Yorkshires4Me | 05-12-2009 04:15 AM | Almost Speechless......wow I recieved a phone call yesterday from a friend who was horrified and very upset bys the post here. I remembered words that my Mother had spoken to me - Angry words oh let them never from my tongue unbridled slip. I of course wasn't a member of this board until then - I had no clue it even existed.
Here's what I do know:
Slander is a type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio or on TV -- it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience. Gee, the internet is a very wide audience isn't it?
Amanda350 I have read your thread and must tell you your defamatory remarks are without merit. I have purchased 2 yorkies from Birdhouse Ranch over the years and my guys are the BEST. Not only did I end up with the Yorkies of my dreams but cultivated a friendship that has been informational, helpful, and very rewarding. I learned more from Birdhouse Ranch's experience with Yorkies that I ever would have on my own. I love this breed and chose it for my own. I wouldn't ever promote a breeder that was detrimental to any breed. I have visited with her on many occasions and even taken my boys back to their roots for visits. There are no cages or kennels there. Her Yorkies are treated like family members and vet cared for. I learned from Birdhouse Ranch yesterday that Amanda350 actually met her at the vet's office. WOW!
The negativity you have expressed is not what I have witnessed or know to be the truth.
You all want proof that she's a good breeder? Here I am! A satisfied customer through and through. When I started looking for a Yorkie I visited many people before falling in love with my guys. I may only have one post here and may have only joined this site today but that doesn't make my post a lie. It is in fact the truth. I have seen Birdhouse Ranch's AKC inspection papers, dogs, and even met her family members. I did my homework before deciding to purchase my first yorkie. Like many of you, I too am careful.
megansmomma you are so right- there are always 2 sides to the story and I'm glad to have the oppourtunity to post here. Your community should welcome new members. I hope all of your community members will remember their manners and the RULES of this site. They have certainly been broken several times in this thread. I understand the draw to this site. It can be very informative to those who have and those who have not. Don't have the wool pulled over your eyes on this one - There isn't any truth to the lies spread here. My guys are just perfect! |
