| I have read both sides and I am sorry this happened to all involved. I guess if looking for a future stud I would have not bought a pup that had been a " mistake " line breeding in the first place. Did a vet ( mabey a second vet opinion too ) ever say for a fact that these seizures were being caused by a genetic or medical problem or was it still in question what caused the seizures? If it was in fact a genetic or medical problem I feel the buyer should have been refunded the money and the pup returned ( or kept if the seller said ok) Bad things can happen when breeding dogs, but I think it's how the breeder handles the problems that makes or breaks a breeders reputation. Sorry, I don't mean to stir things up again. |

Just like this thread. How many of you that have posted have had any personal dealings with this breeder? if you haven't, then why are you posting? like myself. i shouldn't even be posting but it got off topic and became about all the arguing so i, like many of you, jumped right in. bad me!!!!!!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I don't look at it as 'bad you' for going off topic & we all post to things we don't necessarily have personal dealings with - but that applies to practically the whole site not just Breeder Reviews - I realize you're a breeder & this is more sensitive for you - but lately it's really getting rigid with the many rule changes. I just don't see the point of one person posting and threads getting locked automatically. I guess I look at YT as a free site where all can post...the more locked threads and rules I see - the less attractive it is to me (personally)...besides we sometimes get different perspectives when ALL are allowed to post. |

V -I feel that the Breeder/Groomer review section as well as others forums are and should be used as educational. Locking a thread after each post would circumvent what this forum was a originally set up to do. A meeting place for people with a common interest to share and learn from each other. I'm a breeder that doesn't advertise on this forum or anywhere else. But that doesn't mean I won't end up on the breeder review section one day. I'd prefer it to be a good one, but if I can't take the heat, I'd better get out of the fire. Cause I for one know you can please the people part of the time, but you can't please them all of the time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to review your breeder, groomer or vet. Please note, only post your PERSONAL experience with the breeder, groomer, or veterinarian. This is not a place for heresay or second-hand information. List positives and any negatives, and please let us know when you interacted with them. This forum is also only for Yorkie-related experiences with breeders, groomers, and vets. In your thread title, make sure you put in the name of your breeder, groomer, or vet, as well as the city and state (or city and country for non-USA cities). If there is a company name, you can include that as well. I copied and pasted this from the rules for posting to this forum. maybe locking threads is a bad thing but i don't see any other way to see that the forum is used the right way and according to the rules. mardelin, I wholeheartedly agree with you about pleasing people. I have been very fortunate so far to have satisfied buyers. But all it takes is one unhappy person. | |

If we start locking the threads, then lets do one better remove the whole section.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Don't mind me Sugarsmom - I wasn't trying to debate with you - After being here so long I just keep seeing 'Rules Rules Rules' and the site used to be about people sharing info - meaning posting to and replying to threads no matter what the topic was - now we can't even hardly say a thank you in some sections due to some people complaining its a 'bump' or whatever - Simonandhallie does a great job moderating here I think and there really aren't that many threads that get out of hand considering how big the site is. ...I guess I miss the old way it used to be. |

As Mardelin said, no one is perfect, but, being honest and confronting a problem if there is one, there should be nothing to be afraid of. People can give opposite opinions, but not if the threads are closed after each post. Freedom of speech...my son spent 4 years fighting for this right. It's something we should cherish. Not all people are so lucky.

| Let me add, before anyone gets their feelings hurt or their tail feathers ruffled, I was speaking in general. Not directed at any particular people but to all.

| i was fixin to get my tail feathers ruffled. LOL i feel as mardelin or some said, there will always be an unhappy person and all we can do as breeders is try to do the right things, try to fix any problem that comes up and above all, be honest Last edited by Sugar's Mom; 07-23-2007 at 02:40 PM. |

I actually saw a thread a few minutes ago, the subject of which has been a very hot topic in the past. I read it, saw different opinions were allowed to be voiced, learned something I never knew before, and was really impressed with the fact that no one had gotten irritated or defensive or insulting or called for it to be closed. And did I mention that I (and others) learned something? Last edited by BamaFan121s; 07-24-2007 at 02:59 PM. | |
