I am not sure what I did? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

bonmur · 02-15-2007, 07:45 AM

After getting a reccomendation from a fellow YT'er I emailed a breeder that has some Yorkies with good pedigrees. I was interested in one foe my daughter to do JR. handling with through 4-H but also wanted one that if she did well she could go into AKC showing... SHe ahs done the handing with Ritz a little but he really is not conformationally correct for AKC events as isnt Shellie.. Theya re wonderful dogs but Ritz iz so so small and SHellie is Just so lanky... I got an email back asking why I wante to breed? I replied that I did not have breeding in mind. If I wanted to only breed I have dogs now that I could breed but was interested in a show quality pup and ahd no interest in breeding . WOw I got the meanest email that I had contacted her before ( which I had not, I only recently was looking for a show quality pup like within the last week since CHelsea has shown continued interest in the handling aspect, and not to ever contact her again. What did I do wrong? I am almost in tears right now....

I'm so sorry was it a memeber here on YT? Or was it a breeder here in Utah

MeganS · 02-15-2007, 07:50 AM

I'm so sorry.

Maybe you had a similar email to someone else? You should email her again and try to explain it to her. *hug*

bonmur · 02-15-2007, 07:55 AM

No, she was a breeder in Colorado....
I tried to explain just because I hate it when people think I am lying :-(
AT this point I do not want one of her puppies or otherwise. It is too bad when you think you are better than me and can pre-judge jsut because I inquired about a puppy :-( I am so bummed now. Not because I especially wanted one of her dogs, I have lookeda t plenty but since she was just a state over I thought it would be a great opportunity to be able to see the parents etc. I will stick witht he friendler people and not recommend this breeder to my friends and otherwise looking for quality Yorks!
No I will not divulge the name as she is well spoken of here so I was really excited when I got pm'd the link etc.
I hate it when I get accused of being a liar

Amber_lv · 02-15-2007, 08:00 AM

I pm'd you

That is horrible. I understand that breeders need to be careful where they place their dogs, especially when full registration is involved. But this uppity, holier-than-thou attitude some seem to take is not only rude, it is unprofessional. They need to come down off their high horse! It is like they think they were born breeders/show people and never were novices. Thankfully there are a couple of very caring and encouraging breeders that show here on YT. They take the time to answer even my dullest questions and have never demeaned or slammed me for taking an interest in Yorkies beyond the pet stage. I hope your next exchange is more pleasant. I think you did well to weed that name from your short list, no matter how well she might have been spoken of in the past.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

bonmur · 02-15-2007, 08:37 AM

You know I keep going throught he email exchange to see if there was something that set her off? SHe has TONS of yorkies I see after searching and lists on petfinder as well

Too bad you didn't get one of the litter I just sold. all four of mine are good show prospects and will start this summer. One of my previous puppies is already in handling classes. She will be in her first show in march I think and we have been told that there is no reason why she shouldn't finish. i don't show and have no interest at all in it. My parents just produce some great puppies. ceeby is quite the little stud. he was used every time. I am so sorry you got your feelings hurt.

This may be a dumb statement, but I didn't think that reputable show breeders listed their puppies on Petfinder. Most of the breeders on here seem to have their pups spoken for almost as soon as they're born.

cj125 · 02-15-2007, 01:42 PM

Oh, btw, I am sorry that she treated you that way. I don't even like it when the Vice President of our site (work) has a condescending attitude. She puts her pants on the same way I do!

YorkieRose · 02-15-2007, 01:47 PM

AMEN....reputable breeders do not use Petfinders or pet forums.

Not a dumb statement at all.. very astute, reputable show breeders do not list their puppies on Petfinder and do have their puppies spoken for even before they are whelped as they have a waiting list.

red98vett · 02-15-2007, 02:10 PM

If that breeder has to sell on Petfinder then she had no business getting that attitude with you. I'm sorry she was so nasty but don't let it get to you - it sounds like she needs to wake up and check herself.

people can really be rude
