This is me and my opinion... I wish BEFORE I had purchased Bella I would have joined YT. I was taken by a broker and bought a dog who was registered (I didnt know it was ACA and not AKC). I am one of those people who let my yorkie "accidently" breed, meaning I believe it was MY FAULT for NOT spaying her and I should have spayed her a lot sooner but didnt and I take responsibility for my actions. I know I made a mistake and dont let my feelings be hurt by professional breeders saying I shouldnt have been so irresposible, because it is the truth which is why it stings, having to admit I made a mistake. Once I got past the sting the professional breeders are the greatest.

Yes I do believe I have to start somewhere but BEFORE I start I need to take responsibility for my actions, for my dog, and I as a new breeder I need to research BEFORE my dog becomes pregnant. I cannot have hurt feelings because professional breeders are frustrated that I as a newbie was ignorant in obtaining the correct info BEFORE I allowed her to breed. I know how dogs get pregnant and if I put my female in the situation to get pregnant then it is my fault not an accident.

Before Bella became pregnant I did not think it would be all that hard to have a pregnant dog and puppies. I am ashamed to have been soooooo ignorant!!!! Bellas pregnancy was EASY no issues but I worried about her. MY maternal instincts kicked in and I worried alot. I believed I was completely researched for the whelp...well I was panicked on the phone at 2am to a professional breeeder because I didnt know what the bubble was. Luckily the professional breeder walked me through until the pup was born. Had I done all this the right way I would have experienced a birth with a mentor and known what was going on was normal. Now I have LITTLE sleep, a momma with mastitis and 5 puppies that I worry about daily, not to mention the draining bank account.

I think if you look back through posts were people asked for help one of the professional breeders stepped up to the plate and helped, even in the middle of the night. They are not being paid or benefited for the wealth of information they give out to us freely.

I think I as an accidental breeder I will swallow my pride take the sting admit my fault and move on from there. I have had NO issues with the professional breeders. I will also say without Mardelin I could not have done this!
