup from Natalie because that is who she's had the most information on so far it seems. Can we just answer the ladies question please? If you disagree with some of her breeding practices why not just send her a pm? I know we all have different ways of approaching situations but at no time should a member new or old feel so uncomfortable that they don't want to post anymore. |

I meant no disrespect to the OP, in fact in my opinion I was anything but rude (honest and direct is not rude). OP I am sorry I cannot add anyting to your question on a specific bloodline, good luck with finding additional information.

I think your reply was exactly what you said it was: direct and honest without being rude. It was for those who the OP stated made her not want to post in the future. I would love for her to continue to post so she could learn from whatever mistakes she's making in her breeding program and correct them. |

| In general I agree with what you are saying below but I want to point out something that I think is important and why I personally made a comment as to her breeding. The way I read her OP: She is breeding the pup from Natalie ALREADY (from her own post). OP already advertises the Wee linage on her website. When people started telling her about Natalie's lines - she herself became rude - before anyone else said a thing about her breeding. I think when you are a breeder and you are asking about breeding lines - and you hear other information - you shouldn't shut the conversation down. I personally would want to know if a pup I was already breeding came from another breeder that had problems in their lines. I would NOT become angry and call them VILE when people were trying to point this out. OP asked a question. It naturally flowed to more info than she wanted. That's how threads flow. As far as my commenting on the size of her pups - I feel that if you are breeding and selling dogs, and are breeding a LINE that you don't know about, it becomes part of the discussion. Could people be gentler in their words? Perhaps, but she had already decided people were rude the minute she was told something different about Natalie than she wanted to hear - so who knows. Bottom line if I see someone breeding dams under 3 pounds and breeding a line they are asking about - why is that not up for discussion? It does tie into the original question in my opinion. Conversations rarely flow controlled like we want them to. I agree courtesy should always prevail. Quote:

| And I wanted to add one more thing about courtesy. The OP after only a few posts that I personally didn't read in any way as off topic or rude or attacking - called people VILE and something else - can't remember now because it was removed, so courtesy should flow in all directions.

| One more thing - this is from the OP's website for those of you interested in info on the line... (not sure if it is factual just reposting) Burgundy Wee Bloodline Origin http://www.yorkiesbycheri.com/burgundy-wee-bloodlineorigin The Wee Burgundy Line originated with Jan Lotze. She took the best, tiny Yorkies, with pretty, short muzzles and baby doll faces, square/cobby little bodies and produced wonderfully tiny Yorkies. She bred for this look and size for over 30 years. She has now retired from breeding Yorkies. Natalie Nelson, of Watertown, South Dakota continues the line and has finessed and improved it for another thirty years. Natalie originated her line with her tiny little male, Burgundy Wee The Cookieman (one pound four ounces) and Natalie's Little Katie. I got my fantastic little boy, Ziggy, from Natalie. His papa is a son of The Cookieman, and his namesake, Ziggy Boy De Bigafa is his great grandfather on his mothers pedigree side. He descends from a long line of American and Canadian Champions. My tiny little Ziggy, Cheri's Burgundy Wee Ziggy De Bigafa, weighs just under three pounds. He is the light of my life. Always busy, terribly precocious and an all around lover boy. I waited for 18 months for Ziggy to come into his Adulthood. He was 6 months

| Sorry more of you go to the actual link there are links to the liniage: YORKIES BY CHERI - Our Sire Cheri's Ziggy Boy Our Sire: Cheri's Burgundy Wee Ziggy De Bigafa http://d2bm3ljpacyxu8.cloudfront.net...m/DSCN0708.JPG Ziggy is AKC registered. He has a fantastic pedigree. He is out of Natalie's Wee Nina and Natalies' Lewis. He is from the Burgundy Wee Bloodline. Bred for their extremely tiny pedigree. His mother is from Argentina and has a tremendous Champion Pedigree. Ziggy came to us from Natalies Little Yorkies in South Dakota. I planned the addition of Ziggy to my breeding program for 2 years. I had to wait for 6 months to get him home. as he was so very small. He is now, at 18 months, almost 3 pounds. He is a precocious little minx with tons of personality. He has no idea he is a tiny boy. He stays head to head with my big dogs and he is the first to greet you at the door and the first to say good bye. Now that he is a proven stud, he thinks he is the only Rooster in the Hen House. Ziggy has fantastic conformation, beautiful dark, expressive eyes and tiny ears that stand straight up. He has a gorgeous silky coat of black and gold with blue hi-lites. He is a very unique little guy and a wonderful addition to my breeding program. He sleeps right beside me in his very own little crib.

| The numbers of yorkies I am seeing with genetic issues and the numbers I see in shelters in this state are just ridiculous. THIS kind of breeding is part of a huge problem. I have no time to answer her questions that I am sure she already knows; and be darned if I have to be polite to anyone who abuses yorkies. Breeding such tiny yorkies is abuse. Period. As for her learning...good luck with that. She knows full well what she is doing.

YT 1000 Club Member | Thank you for all who extend courtesy to those who are seeking information. Whether you're being blunt (I'm pretty blunt myself and had to learn to soften my words with the setting I was working in) or gently providing your advice. I've met many people with yorkies since I've moved and I always tell them about this forum, but I've also had people tell me their reluctant to post because of some of the responses they've seen on different threads from the same people. It's ridiculous! If I saw a mother come in the clinic holding a baby wrong and she asked me about parenting would I automatically say "There's no hope for you! Or I'll be damned if I help you!" He!! No! Even if I think the mother is a dingbat and should never have had children to begin with. I'll deal with her for the benefit of the child because at the end of it all that's who I'm trying to help and who will be benefiting from the education I've given the mother and hopefully she will use it. If she doesn't I can at least say I tried Some people on this forum have so much compassion for animals and I applaud it but some are also completely lacking in compassion for their fellow "man". |

| Hi Cheri, Welcome to Yorkie Talk. You will find this site full of useful information. I owned a yorkie out of the Wee Burgundy line, she did not live a long life due to genetic defects. Another breeder I know of, purchased one from this line and he passed away around the age of 1. It's sad when these tiny ones don't get to enjoy the long life they deserve. After some research, it seems that quite a few breeders who have purchased from this line end up NOT breeding their line because it's too unpredictable as to whether you'll actually end up with a healthy offspring. High vet bills and "replacing" puppies can be expensive and stressful. Others who do continue to sell them, have already lined their pockets enough that they can afford this kind of inconvenience, sadly. I do not know you but if you love yorkies enough to seek out a board for help, then please do a little more research before continuing your breeding practices. Sometimes, just loving an animal as a pet/companion is better choice.

I don't like your insinuations...because I don't care to see animals abused by people, I am lacking compassion for my "fellow man"? Your analogy just makes no sense to me .. a mother learning to care for her child and this breeder are in the same league? Fellow man? Nope..not my fellow man. Perhaps yours, but not mine. As for your comments regarding this forum, please try to keep in mind that everyone has an opinion and opinions can be and should be voiced. This is how we all learn.
