So all the bad mouthing was not needed after all.
People need to know that not all people are stupid and dumb and some people know their business with dogs and pups, and cherish them to care the best they can and I am one of them. I guess if I wasn't I could have never been animal control for the city I live in and K-9.
So until you have walked in my shoes and know all about me, don't bad mouth me or anyone elses situation, as many do here. This is to be a fun place to talk and enjoy people don't let some here ruin it for you , I know I won't as I have already met many here that are wonderful.
I choose to be a Christian, and to live positive, and not negative and Gods favor is with me, I pray his favor and blessings are with all of you also.

The tone you've taken with this entire thread suggests that you have a whole different intent here.

I'm very glad your pups have beaten the statistics thus far.

I have absolutely no comment whatsoever to someone who chooses to defy odds & recommendations set forth for the good of the dog.

But, God Bless the dogs, and may angels watch over them.

Congrats on your pups, and I pray they don't have behavior issues while growing up because they were taken away from their mom so early. If you don't, not that you'll ever admit that here, then flippin' kudos to you.

By the way, our responses are for the sake of the pups, and have nothing to do with being "Christian". But if you vaule such morals, then maybe you shouldn't contradict yourself by being so rude yourself.
Good day.

Well said. :thum bup:

I'm tickled that your babies are healthy! As a christian myself I find that God's will for us is to keep the peace as he would. Although I understand your need to confront others over the comments they made ,that you thought was rude but, that's NOT godly! It's actually stirring the pot as the old saying goes Everyone here just gets defensive because you don't realize how much they love Yorkie's!! True christians keep silent and turn the other cheek and mind their own business. God knows their heart and their intent and that's all that matters in their lives! I think you meant well, honest; but this will only cause you more drama and pain because you didn't follow God's standards of handling problems!!

Only puppy mills are required to be checked by the state...small time breeders never get checked by the state unless someone reports them for animal abuse.

True she must be a USDA breeder

Hmmm interesting.

I didn't see the posts that you're talking about BUT----If someone was rude to you, I'm sorry. However, most of the time the very passionate Yorkie-Lovers here just want to educate on what's best for the dogs, and to warn of potential trouble. There have been MANY broken hearts here, due to not knowing what constitutes an ethical breeder. Pups have died being sent to their homes too early, and when they're tiny it's especially dangerous. Not to mention the behavioral issues that arise from puppies that are taken from their Mommies before she's had a chance to teach them their manners. So if you feel that you were "badmouthed", I'm sure that certainly wasn't the posters' intentions. Sometimes when we're hearing something we don't want to hear, we can interpret it as "badmouthing" or "bashing". And yes, sometimes tempers flare and things are not said very gently. We are all here to have fun and talk about our Yorkies, but we also all have a responsibility to advocate for these beautiful creatures who have no voice. Hopefully you'll understand that and maybe looking back, you'll see some of the "toughest" posts in a different light.

As for being Christian, that's neither here nor there. We have all different faiths here, but we all have one thing in common. We care for these innocent little puppies a lot, and each other. Religion has nothing to do with it.

To the OP, how exactly are you here to learn when you do nothing but argue with and offend the kind people that have been trying to help you on the site for years? You knew exactly what to expect when you came posting about bringing home tiny 8 week old puppies because you received similar responses when you posted about bringing home a 5 week old 2 years ago. As far as I can tell, your only purpose in posting on this site is to stir up trouble. Then you have the nerve to call people rude? I smell a troll.

Nice catch!!! I just watching from the sidelines lol

Just for a little information...

I raised Dachshunds for sixteen and half years.. I was Illinois state licensed and NOT a puppy mill. I kept anywhere between 8 and 12 adult breeding dogs through the years....I usually bred at least one litter per year and sometimes 2 or 3 litters.
In the state of Illinois any breeder with 5 breedable females MUST be state licensed and inspected. I did heath testing on my dogs and bred nice dogs with nice lines and bred acording to the breed standard (Dachshund Club of America) and altghough I didn't personally show my dogs, I had 3 close friends who we kind of worked together with our lines/dogs and they show. When I quit, I placed 4 of my dogs with a show friend, 2 into pet homes and kept one (spayed).
Anyway... I think there may be a mix up about the inspections/license.
Most all puppy mills are USDA licened because they have to carry that license to be able to broker their puppies.
As far as I know, not all states have a "state license" requirement. I just know Illinois does.
I just wanted clarify that not everyone who is state inspected is a puppy mill.
I know lots of very reputable breeders who do health testing, show their dogs and care very well for their dogs who are state licensed.
