Sorry I didn't realize it was hard to read I too have mine font big too. As far as long post well I'm just one who trys to explain things, not to draw it out or things like that...I am a talker in person. & Donna thanks for not getting mad at me for saying U're straight forward.

As far as Galahad and Sages' heats I understand totally why some of U didn't answer and that is fine, I'm not mad over it...Just wondering about it to learn. I tried to find out what a modified coat is & heat cycles on here but still don't fully understand them both yet.

I can honestly say I have made NO money in raising Yorkies, I feel it's because I put any money from adopting our puppies out is put back into our Yorkies. I do tend to buy costly items for them but this is my choice.

I am not in competition with anyone else and I am breeding for myself first off. I simply keep trudging along bettering my own program and will always be working towards that goal.
I think you will find some that are caught up in the my dog is better than your dog attitude, and are what we call kennel blind, where they think only their dogs/program is worthy and only the lines they work with are the best etc..
I can appreciate the hard work of others and I am proud of what I have done with mine and I don't feel insecure that I cannot compliment others. So I do compliment others dogs I think its great to see breeders and exhibitors being positive of each others hard work but so often you don't see it.
There are a lot of nice dogs out there, they may not be exactly the type I breed for or from the lines I work with, but they are still indeed very nice Yorkies.
I think that is the key to being able to grow is not getting caught up in being kennel blind.

I have to agree with U on this. For instant: We was use to our Yorkies only (Teddys' cottony coat & being smaller, Tiffanies' silk coat and being heavier and all our babies has had really thick coats) before we got Sage, her being from another line (Tami please don't take this the wrong way, I love her dearly and she is one beautiful baby!!! And I'm proud we have her!!) we wasn't use to her being thin, longer snout, and her coat being thin, everyone made comments to us U paid what for that dog, why I wouldn't of. Well they didn't understand the whys of it all and that we was wanting to improve our breeding with her. But now since we've had her for awhile her beauty has come to grow on us, see if we would of had Sage 1st and not ours I think we would of felt the same way. I know there are more beautiful Yorkies out there then ours but I still love mine and they are my beauties to me. I'm not showing and I'm in no competition with anyone else either. I just love the Yorkie breed and love learning about them. I like how U put it about being Kennel Blind I'll keep that in mind guess I too was Kennel Blind when we got Sage!
