Are the "Yorkies for sale/wanted" forums still moderated? When I was looking for another dog I remember that a moderator had to approve my post before it appeared on the "Yorkies For Sale or Wanted" forum. Is it no longer this way? There seem to be quite a few people selling or looking to buy "teacups." I would think that these would be edit and/or deleted. Just curious. :) |
Not sure how some of those made it through, actually. I just edited some language out - and we'll see if admin wants them gone altogether. Thanks, Kyle :) |
The Yorkies for Sale forums are moderated. We believe that this is a teaching opportunity as we can teach new members who may be seeking "teacups". We do PM all new members and write a short blurb on the fact there is no such things as "teacup Yorkies". We feel if a member are searching for teacups, then this is an opportunity for them to learn there is no such thing, rather than just deleting their post. We will not approve For Sale posts where breeders are advertising "teacups" as breeders should definitely know better. |
I get so upset when someone asks me what my girls are.. I was out on a walk around the block a few days ago and a lady came out and asked me if they were toy sized.. I just looked at her and said "no 'mam, they're just regular YORKIES" and then went into explaining their sizes as puppies and right now (and Evie's estimated adult size)... I get angry... but yet.. I feel so bad for these people who aren't educated enough... If you know WHAT a yorkie is.. then you should know their average size is anywhere from 4 to 7 pounds (give or take our tinies and teapots;)) Thank You admin and mods for educating people on the sizes of OUR babies and not just banning their posts.. obviously they never knew or they would never be asking for teacups. ALL IMO:rolleyes::) |
Also, on there a woman is selling a mix breed (Yorkiepoo) for $1200!!! |

I am uncomfortable with people coming on here just to sell their dogs. I think you should be an established and donating member in order to sell a dog. I think we are attracting members for the wrong reason. |
although I think that SHOULD be the case.. establishing a DM isn't anything hard either... to sell our babies.. they need something more |

Yes, I've always thought it odd that you have to be a donating member to sell items but not to sell puppies. Seems like it would be most beneficial to YT and its members to require a member to be a donating member before selling puppies. I really think someone should be a donating member before posting any for sale thread. It would also be nice if someone had to have say at least 100 posts or so before selling a puppy here as well. Hate to see people sign up only to sell puppies |
