No one should be afraid to ask any question when it comes to learning about the how tos of breeding, whelping and raising a litter...If people is afraid to ask questions then maybe breeding isn't for them...I mean people should always want to learn more about it not just to stop learning cause they whelped a healthy litter of puppies or because they didn't loose any puppies.

I was very blessed to have 2 precious healthy litters but I choose to take a year off from breeding to learn more, not be downed by others, to try ask any and all questions to find out what I need to know about breeding/whelping/raising Yorkies...I have books yes, I do read them but I still have tons of questions that books can't always answer all the time. There is such good advice here on the Breeders Section it is free for the taking if people will just take it...That right there I feel is the problem...They want help handed to them on a Silver Platter...Well everything isn't handed to all of us, you have to work at it to get it.

And yes Breeding is a work...A work of Art so to speak...If your going to do it right, then do it right, stop and restart if you make mistake, view, learn, go back and see your faults you made don't be afraid to admit your mistakes.

I paint, do I make mistakes sure I do. Do I leave those mistake on my walls? No I wipe them off and start over...This like breeding...When I started I didn't have the best high dollar yorkies you could ask for...By the Grace of God I have some that are beautiful and that have good qualities in them that I feel will help my breeding program in the future. What did I do stopped, viewed, realized my mistakes (Not saying any of my Yorkies was mistakes by no means) admitted where I went wrong, and I am starting over.

People need to ask questions like me...This is how I'm learning, sure I get some hateful responses but oh well...I "TRY" and I say "Try" to look over them and go on..Sure I get upset but that is life, full of ups and downs, when I get upset I tell it sometimes too..Should I always??? No but a person can only take so much and then it has to come out.

Sometimes when us breeders are trying to explain things or just ask someone to "READ" before your whelping day comes they get mad at us and think we're being mean...Some people expect us to give the "RIGHT" answers, well what is right for one whelping yorkie or other breeds may not be right for another one. Or some think we know it all, well we breeders don't know it all...No one here on YT knows it all...I don't care how long they've been breeding or how many litters they've whelped...Things happen so different with each litter.

It's not right to down us when we tell the truth...Not being hateful...We're not trying to be hateful with everyone, but sometimes you have to get your point across to those who won't take advice the easy way...With a simple well you do it this way or get this to help you. There are those who come on the threads and make smart remarks to those who is helping someone then that helper gets upset and there you go it gets all messed up. So where is the help? Lost in the mass confusion and fussing. This is all my OPO tho and I hope you all can make sense of what I'm trying to say. Lee
