I can't tell you how many calls I receive for female teacups! I need to just record the answer and let it play! As far as the money goes you know as well as I do that showing eats up all the cash. I can't bring Preston out until I can finish Connor or put him with a handler, I can't put Connor with a handler until I sell a puppy or two and I am holding 2 pups for the ring at present so I'm a little stuck here. I care about the breed and I am an ethical breeder and a true yorkie lover and an exuberant new exhibitor but I must admit that all of this has me feeling totally overwhelmed. How many tests are we to be responsible for and how long are we to hold onto these pups and what is coming around the corner next? |
If I was a breeder and someone called asking for a teacup, they sure wouldn't be getting one of my puppies. Anyone asking for a teacup is uneducated and needs to research the breed more before buying a puppy. Even a small amount of research would tell them there is no such thing as a teacup. Maybe you should have a waiting list started before you consider having a litter if they are that hard to place?
