Aren't you overblowing what happened here a bit? I didn't read every single post but did read most and Golly Moses, what was so all-fired terrible about this thread? It's just a thread online and opinions and comments got terse and elbows got sharp, maybe even some unfair things are said, but it's not like anyone's life was threatened or reputations ruined or people driven to despair. Debate happens online and lose focus as they go along, things are said in the heat of the moment, but overall an exchange of information usually happens and we all add to our knowledge base or adjust our thinking a little bit one way or another. Long debates and heated discussions happen this way in real life, too. Sometimes we just have to move on if people's thoughts or opinions displease us in the course of a long, frank conversation.

She warned about using them in a mean snarky way, not in teasing, which I knew she was doing, and you knew she was doing...I hope.

For some reason the quotes are messing up but No I saw it as making light of it both you and lovepandp,

LOL, No... lovepandp was making fun of me. And I knew she was. I used 2 icons at 2 am this morning as a response to the alligator skin picture ironmike linked. No one else was making light of anyone. Are my quotes messed up? I just woke, so it could be me.

Believe me, I'm not saying breeders should start breeding for "teacups". I'm just saying it's not uncommon for the average person to see a smaller pup and think "teacup". I know the millers and BYBs have destroyed that name so 9/10 it probably will forever be destroyed. And relevant or not I am curious as to what yorkies under 4lbs were referred to before they changed the standard. Because according to the AKC website "standard" was 4-7lbs. Someone, not knowing about that the YTCA sets the rules, could easily see that and think oh my puppy is under 4lbs that must mean they are a teacup. So idk maybe AKC needs to change their site then because in my opinion that is showing that smaller yorkies don't fit into the standard.

it is different to anyone who has a knowledge of YORKIES. The word means something else to other breeds. I also think sometimes the word TOY (which is a legit classification and yorkies are a toy breed) gets mixed up in the word teacup (when used in speaking of yorkies is not a legit classification and implies bad breeding)

I don't get upset when people use the word teacup if they are new to learning about yorkies. Most will not use that term after they do their research. I really don't understand why the fact that it is an offensive term to most of us just be accepted.

The is the sad part... many people who are getting their first yorkie are sucked in by breeders who don't have the best programs and breed for the tiny without factoring in health problems. A yorkie that is breed to be tiny is a total different case then the runt who has a possibility of being healthy.

ok.. sorry... I am saying what has already been said a dozen times. Just wanted to say my version of it

Yeah that'd be simple if you were discussing something you didn't care about.
