so these people that say they can make it on producing litters need to write a book.. I was hoping only to get money back that would help towards maravihosa's costs.. and am still needing a new male.. so I do not get this at all...I breed for my love of this breed.. and I breed the best I can purchase to use in my small breeding program..
So I for one do not believe if you do it right.. go to the vet and make sure the female is cared for and looked after.. then the babies.. that takes money.. but if you cannot do that.. then why bother..

This is my experience also BUT i do it because i LOVE Yorkies - am no longer able to show but i sure love to see some babies every once in a while and to see the happy faces when i place a new baby ( even though i am lucky to break even on the money part ) and then i have that thought that all good people deserve a good healthy baby so when some one loses one due to a "MONEY GRUBBING " back yard breeder and the puppy dies in 3 days or so - i even help that unsuspecting person have a healthy happy baby - there goes more of that "BIG PROFIT' some unknowing amature thinks you can make .
OK - I will get off my soap box as i could vent about this subject most all day and still have plenty to say
