My husband and I are so upset
 

I have to ask the show breeders out there a question.

let me tell you what happened to me yesterday....

it was pouring down rain and my husband and i were outside watching and we saw three silkies running in the rain. i called them to my house. we kept them in the garage and i called animal control to see if anyone had reported them missing. which none had. after the rain, i placed them all on leashes and took them to the corner of my street hoping who ever lost them would be looking for them and see me. well she did. i come to find out over a year ago, i had rescued these dogs before. they are champion silkies. the owner wasn't too grateful. she started to tell me about her in the ring and she used to judge. i then told her i had Yorkshire Terriers.

well....she then started to tell me yorkies are frail, bad teeth. by the time they are 5 yrs old they have to eat mush. she said she would judge them and wonder why they would continue to breed such a poor dog. my husband was beside himself and walked away. by the way, my dogs are not champions but they were much better looking than her dogs any day of the week.

now do you find that other show breeders tend to get jealous, or just think their breed is the best and all others are worth nothing?

i haven't a clue why she was so ugly to me after i saved her three champions from possible being runned over by a car.

we are just so very upset.

sorry so long but i just have to vent

Sounds like she was trying to sound superior over you or something...what a loser...she should have been grateful to you for rescuing her dogs a lesser person might have KEPT them!! How the heck do they all keep getting loose?? Hopefully none are in tact females...one might just come home pregnant after one of these escapades!!!!!! I wonder how many times she has had to go out looking for these babies that you dont know about...dont be upset..she just make herself look stupid..

Dawn

It is possible that she really does feel this way.She just sounds like a woman lacking tact and grace.Either way it was rude of her

she breeds them and yes....she one day is going to find her girl pregnant.

Don't waste another ounce of your energy worrying over what she had to say. Jealousy rears it's ugly head in many ways...or maybe she was frustrated that her dogs got out 'again' and she took it out on you. I know that's no excuse for her but you should feel good knowing you did the right thing and let her conscience deal with her attitude and rudeness.

I've had Yorkies for probably 20 years now and I've never had one loose all of their teeth and have to eat mush...they're no more frail than other small breeds and for the most part their health issues depend on the breeding stock. Yes, you will find Yorkies that are sickly but you'll find health issues in every other breed too.

Did you see all the dead brain cells when you looked up her nostrils because she had her nose so high in the air that she couldn't be GRATEFUL!!! Holy cow! How does somebody lose 3 pups, have them returned and not be appreciative????? I don't blame your husband for walking away.

Kudo's to you for rescuing them.

:yelrotflm :bravo: :sidesplt: :sidesplt:

ok...you made my day. thanks

Some people believe offense is the best defense. Probably what happened here. The lady was most likely terribly embarrassed...probably recalls you rescuing her babies last time. Just a thought.

I agree she should have been thanking you for going out of you way to keep her dogs safe.
Her comments were rude and thoughless.

LOL---yeah dat up there.:thumbup:

I am sorry that you had this negative experience. I wonder what FACTS she is basing her opinions on?

Funny and so true too!!!!!! You people are on a roll today:D

"well....she then started to tell me yorkies are frail, bad teeth. by the time they are 5 yrs old they have to eat mush. she said she would judge them and wonder why they would continue to breed such a poor dog. "

My oldest boy turns 15 in November and he has all his teeth... chews on his bully stick every evening.:)

I'm glad she isn't judging anymore!
Nothing worse than doing something nice for someone and feeling badly after you're done.

Wow, that woman sounds incredibly rude! I'm so sorry that you had a negative experience after saving her 3 silkies...

People never cease to amaze me. What a crappy thing for her to do after you saved her dogs... and in the rain at that. Her attitude shows just how ignorant she is and the more her mouth opens - the more she shows what a fool she must be.

Take it with a grain of salt and know YOU did the right thing and you should be proud of yourself. Those poor dogs - imagine living with someone who thinks that way ?? Glad to know there aren't that many out there like her - at least I hope there isn't

and lol on the DEAD Brain cells !
