:)I hope you'll stay around. YT can be a rewarding experience and very interesting, too. We have some really great members. People's comfort level on discussions vary and I hate it when we lose new members right off the bat. There IS a lot of really FUN stuff on this site if you're interested in "anything yorkie". I would love to see more photos of your beautiful yorkies. :animal-pa

Thank you Oceansoracle for your comment! All that truly should matter is that a dog (or 3 in my case) are being given all the love and attention that they need and want! In my case my dogs have a bed in every single room of my house, have more clothing than most children and are my pride and joy! Whether they are AKC, CKC or any other C registered does not matter to me! I love them and a year ago buried my 17 year old cocker spaniel (before I got Lou) who I had loved since she was 7 weeks old. My dogs are here for their lifetime to be loved, spoiled and cherished. Just because you are a "experienced breeder" doesn't give you the right to force your "ethical opinion" on anyone else. This is not a safety issue for my dogs and frankly until you are asked an opinion should be kept to yourself. Thank you again oceansoracle for proving the right kind of people (i.e. Yorkie lovers who love other yorkie lovers) are on this site and not a bunch of know it all yorkie snobs! Don't get me wrong I want the best for my babies as well but I wasn't asking in this thread for anyone's personal opinion about my breeder. I have never in my life experienced what I have today and I think that is quite sad really. This should be a place of comraderie, encouragement and friendship and maybe it is and I just got the wrong people commenting out of the gate today. Hope to meet more people like oceansoracle!

Wow, I hope you feel better!? No one is being judgemental at all, nor snobby. I have all the right in the world to hold the standard of the Yorkshire high on a pedestal, and no one is going to change my opinion on the ethics of quality breeding!

We're actually neighbors. Is your breeder local? I like discussing fun stuff and could talk about my biewers all day long...

I agree to.

well said.

Thanks MI Yorkielover! Appreciate that so much! Looking forward to talking with you again!!

You should read post #49 and try to understand other members who love the Yorkshire Terrier BREED and have been on here for a long time better :) They welcome members with mixed Yorkies with love too, but they do not care for breeders who are unethical and careless with the false information they give their buyers.

again, welcome!!:)

when i first came here, i was also a little surprised at some comments made, but don't let that stop you from learning from the WEALTH of information that is here ... you may not appreciate the manner in which some posters state their opinions, but if you focus more on the information they are giving, you will find this to be an unbelievably great resource.

some folks just talk about the joys of having their babies, other folks get super-duper technical (and they are super-duper knowledgeable), but you can't let that get your panties all in a bunch!!! it can sometimes be difficult to remain non-defensive when you feel you are being attacked, but please remember that, at the end of the day, we are all posting b/c we are yorkie lovers!!!

so accept the info you want, receive the welcome that is being extended and ignore the rest....

Do you have an email address for the breeder who sold you the white yorkie?

Jackson 25 you have a right to your opinion and me to mine. Go insult people on another thread! No one was asking you for your opinion and last time I checked there wasn't a President of Yorkie protection! There are no dogs in danger here and if you knew me and my breeder you would know you are preaching to the flipping choir on upholding yorkie standards. I seriously have no clue how after being so excited about finding a community of people who love their dogs the way I love mine I have ended up attacked over a techincality...maybe you should start a group for people who want stern advice and opinions and the rest of us can just enjoy sharing yorkie stories and having fun! I definitely know who to contact if I feel like I need technical advice!

Hi there ,
I think your new white puppy is adorable. Congradulations for having such 3 beautiful babies. I love all yorkies , no matter mixed or not, they are fun, energetic , and so smart.
Their are highly inteligent people on this board too, very educated and are all about to better the breed of the yorkie.
Sorry if u felt attacked , but facts are facts. REgardless , you really have nice looking newborns. ;)

For the last time my breeder didn't do anything unethical (the state law is that yorkies cannot be released before 8 weeks) and I wasn't and never have been given anything but the best and most honest info...NEVER false info. I was with her for several days before she released Louis to me. This is just ridiculous.

:eek: Goodness with the name calling! This site is to inform people of what is the good and the bad. So if you post about an unethical breeder on here she will be called out.

I'm sorry, I really am if my personal posts bothered you in any way. I was curious so I asked. I'm semi-new (member for years but not as knowledgeable as others) and definitely new to the joys of all things yorkie since I have had my boy for less than a year. I guess I should learn to curb my curiosity when I see something new and unfamiliar. I hope you stay and look at the picture/video forums, nothing but fun stuff there. Oh, and the GE. (gift exchange) I haven't participated but others really love that!
