Did you take my post personally... if so it was not meant to be about you.. just this kind of posts in general...
But as for making money the little guy generally does not.. my biggest litter was this time.. and it was 4 and I lost three.. so my hubby says you pay good money for a dog to breed and your still in the hole.. I already stated my reasons for a litter a year...I need something to do with my life.. wanted to show earlier but much harder in canada to get a mentor..
I find many people that get sick dogs that post on here.. never do research, buy from a pet store or from a breeder and get a puppy way way to young and then not knowing how to look after such young puppies are at a loss when something goes wrong.. low blood sugar being a huge one..
I have sat and done my homework on yorkies that I can buy to breed.. looking for the best.. without getting from a show breeder as most will not sell to a breeder that does not show.. I do not just buy any old yorkie or get three for the price of one good one and then just breed and they do not even look like a yorkie..
But there are many judgemental people that do not know a person yet say things that are not needed...and I will tell you.. having yorkie for 20 years.. I had never heard of half the problems people have until I joined yt.. and I guess with some 30,000 people we are going to get all kinds... I guess I should say I had heard of lots by reading but not personally...
I have known people that know nothing about a yorkie nor do research and get a baby that is as healthy as one can be.. I sometimes think.. crap as much as I know.. I can still get scammed which I have on more then one occasion in my yorkie days..
