Does it make sense to you to request ANY ADVICE, and then pummel the advice when it's given to you?? When people take the time out of their day to share their advice? The members of YT are free to post whatever response they wish on this thread, as long as it is within our rules. Your job is to receive the advice that you ASKED for with an open mind and with some grace, if at all possible. You don't have to agree with the advice, but you did come here asking for it, we didn't come to you; so please respond respectfully and do not tell people what they may or may not advise on this thread. Thank you.

| Maybe go to some shows in your area and talk with folks who are showing their dogs about breeding possibilities etc. in your area. That way you will meet more Yorkie breeders/showing people to get to know them.

| It's too bad that you felt that information provided to you was received as lecturing and now as bullying because it wasn't what you wanted to hear. If you want to seek advice in a one-way conversation, where you don't want to hear facts and only want to do what you want to do, then any online forum probably isn't well-suited for you. We're all dog lovers here and have a great concern for dogs' well-beings and particularly the vast number of inexperienced people who choose to breed. Because ultimately this leads to the number of homeless dogs and the unnecessary need to euthanize innocent dogs. Based on your first few replies, it was apparent that you were defensive when hearing what you didn't want to hear. If you can, try not to be too offended. Our responses are purely based on the information you gave us. Why not have an open-mind and consider that others may be speaking some truth? If you truly care about your pet, take care of your pet as a pet and neuter him. Enjoy his beauty as a pet. Having one pet is already a hand full. You can spends hours everyday training him and teaching him tricks etc. I previously asked respectfully what your intentions were with the puppies you want to breed. To sell? To keep? To compete in dog shows? I didn't get a response to those questions, so none of us know your intentions. So, I still stand by my point that "too gorgeous not to have puppies" is not a good reason to breed him. And I've expressed my reasons why, which sadly you took to as lecturing. I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I'm pretty certain everyone here LOVE dogs. Not just their own pet dogs, but all dogs and all dogs' well-being. This is why people have responded the way they have. This love also encompasses the respect for the breeders who professionally breed purebreds. The fact is, we all think our Yorkies are gorgeous! Imagine if we all wanted to breed our babies! That's just crazy talk. And because you didn't respond to what your intentions were and became a little defensive, we can only assume you are not interested in competitive showing. In other posts, there have been members here who have asked about how to become a competitive breeder; they were clear on their intentions and received advice from breeders here who gladly gave good first-step advice. You're right, none of us knows you. Actually, no one knows anyone here for the most part. It's an online community where we all come here to learn new things. Honestly, giving you information is not lecturing. I do believe that you can only learn new things if you have the willingness to hear others. If you choose to victimize yourself, please don't seek online advice. If you want to learn more in-person from breeders, then dog shows would probably be the easiest way to learn more about breeding purebreds. But as a FYI heads up (again, honestly not lecturing you, not that I ever was), don't be offended if these breeders aren't interested in breeding with your Yorkie. Most breeders you'll meet will only breed with other breeders where their Yorkies have a well-documented champion bloodline. It's kind of the point of breeding to improve a breed.
