I for one value Myfairlacy's opinions and to be honest I personally have learned something from her!!! We can all learn something from someone and to make this a thread for just professional breeders is just plain stupid! Sorry I really don't mean to offend anyone but if you don't care for anyone on this fourm then don't answer them just ignore them! Good Grief most of us are adults and the one person that is getting slammed for her age you all are acting way younger than her and she's being the adult about this!
I don't have to defend my breeding program and never have and never will but seems to me there are some on here that seems to feel the need to defend their program and if that's the case well you know where I'm going with that! I stand by Myfairlacy 100%, my breeding program and my beliefs plain and simple and if you don't like my advice or opinion by all means ignore it and move on...I won't argue with anyone because there is no need. I'm not gonna beat my head against a wall for nothing....
And as far as BYB's I stand by what I think they are and no one will change my mind!

Unless there have been pm's flying about or something, I haven't seen anyone on here tell someone they can't have an opinion because they don't breed. Nor have I seen anyone insulted. I am really confused about the attack on age that you mention.
People are just making the point that you can have all the knowledge in the world, but it doesn't mean experience. According to YT, the purpose of the forum is "for breeders (experienced and not) to share their experiences, learn from each other, help new members, and to have a place to talk about the lessons, joys, pain, heartache, and excitement of breeding yorkies! It is also for discussion on breeders and if you are not a breeder, you can also post questions for breeders here." This indicates that the purpose of the forum is to learn from breeders. Not that non-breeders don't have knowledge, but that is not the purpose of this forum. I don't breed, and I recognize that anything I could have learned in books does not prepare me fully for whelping. I do not consider it insulting or negative that others realize this, and don't see why a non-breeder would find a problem in that realization.
You have a perfect right to have and state your opinions about byb, breeding, or anything else for that matter. Just as everyone else does.
