Yorkieisme,
Thank you for your note. I will look forward on being on much more positive threads in the future. I have learned a lot in my 8 years of raising puppies and know I will always be able to learn more from others. I also hope that some of what I have learned from sources that many people don't get to have like I do - classes from AKC judges, classes from vet's on specialized areas, and other seminars that the average pet owner might not get to attend, might enable me to help someone now and then.

"My Bible verses"
I might change a lot of things in my life - I'm sure not perfect - but if I had to describe myself - a Christian is number 1 for me. I am a believer in the saving power of Christ with the number one desire in my life being to live in a Christlike manner - which I have to continue to work on daily. That is more important to me then being a mom, wife, friend, doggy mom, etc., and I hope this also makes me a better wife, mom, friend, doggy mom, etc. So I see no reason to hide that because some people think they see someone hiding "something evil or deceptive" behind Bible verses. I have sold puppies to people off ALL walks of life - in different religions, no religion, etc, and different life styles - but we all have respected each other's beliefs even if we don't agree with each other. None of these people worried because I decided to put up Bible verses just as I hope I would not judge you should you decide to use quotes or icons from some one source as something you want to live by. This helps people know who I am. If a person doesn't like who I am due to me having Bible verses on my site, then I am glad they go to someone else to get their puppy.

As far as the designer dogs - that's a difference of opinion. I have AKC show friends who are championing purebred after purebred dog - championing 4 to 5 dogs a year, who are raising "designer puppies" to sell. They are just not brave enough to come out about it. I'm having a blast with the designer puppies and finding homes that are just as good as the Yorkie have here for these precious babies. I also get a lot better "reports" on house breaking and training for these puppies then I get on the Yorkie puppies. Yorkie owners know what I mean. My precious Butterfly whom I LOVE dearly - we are still working on with the house breaking. At least she seems to have decided on one rug to use instead of my whole house now that she is almost 3 years old! My husband had just had to learn to live with my "little green machine" ready to use to clean up after her. She only goes outside with me every few hours - so what can I say.

Unless someone wants me to go against my convictions, I prefer to respect another person by agreeing to disagree. I want to do my best to overlook the small things that can cause bickering - there is too little time in this world to let the small things keep us from good relationships / friendships.
