You are to be commended for making the effort to learn. I am so very sorry that you were shunned by the show breeder.... What an awful thing to do - turn away someone who is genuinely seeking knowledge.
You have cometo the right place to be welcomed with open arms and to learn. I can't wait to see pics of your Yorkie family.
