I know, I know, bad me. I was desperate. She was REALLY low and I couldn't wait for an order. Last time I went to Target and bought a couple containers of Beneful!!!! I felt like the worse mommy! I hadn't been to this store in years! When I checked out they were going to give me a frequent buyer card. I declined!

I think you are misunderstanding. Just like on many forums, it's how people "say" things to others that gets under my skin. For example, I need to be yelled at for going into that pet store to buy food. But, I was desperate for premium food. I need a spanking.

I don't think you were yelled at for that but now if someone who just thought buying the puppies supported the pup mills now they know anything in a store that sells puppy's supports them. I don't have many stores that sell premium food in my town actually only one but it sold puppies so I traveled the hour and a half to go to a different store that had the premium foods but no pups. Eventually the store hear that sold the pups closed down and I felt like I helped to do that

That's what I don't get! People drop money on getting a dog, yet do little to no research.

I especially love the "does my dog look like a yorkie" threads. You bought a yorkie, but you don't know what yorkies are supposed to look like???

I was one of those idiots that did my research backwards. I bought Baby at a pet store. Didn't know what a puppy mill was and never owned a dog. It was then that I said, "I can't just have this cute puppy and not know all about her." It was then I found YT. I'm not ashamed of my decision and telling my story. Then I was ignorant. Now I am full of knowledge. Some useless, but that's ok! I even express her anal glands! LMAO

I can imagine! If I drove that far I'd be buying her Coach and Juicy! Hehe

The questionable threads should be flagged by a code word/phrase... Any ideas?

I liked a lot of what I read, I like the non-info as much as the true info. I decided, I'm ready to join and I am glad that I did. Now, I can imagine, hundreds of other members have the exact same story I just listed and I know just from people's general curiosity, they will shop before buying so to speak. They too will come here, read and look around before creating a profile.

So what is the deal with all of the op's and their seemingly naive but truly offensive posts? You know the ones; I am going to buy from a pet store, I just bought from a pet store, I want my 3lb 1 yr old female to have puppies so I can be a grandma , I want a teacup teddy bear, micro yorkie how much will it cost to have her shipped from FL to OR and by the way she is only 8 weeks old? Because of all the shady people that have been banned and most certainly have nothing better to do with their time, I am truly convinced that these "ops" are in fact those wierdos posing as newbies posting such blatant stupidity in an attempt to aggrevate those people that would debate them in the past, that is before they were given the boot. And unfortunately, it works

Excuse the very direct language, however it is absolutely blatantly stupid to have read what this forum is about and stands for and post such controversial questions/comments anyway. I give the general public much more credit than this, this is why I believe they are hoaxes. I will go through and scan as many past threads relating to puppymills, breeding ethics, animal welfare, and rather than engage these op's, just welcome them and post a link for them. Let them do some of the work, trust me, you guys have done an awesome job, all the information is here.

I wrote this after having posted in a thread titled "teddy bear yorkie" or something like that, I stooped, poked fun, and don't like to behave that way. Thanks for reading.

Not all are hoaxes, unfortunately.
Some are very real.
Sometimes yes, there are some people who use online forums to provoke others or upset others for whatever dysfunctional reasoning they have.
Personally it sounds like a personal problem to me, they should go deal with themselves...

The other issues..well...
Everyone has differences of opinions.
It's when people try to moderate the comments of others responding to the OP that there becomes issues IMHO.
It would be nice and I will start to do so-to just answer the OP and leave the rest.
