| Why are the "designer dog" threads in this section? Okay, I may get a lot of flack(sp?) for posting this, but why don't the mixed breed threads get moved to the Yorkie Brothers and Sisters Section? Even if noboby can seem to agree on whether they're a new breed or mutts, I think we can all agree that they're not yorkies. Wasn't there some talk about giving them their own section? It just seems to me that it would cut down on some of arguments. |

| You have a good point about keeping the arguments down. If they have their own section, people would have no need to go there if they had no interest, right?

WRONG! There are those who seek out the mixed breed threads just to stir things up with their own agendas & you can believe their true intentions are not to "welcome". The majority of YT members are welcoming!! Why let the ones with negativity (like this thread, for instance) run those with part yorkie mixes into a secluded section. I guarantee the OPs who start those threads did not post with the intentions of negativity. Others go there & begin the negativity.

| So, that's what this thread is about. I almost didn't read it, because I thought it pertained to designer clothes for Yorkies. I'm the result of too many speed reading courses.

| I dont think harley_chik meant anything rude either but i think some will think they are not wanted because they have mix breed. That should not be the case though. I think anybody should be welcome no matter what breed they have.

| Oh no... I really think this thread should be locked. We welcome ALL yorkies here at YT whether they be mixes or not. It is NOT their fault and many of them are rescues. Should we not be able to post about them because they aren't purebred yorkies? To all of you with mixed yorkies....the VAST majority of us welcome you. Please don't let this thread run you off. This is just plain wrong.

| This thread should go to "Site Suggestion" section. I don't come on YT lately as I used to. And this is the thread I am reading today. Personally, I like full breed. But I used to have mutt... Everyone has different likes. Even I like full breed I can come up so many reasons why people may prefer mixed breeds. So everyone should be able to have their likes and dislikes. Only challenges I see in this type of conversation is that we sometimes end up judgmental about others. YT always has been a friendly site. Wherever the mixed breed section goes, I hope we can respect each other.

| If we are talking about a mixed breed that doesn't have any yorkie in it, I could see suggesting that it be moved to the brothers & sisters forum because YORKIES is actually what this site is about, but if they are part yorkies like yorkiepoos or morkies or whatever then they should post in the yorkie forums... they are YORKIES after all. So since Smokey may not be all yorkie because he was a puppy mill baby that ended up in rescue, that means I can't post in the general yorkie section. Sorry, but my possible mixed breed yorkie is just as good as your full breed yorkie and I'll post wherever I please, thank you! And the only arguements over "mixed breeds" I've seen are about people purposely breeding mixed breeds and calling them "designer dogs", etc and a lot of the time the people posting are just coming on here to pull some legs... I have NEVER seen anyone start an arguement over just talking about an issue or a funny story or pictures of a mixed breed baby unless it has something to do with breeding them.
