Great Posts!! I try and stay away from the breeder section - since it gets me so upset and mad - so many people breeding and have no idea what they are doing to our breed.

The worst one I have heard is they "want to breed to spread love to others and let them enjoy the breed at a good price." Ugh! They do not know what our standard is, what a pedigree is, no testing down, just put dog A and dog B together since they think they will make good pups. Or they say I want to breed for pets - not show. Tells me they know nothing about genetics and why people show.
Okay I got it out. I feel better now.

Also --- I have been deciding wheather to share this or not.. but here it goes...most YT people do not know this -
but the talk is out there among the professionals - that it is frowned upon to post on here and we should not if one wants a good reputation. I thought about this for awhile and thought - How are people in our breed going to learn? How can we better the breed? How can we protect the standard if we do not help and educate others. If breeders with great knowledge stay away - then only uneducated will share with one another and may totally mess it up completely. I am very thankful that when I first got started in yorkies/showing that there were very edcuated people in the breed that shared their knowledge with me. And it is with great respect that I pass this knowledge on.
P.S. I am still learning more even to this very day.
