Members With Mixed Breed Yorkies - Everyone Please Read
 

Just lately I've noticed a lot of new members saying they didn't know if it was okay to post because they have a mixed breed Yorkie. It's sad to think that the debate threads about mixed breeds, etc are putting new members off posting because they feel they will be shunned. :(

I'd like to say to those members please don't let threads like that put you off posting about your baby. Some members here get upset when people intentionally breed mixes and call them designer dogs, but that doesn't mean that anyone would ever be hateful or make mean comments about your dog. It's not the people that buy or rescue the mixed breeds, it's the ones breeding them just to make a quick penny. There are many mixed breed Yorkies on the forum and they are treated just the same as a purebred Yorkie. There are even "Honorary Yorkies" who have their own fans and couldn't be any less Yorkie if they tried, (Snoot the Peki and Rusty the Lab to name just two of them)... but we still enjoy seeing photos and hearing stories about them.

Every single member is a dog lover and will welcome you and dog with welcome arms. :D So, I ask you all to please come out of hiding and post an introduction to yourself and your baby.

Can't wait to meet you. :D

Me too;)

Come out, come out where ever you are.

Me three!
I've found YT to be a very very helpful forum and everyone is very nice and when someone is rude pretty much everyone is quick to call them out on it too. Lots of helpful members and lots of gorgeous dogs!

I agree! Post away!

Besides my Yorkies I have a mixed breed and he is my pride and joy. Even if he was all I had I would still want to be on YT as it is an awesome place.

I LOVE my Yorkies and Biewers but Rusty is awesome too!!!!:thumbup:
I also have a Papillion and she is beautiful.

All non-yorkie owners and mixed bred owners come out!

:goodpost::love-hug3 Well said Vicki!;)

I don't think that has anything to do with it at all.:rolleyes: If debates and differences of opinions bother anyone that much, then they really won't find themselves at home on ANY forum of any kind...lol.

I think it's more that they are unsure if this is a pure-bred Yorkies only forum. (Hence the name Yorkie-Talk.) So they ask. Seems like a legitimate question for a new member who probably has no idea what is and isn't allowed here.

In any case, I agree. All should post away! There are lots of people who come here who don't even have a dog at all or who are in the process of searching for one. The only requirement is that you LOVE these little pooches! :)

thanks!
 

Thank you for posting this. I was a little unsure about joining because I had seen the posts with strong opinions on breed specifics. Even though I have a combo breed (1/2 yorkie 1/2 maltese) I thought, heck, I want to know more about yorkies and everyone's personal recommendations based on experience. I'm not fond of conflict so I just stay clear of the controversial threads. I appreciate everyone's warm welcome.:thumbs up

Yes yes
 

We don't bite...LOL:D

I just want to add that I too LOVE all animals: Purebred or Designers :p (I mean mixes - hehehehehe)

Cuddles (the white doggie in my avatar) is a Yorkie/Maltese that was being rehomed, she is a very good girl and it all just happen to fall into place.

...however, I would not actually pay a breeder for a mixed dog, I just feel that there are too many dogs (mixed) in shelters, pounds, rescues, strays that are neglected and being PTS :(

Great thread Vickey!:thumbup: I read a post earlier where someone said they had joined but they were scared to post after reading a heated thread on mixing. For the record, while some argue about breeding mixes we ALL love ALL dogs including the mixes. So post away everyone and don't forget lots of pictures!:)

I love all dogs..... They are incredible . It is OK to post, and ask questions ! Suzi just happens to be my first dog ever on my own, and i have a lot to learn ! Post away, and do not feel intmidated !:thumbup:

Great thread. When I first came to YT.. I read a thread that was so heated... that it took me awhile before I felt comfortable posting. I spent a lot of time quietly reading threads and just sending cute graphics to the friends I had made on here. So, I understand. I love this site. I have 2 Morkies and 1 Yorkie. And I love them all dearly.

This site has great information, the people are wonderful, everyone is trying to help others. Yes there are some strong feelings here, but the one thing that everyone has in common is the love of dogs... all breeds.. and especially Yorkies. So, please, post away.

This is a really good thread and thanks. As I have said before I have a chihuahua and then I have my yorkie......and as all of you state he is just as important as her (even if he were a mix). Thanks for opening this thread.

Vicky, what a great thread - thank you for once again thinking about a very special group here at YT - our Newbies with Yorkie +(something else).

I agree that many are a bit timid about posting because of some of the threads about intentionally breeding the "designer dogs". So to all of you Newbies with Yorkie Mixes -- I want to get to know you better and to see pics of your furbutts.
