| Breeder Talk Hi everyone... Just have to say this..I've been a member of yt since the early summer. I always enjoy the breeder talk forum. Atleast I did. I'm going to just come out and say it because I'm a really straight forward kinda gal.... I don't want to discuss one breed vs. the other. I don't want to make everyone feel obligated to "lay it out on the table" concerning "breeder facts". I don't want to have our threads constanlty turn into a debate. Because of my nature, I do tend to voice my opinion at times. However, what I do want is for Breeder talk to be about just that. I want to discuss our experiences as breeders. I want to help anyone with a question that I may be able to answer concerning their litter or upcoming litter. I want to share my experiences and the experiences of others. I think this section of the forum is loosing something. Thanks. |

| I think you're right, Robbie. Whenever I even peek in on a thread in this forum I cringe. LOL. That's not the way it should be!

This isn't anything about when the yorkie became it's own BREED. This is about a place to talk about whelping, breeding, studs, bitches, techniques, feeding, our fears, our experiences, and our advice to others who are expecting babies or planning to breed. | |

| I agree !!! I have to agree with you so much here Robbie thank you for bringing this up... Sorry I have been trying to educate so I am very guilty here... But as a breeder I feel this is my duty to educate... too. But yes it has gotten out of hand... What is it next--- I have a TRUE Yorkie !!! It has to stop !!!! It is offensive to say the least. When using caps we are yelling. Maybe put this under off the topic or something like that... Breeder page is actually what you state it should be... JMO

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Robbie....You said it perfectly....I'm not a breeder but love reading this section I've learned SO much about Breeding here....but lately it's turned more into a Pis**ng Contest than Breeders "Talking". I can honestly say.... I don't think I learned one thing these last few days except to say that the Breeding world is VERY small... and VERY political. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I wanted to add I hope I didn't offend anyone - I just hate to see anyone with hurt feelings ... you all have so much to offer & it's just been sounding like a "My dog is better than your dog" Section lately.... If we did this with yorkies we'd have lots of upset people. |

| I would like to add (after the fact that this is PERFECTLY said by Yorkiemom) that the breeder section is a very important section within YT. It is highly helpful to many. I would hate to see many not want to be part of this section due to elevated debates and negativity. It is important for breeders to have an area to share their experiences, help, etc with other breeders and those wanting to become breeders. We must remember that behind these breeders are our beautiful little fur babies.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Robbie, I completely agree with you. This shouldn't turn into a "who's better" or "who does what" debate. I know that I have avoided other questions and threads because how I felt was that it was no one's business but is between me and a potential buyer. I shouldn't have another breeder or non-breeder ask questions wanting me to "lay my cards" on the table. And for whatever reason, when I avoided certain threads, they would magically be bumped anytime I was on line. I felt that this was childish but I played along. Also, I've not ever advertised with the for sale format. If I have puppies and someone is interested, they've contacted me. Then, any issues are discussed with the potential buyer either through pm-s or by e-mail or even phone. What I sell is no one's business so they have no right to question. JMO However, if someone has questions in the breeder's section about their own bitches, I'm more than happy to oblige...even if it goes so far as to giving out my phone number, which I have done and have talked people through.

I dearly love YT, you guys have so much knowledge. My goal is to have excellent breeding stock that conform to the breed standard. The health of my babies are very important. I certainly don't want to carry any genetic health problems down line.

| I think all in all it has been a informative thread, I have enjoyed reading MOST of it. And to those who are interested in breeding the Biewer or breeders of the Biewer I am sure it was VERY interesting. However the pettiness has gotten to be a bit much. Debate is fine if done while being respectful of others opinions be they right or wrong. Being insulting and petty does nothing for credibility. I would hate to see breeding threads getting closed because of that. JMHO |
