I feel a bit ambushed, Here I am being totally honest and looking for some advice and two other members have come on and are having their own little chuckle at my expense.
Mary and Donna are both good hearts. They aren't laughing at you they are laughing at their experiences in the ring.
You both are obviously experienced and have beautiful dogs and I was honestly seeking advice.
Yes I realise my little girl may not be a breeder when the time comes but she has potential and that is what Deb sold her as.
I'm glad that you realize that she may not be a breeder quality dog. By no means am I trying to put you down here.
I am investing a lot of my time, energy, money, heart and soul into starting this program. It's people like Deb to help others start their dream. Most breeders won't even talk to me, won't even think about mentoring! Even in the CKC code of ethics it talks about mentorship!
I too have found that many breeders don't want to share, but don't forget there are those special ones out there. I have found a great friend on this site 
and she is teaching me a lot with the occasional chit-chat we have. She is mentoring me in my ways of starting my own program. She may never know how much she has helped me out all ready no matter how many times I will tell her.
I do have a mentor close by, she just won't have any females available for the next few years.
Your so luck to have a mentor close by. I live in a rural area and most mentors for me would still be 4 hours away.
It feels like available I want advice I am scared to write because I'm worried someone will jump all over me. I shouldn't have to explain every little detail every time I write a thread.
Please don't feel afraid to write a thread. I have asked some stupid questions on here, and bless peoples hearts they answered them. No you shouldn't have to explain every detail, but sometimes a way a thread can be written is not understood they way you may think some will take it. I have had a few of those. I'm not trying to bash you at all over this.
I every time there are a lot of people breeding Yorkies for the wrong motives and it must anger those who have dedicated a lifetime to responsible breeding. But please don't assume everyone is like that.
I didn't read on here that anyone was assuming that you were breeding for the wrong motives. I was just giving you my story of how I am and did start out. We are all suprised and happy that you are doing your research before and after you got your little one.
For those of you that have spent years with Yorkies... Don't you want to encourage proper responsible breeding and showing? So many breeders make it so hard to talk to them that it's no wonder people BY breed. My biggest opposition has been people who put me down because I'm new to this even though I want to better the breed... I may have a lot to learn but my heart is in the right place and I want to be careful and thoughtful with my Yorkies.
