I delivered pups last night, so I'm slow.. You wrote your reply and posted while I was writing my post. Thank you for your reply, and your future help with questions.
I'm sorry you felt judged, but we have had a great deal of stressful posts lately. Bragging about "born blue pups", breeding "teacups", and "wanna breed because I love my pet". I'm sure you hear lots of that yourself, and hope that you understand concerns posted.
It's been very difficult to be trying with all your soul to breed correctly, ethically, and honestly to see someone pop up and ask for help in delivering puppies out of a 2 lb Bitch bred to a 7 lb male, and never asked beforehand for the do's and don'ts of breeding, or the "my pups are now 7 weeks old, when do I dock tails" phone call I got the other night..
I studied, asked questions, called and went to visit with Vets and several breeders before I even thought I might have what it takes to be a good breeder, or for that matter before I bought my 1st Yorkie. None of us know everything, a lot of us know a lot.. But we all could learn more... We welcome your expertise!
