talk
 

Good post..

:bravo: :bravo: Robbie.
Well said.
Maybe someone could start a new thread called Bitc* sessions. And the ones that wanted to could do their thing.

We can hope that the message is heard- this is well said- I am hoping we were only using Caps to indicate a difference not insult- but regardless- this is not beaver talk....start a new site - as pointed out they are a different breed- I am not saying I do not want to hear about then, as actually I do like to hear about all dogs, but the way things were going was wrong-

On a side note I took great offense to the "lay your cards on the table" mentality of several threads lately- and I am not a breeder--
Some things are none of our business and should stay that way- IMO. If we do not have a basic respect for others we have nothing- and lately that respect has been missing- again just my opinion....

Sure...In another forum. One which doesn't mind meaningless chatter. :thumbup:

LOL !! Are you tryin to tell us something Schatzie ? :D :D :D

This is a good thread.
I think people become passionate about what they believe and get carried away sometimes. Im no different. Many times Ive seen things said I just dont respond too, I used to get bent out of shape pretty easy or get my feelings hurt but I try not to now. Sometimes I see posts that bother me, not so much as for myself, but for someone elses feelings now. I think "How would that make me feel?" Before I post I really do try to "put on their shoes"
We all have different views on things and its okay. I think someones views alot of times come from experience. In example some breeders would never feel comfortable releasing any of their babies at 8 weeks but some ( not all) of mine I feel comfy with it so they go home and they have done very well. Its been a good experience for me and the owners but if it became a problem, I would adopt a new policy for the sake of the puppies and owners.
Ive seen threads where websites have been critiqued and I cringe, I think "Oh please I hope I dont see a thread about how horrible a breeder I am or how my dogs are unkept or or or " but you just cant make everyone happy and you can only do what you think is right. It comes from experience and if you have the right intentions , a good heart, and the willingness to learn then you are on the right track.
I was given some very good advice from some of the old timers on here quite some time ago (not meaning old I mean wise..ladies and gents!....lol) "do what you think is right, learn from experience, and dont be afraid to change policies if they dont work, and get a tougher hide"
For many months Ive had yorkietalk on my helpful links page and it will remain, although people will see threads in contradiction to what I may practice or think, its a great place to learn. Lots of very knowledgeable people here. Heck they may decide to go with another breeder from here instead of me......."would that be offensive to me?"........NOPE.........because people need to go with what feels good to them and stick to their belief systems.
Ive adopted alot of good advice from here into my young program and IM sure I will learn more and I am very grateful.
Forcing ones personal beliefs or practices on another doesnt seem to have much success. Gentle guidance or a well meaned suggestion has a much better success rate I think.

.........Oh and I would also like to add to my babbling book.....hahaha..



YORKIEROSE was one of my main suggestors at my very first visits at yorkietalk....always kind to me.....

Thank you Yorkierose !!!!! Your a classy lady.

It is funny you say that...it reminds me of when I first joined which was a little over a yr ago(I think) anyway my sister was at our house for a visit and I was on YT...anyway I was reading a post by Yorkierose and she said something to me...I replied that well Yorkierose said.......
ever since then she will say to me sometimes when we are discussing something- "well what would Yorkie rose say?"

Hope you don't mind pat but it has now become our little joke between her and I..:)

Sorry, I left out why I say that. My concern is that this new breed will ruin the Yorkie. I'm thinking long term and watching puppyfind.com.

Great thread!

I admit I have some questions, now that I've found YT and HAVE learned more about breeding and pups, that I won't ask because I know there will be that one post that will treat me as an idiot because I didn't know 'the answer' before I let my girl breed. I do think its sad when someone 'attacks' another for asking a question, however naive it might be.

I will continue to read & learn :)

That a girl Lissie!!! :) I see that hide getting thicker!

There are no idiot questions! Try to let some things slide and pick and chose what works for you.

Perhaps we should also recognize that everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and not take everything so totally personally. I for one don't know anyone well enough to have anything personal in mind.....

Not sure what you mean?

Sorry, it looks like I am responding to your comment. In fact, I jsut hate the way people are pouncing on everyone. Sorry if it looked like something else. :zip:

Ditto to PAT.. she is the greatest... :thumbup:
