its understandable that everyone here has their views on what to do and what not to do.i am younger than prolly most of the members on here and if this was a topic i knew more on,such as catching shoplifters or car stuff and someone here was saying something that i didnt feel was accurate or was more concerned in another point of the topic than one i felt was more important.so i understand where some of you come from.and yea maybe your right,keep the breed standard.but u know iv seen some of the "champion" yorkies around..and a few of them are nothing special.so yea part of my reason to want to breed my dogs are because they are cute ,very healthy and b/c i have people begging for puppies or calling all the time to stud my male.now that doesnt mean thats all im concerned with.i live within a 1/4 mile from our vet and they go to the vet quite regularly.and when i ask questions about breeding,i ask my vet.thats why i didnt ask about the risks of breeding or what to look for and worry about.i ask my vet all that and prolly would have asked yorkietalk when the time came closer.my g/f asked about the studding fee..not b/c we wanted money,b/c trust money is of no concern to us and tho we may bitch about it,we spare no expenses on our babies....we asked about the stud fee b/c we didnt want to ask to much or ask something at all if we werent supose to.we wanted to go into this without offending anyone and coming off as backyard breeders or puppy pimps.if you love the breed so much,you should have helped us to learn the right things to ask and to do,maybe even the right books to read or websites to look at.not attack us and look down on us b/c you have a 30 year head start.we will stay around this site and continue to talk on here and ask questions.but we wont ask about breeding anymore.not here atleast.and whether you want to except it or not theres is a diff. b/t us and backyard breeders.we care for the puppies and our babies.we love the breed and would never want to hurt it.some of you call yourselves professional breeders.i dont want to be a professional breeder.this isnt my life or a hobbie.its me sharing my love and enjoyment for the breed with other that can take them in and give them a good home and love them as i do.i have no desire to be a puppy pimp and make a living buying and selling yorkies and looking down on people b/c i have nothing else to do with my life and time other than breed and run puppymills.and for those of you who show your yorkie,congrats.that takes time and talent and i give you respect for it.but just b/c you breed and you have 5-6 yorkies running around your house b/c their pups pay the bills,doesnt make you special.thats all i have..hate it or love it...i really couldnt care less....
