No -- we are two different Debs. Deb Stiller is an experienced breeder. I am a novice with a lot of studying under my belt but new to actual breeding.
I also agree about finding a mentor. I talked at great length about breeding with two breeders. One especially was encouraging to me. She would give me so much information each time we talked, I had to make notes. She even helped me find a complimentary male and went with me to pick him out. That was going above and beyond but she just loves Yorkies and was very supportive. Also read, read, and re-read. I learned a lot right here on YT, especially about what can go wrong, since so many come here for help in emergencies. I also found lots of books to help. I bought several used ones online using Amazon.com.
