Why are you here to defend this breeder on this thread? Very curious. Yes, there are 2 sides to every story -- but why are you on this ONE side...?
To the OP - I'm so very sorry for your loss, you must be just heartbroken.
| WindyAcres's post triggered my curiosity and I went onto their website to take a look. So... Courtash Yorkies "specialize[s] in t-cups, ( yes, t-cups) 1 1/2 to 4 lbs. "Not the standard for a Yorkie" just a description of the size of the dog. I have beautiful baby doll face Yorkies with apple heads, cobby bodies, short ears and short legs, heavy coat and again not the standard. 47 generations plus of 2 1/2 lbs. and under" :eek:
The nicest people can have good intentions. But honestly (imo), breeding dogs to be that small is just cruel. Why must we, humankind, be breeding animals to be so unnaturally small, just to satisfy our desire for cute little things?! I'm sorry, but just because you've been doing it for 35 years, doesn't make it a good/right thing.
And then I poked around some more and found this old post from a member by the name of Pocket Yorkies interesting: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...yorkies-6.html Quote:
Thank you for your welcome. Being new, I was unsure how I would be received, especially with the story of my experience. Upon reading some of the threads in the breeder section, I felt a hint of a “member exclusivity” and “pack mentality” toward others who were outside the “group” which have been almost viscious. Bordering on liable, my lawyer cousin and I had a discussion concerning the fine line between freedom of speech and slander with the intention of defaming a person or business. Having said that, I like the premise of a Yorkshire community and will continue to peruse other forums before arriving at a judgment encompassing the entity at large. Thanks again for the hello.
| Hmm...it certainly is a fine line between freedom of speech and slander. But if we're not able to voice our opinions of what we think are right vs wrong, then, how will the general public know better or have the chance to think for themselves? If this is all considered slander, then we'd all be ignorant and buy all these teacup Yorkies assuming it's a good thing? :( |
