I went back and read all the info and learned some things myself

love this place -- how many puppies does a commercial breeder have to produce to be a usda breeder? sorry if this was answered but i am just curious

I would have welcomed all that info myself after going through what i have gone through. It really is so tough though as over the past 4 years i have met many people on yorkie groups including this one and have become friends and we talk and the sad thing is i know some that have pups from reputable show breeders that have paid $3,000 and they ended up having liver shunt and 25% use of kidney and she thought she was getting a good quality show dog

I met another one who researched for a year to find the best breeder and paid top dollar and her pup has bladder stones and liver disease and she has been through the ringer, and then my own experiences i have shared. It is so hard to know but all you can do is try to do your best to do your homework and prepare for the worst and hope for the best and try to go to the best breeder you can find through recommendations from others.

I really thought in reading the posts that people were trying to help her and inform her and ultimately she needed to make the best decision for herself but i welcome any information myself but ultimately i will make the decision myself and deal with the consequences as i have with mine.

When you deal with sick ones you become very passionate about warning others of things because you know the heartache from your own experiences and from reading about others on the groups you are on. If you have been blessed with healthy ones then that is great but those that have not become very passionate and are constantly trying to read and educate on groups such as yahoo groups to help their babies and in doing so learn a ton and see alot of sad stories that others may not and it is great when they can share with others to help them with what they have learned and forewarn the ones that could be entering into that arena. I myself am on the groups for mostly that reason as i want to help others in the areas i have learned alot on so that they may not have to endure the financial and emotional heartache we have with ours.

I love that all of us can learn from each other and am thankful to those that have taught me some things I did not know.

Just sad that she was so offended as I think the intentions on that thread really were meant to inform her as she seemed to do good research herself but others were bringing up some good points too.
