If it came accross as something else to some people...not much I can do about that. Maybe some of us long time members should take more notice of what it's like to be new to the site (like pointing out things they might have missed or unknown sections?) and some of those who are new should realize that us long time members aren't out to get them.

Kind of works both ways, I guess...

Well said, maybe we all learned something new today. I am just a person that has a huge heart when it comes to yorkie people. I know there are bad in all walks of life...I dealt with the bad to the bone people for too many years...
I just want to see the new people being given a chance here that is all...
I have lots of posts, yet I am still not sure...
Rules should be blunt, but maybe suggesting to someone how things work and where to go would be a kinder way that is all...then if they continue to ignore the rules, or of some nice kind hearted people, by all means they need to be TOLD...
I do not need the last say, and I will not post again....
Critisim is not for having faults, but for having faults that differ from our own.
That is kinda my moto in life...I learned that working for a teen town at a military base many years ago..it was put for the teens,...
But you have to admit, that it is far easier for a newbie to get hurt feelings, then logically thinking, like the longtime members are trying to help.

I was a newbie too not long ago, but I read the rules before I posted, and I also took into account advice that suited me, and advice that did not. If you ask for opinions/suggestions than you should expect to get them. And thats why a lot of people get hurt here. No one's mean, just zealous and passionate about the breed we love!

Well said!! It is very clear that you were just stating the rules, and offering advide as well. I'm sorry some people tend to take things as hurtful and rude when you weren't.

Ideally yeah, but there have been MANY instances where long time, good hearted YT members have been completely screwed over by newcomers. Both emotionally, and financially--people have had their money stolen, their dogs stolen, have made donations to help people out only to find out it was all a scam. That is why so many ARE so cautious.

And before it gets twisted and turned around, I am NOT saying that is the case with this OP, just a general statement. It's kind of hard to give people the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Hey, I quite understand that part. And I have seen it myself here in my short time...I was just scammed big time, so I also know the feeling...it hurts in more ways then one I tell you all...so believe me I sure know of those kinds..sometimes we all learn the hard way, but we never forgot that way neither.I did, and it makes it so much harder to put any kind of trust in people. .pooh's mum

ARCHIE · 12-05-2007, 09:47 AM

I hope all this nonsence that that has been posted does not scare the
OP away. It would be a shame if this dog lost a possible home.
Why must some things be taken so seriously? Relax!~

LilLissa. I'm a jersey girl too. Originally from Point Pleasant

I now live in Lacey. Your best bet is to search Petfinder.com and your local newspaper (Asbury Park Press). You'll find more around February, as this is when those that got pups for Christmas decide they are too much to handle and then either dump them off at the pound, rescue or in the paper.

In so far as $700 for a rescue - I have not seen that. I'm very involved with rescue. On average the donation for a rescue is about $400 BUT don't forget that includes the vetting / shots and the spay or nueter done. It's a real bargain. My Lilly who is now just about six or seven months came from rescue. Grant you she was a rare find. We got her at 13 weeks old but they are out there. For you, since you are a student and have some medical issues as well you may want to consider a young adult already trained. Maybe a two - four year old that needs a home. Yorkies are tough to train and with someone on a student schedule / homework/ classes etc. It really is easier with a little older.

Best of luck to you.

I was not saying that she came her begging for a yorkie ,I only came to bama's defense about her posting the rules...Please don't put words in MY mouth!

Shadow · 12-05-2007, 09:56 AM

I was merely posting what bama could have been pointing out in the rules!!!!

I don't think Bama meant any harm..however, when the 1st thing a newbie sees "in bold or colored font", it may come off as "Listen here" you. Almost like all caps is meant to express "yelling". Hopefully, she did not take it as such. She did mention she is very willing and understands that she may have to look at rescues becasue of her financial situation and sounds like she wants to go that route. Maybe if the reply was more like, here are your options....or you can find rescues under such and such thread...and then politiely suggest to her that being new, she may want to read over some of the rules, etc. etc. would make it a little more "warm" and welcoming.

Again..not going against anyone...just my 2cents as I don't post much on these types of things..

I just did the different font/color to *try* to differentiate between what I was typing and what I was copying. And yes, there has been alot of nonsense here.

paulapoo · 12-05-2007, 01:59 PM

I suggest Petfinder.com, too. You can type in the breed your interested in and what area you live in. They provide names of local shelters and pictures of available babies.....purebred and mixed. Most are in foster care and their foster parents are usually very happy to discuss their personalities and behavior and terms for adoption. I think it's a great idea. I'm on a limited income and if I'm ever in need of another dog, that's the route I'm going!!!! Good Luck in finding a companion!

grayxie · 12-05-2007, 02:10 PM

Have you tried Craigslist? Every once in a while there is a posting for a yorkie, but more than half the time they are scams so be careful. Even though you don't have alot to spend to purchase one, you also have to consider the long term cost of caring for a yorkie. It can get quite expensive at times.
