[TeddyandTiffy]

I know how U feel & if I have even made U feel this way I'm sorry. Sometimes I felt like I too was being attacked (I think maybe we've all felt this way at some point and time here on YT??) and didn't like it, I still feel that way with some of the replies but that comes from my post but that comes with the good and the bad of our OPO or our own personal experiences so I take it in stride. And sometimes I feel under (Please don't take this the wrong way)some of U here as far as Show Quality or more Experienced Breeders but it's not in a bad way all the time, it's through a learning way and if I ever want to get to where U all are then I have to earn that and work toward that. So this is why YT Breeding/Showing Section is so important to me, to learn.

I'm by NO means a experienced Breeder, but I came here to YT to learn and try to help others through my experiences from when I started breeding, grooming, feeding, training Yorkies...Yes I myself have been lippy as U may call it and I've tried to tone that down some, not all the way I know yet (I do hope I NEVER get banned from YT, I'd be lost without it .) but I am a very truthful person.

I am striving to become a Breeder (May of been what others view as a BYB before leaning from my mistake but that's okay too) who does breed for the better of the Yorkie Breed, I realized some, maybe not all of my mistakes and yes we all breeders, show people ect... have and do make mistakes. I had Tiffiane spaded so we wouldn't be one to throw out large puppies and lie about it and them be put in shelters and so forth. Will we have show Quaility Puppies with Sage and Galahad? I don't know until we breed them and see what they have, should there be pet quailty puppies or larger ones as they do tend to run in Tiffanies' line, then they will be adopted out for pet quality only.

I've gotten advice from Several Show Breeders here on YT and I will learn with breeding but I will try not to make the same mistake twice.

I have had 2 litters with Teddy and Tiffanie and out of those Litters we got Sir. Galahad out of our 1st litter and he seems to have what we need to breed with Sage to have a better quality of AKC Standard Yorkies and out of our 2nd litter we got Sofie and she is a better quality of the AKC Standard Yorkie. All others we're adopted out on Spay/Neuter Contracts as Pet Quality puppies.

Now I'm not saying we're at the Show Quality stage of our breeding but I don't feel these 2 litters of puppies we're in vain, they have pruduced a better quality of Yorkies so that we may improve our lines. We did have to adopt Sage in order to get that other line of Yorkies going for us and help us improve our line.

The reason I'm trying to explain my whys of breeding and view of it for us is so others coming to this board new doesn't think I'm a know it all (Which I'm not) or that I haven't had my ups and downs here at YT with others OPO of me or my Yorkies or even my breeding but I try not to take it personally or as an attack. Or for others to think that I had perfect puppies with these 2 litters by no means was they perfect for AKC we just happen to have 2 that is more to the AKC Standards not all the way to the AKC Standards. But maybe with Sage and Galahad we will be at the AKC Standards, maybe not, we may not have Show Quality yet either. Time will tell this. But we are striving to get there and yes we all make mistakes but we should try to learn from these mistakes not keep repeating them.

I hope this all makes sense to U all. All I know is that I do want and need the Breeders Section here at YT to go on and not to be shut down, I myself love it here and learn so much.

I'm sorry if I myself have made others here feel under anyone else or hurt feelings, please forgive me if I have, I'm not trying to hurt anyone or fuss, just maybe try to help someone to learn what I've gone through and not to make the same mistakes I have made.
