You are right though, training a puppy is a lot of work.

Just wanted to let people know that not all NON show breeders are in it for the money. Many of us are just as concerned about the dog as you are. We do not breed just for one trait. As for me, health and temperament come first. if you do not have a healthy good tempered dog, looks are meaningless, unless you are showing. | |

You and I are not ones that feel that we must defend our breeding practices in anyway. We only have ourselves, our clients and the Man above to answer too. Selling puppies is not what attracted us to the Yorkshire Terrier Breed. It was that feeling you get when you walk into the ring with the best representation of the breed and having a trained judge give our dog the nod. Is it ego, competition, pride? Probably all. But, I pray that when I decide to leave the show/breeding world I leave the Yorkshire Terrier better than I found it.

| I think those that are trying to do right by the breed and trying to always do their best - are constantly thinking and analyzing their actions to themself. Why? Because they want to make sure that they are always making the right decisions. It is the love of the breed we do what we do! I have been involved in yorkies for almost as long as I have been married and that is a very, very, very long time. I remembered when I had to retire for awhile while I raised my own kids. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do, since my yorkies were my babies. You put in your whole soul and sweat, and tears into them. I knew I had made the right decision at the time for the love of my skin kids and my fur kids, but it was the hardest thing to this day I have every had to do. I cried for months and even threw away all the ribbons, photos (most all of them), my Yorkie Tale magazines, almost everything, since I could not bear to look at them without getting so upset. So now that I have returned - I am at it all the time and loving every minute of it. It is my love and passion! It is me. I thank God everyday for my yorkies and for allowing me the ability to return to having yorkies again and that means to do my best for them. That includes showing and everthing that goes with that to do right by the breed. Sure it would be easy to sit home on my recliner and watch TV, sit there talking on my phone and counting how many pups I could breed in a year, but that is not doing my best for the breed. So I am with you girl! It is about protecting the breed. And you are right it is about education - educating people that buy the puppies, people that want to show, people that want to breed (especially them) and people that just want to love and take the best care of their yorkie. And we should never stop learning. I have seen good improvements in the breed since the 80s and some things I do not like to hear about. I will not go into this now. But you know how I feel. Well, sorry so long. I just felt Donna's emotion and it touched me. I was just thinking Sunday how happy I was completly to have returned to having yorkies and showing again. I am in heaven and at peace with my dogs. Plain and simple. And to Nancy - thank you for acknowledging the hard work it takes. |

But she was super friendly when we met her and knew she was the one. I thought she was 1200.00 like the others but then when we paid her she charged us only $700.00.. And it was only because she had floppy ears. This breeder had several yorkies running around the house and they were groomed, clean, and ALL were friendly, not even one of them shied away from us. When I get my male pup the end of the year I am going to go back to her. I didn't want to deal with raising another little one at that time so getting an older puppy worked out well. She is 11 months now and pretty much house trained, attached to us instantly and is a good little girl. | |
