What do you consider "belittling" to the tinies' fans about my posts, Courtney?

Yes, I would say any dog under 10 pounds is tiny. But I am talking about purposely breeding for the itty bitties... It's not fair to the dogs.

Don't worry, after you've been on here for a few more years... You will understand. We have hundreds of new members that join and this teacup discussion comes up a LOT. It gets old, so that is why a few members are a little more harsh with their answers.

And that's understandable but unless they can be helpful with their answers and respectful why even post on the thread?! I'm the type of person that's ALWAYS has to know why. I don't know why that is my mom said I've been like that since I was little...that's obviously not something that's going to change and that's why I asked my question and started the thread. I didn't understand WHY a new member was being put through a whole investigation for wanting a smaller yorkie.

You wanted it for wrong reasons and that's why I didn't provide it.

I agree with diplomacy, but the smile thing?? Can you block the smiles?

Correct and I agree and again I NEVER said go to a breeder who purposely bred tinies and that's what people are missing!

I get it. This thread is about why can't there be a "teacup" (or whatever) club on YT when there is a much loved Teapot club on YT. Bc there isn't a "teacup" standard so what's the point? That teacup club was supposed to be for support for owners with smaller than average yorkies, and the special needs and requirements they face. Well isn't that just admitting that many of them have issues? And for the ones who don't, then the only difference with them is size. What does size have to do with it then if they are healthy? Nothing. So it's kind of redundant to have a healthy "teacup" yorkie club. The only point would be to declare you have a teacup.

No you didn't belittle anyone I'm speaking on terms of what I've read recently and in the past from others. Sorry, should've been more clear.

That also wasn't MY reasons for starting the thread. And again things may get confusing because before this I didn't even know that anything under 7lbs was standard I always thought it was 5-7lbs.

You might have a point but I could easily say you read my thread wrong and that I wasn't being sarcastic just like others said when I stated how I felt about chachi's posts.

A lot of new proposed laws will harm the reputable breeders who follow rules, and not really harm those who don't follow the rules in the first place.

making the representatives aware that people want a change it a step in the right direction. The only way they know people don't want these BYB's and puppy mills to exist is by calling them and discussing it. Or write an email. There's power in the number of concerned people when they tell the rep. about a certain subject.

If they limit the dogs, I would suggest no loop holes. I think a limit of 6 would be more than enough. In ohio we get people that have 20+ dogs, uncared for- and not just a few, but many. They're on the news sometimes once a week for a month. It's sad to see.
