I wish I could turn back the clock and do things a lot different. I know I have made my share of mistakes. I love showing too but just don't have the funds to do it right now. I have 18 months to go before I can start getting my retirement and if all goes well I sure hope to start going to more shows. At least that is my aspiration.
Some people can have a passion for the breed but not be mentored or they might be mentored by someone that does not share the same views as you. I see all kinds of yorkie breeders and I think many are passionate about what they do but not all have the same goals, values and ethics.
