Both have been mentored by top long time exhibitor/breeders here and in Canada and have championed numerous Yorkies. You come on with what seems to be an accusing air, no one knowing who you are and after this, probably not caring! Where your dogs come from is of no concern to anyone as long as they are healthy and excellent representatives of the breed. If you are new to the show ring, I would highly suggest you sit back and take a breather...This is not the way to gain favor or make friends in the show world. One should be grateful there are exhibitors like these ladies that are willing to befriend and help.

Wow - Thank You Mary Ann!!! I've just been reading this off and on while cleaning and I must say that I was getting a little unnerved by the "tone" this person was taking.

I have European Lines myself. That seems to be a real thorn in your side. Seems the breeders here take it as disrespect when they find you are trying to get in the breed and you have bought from European Breeders, kinda like a buy american boycott type of attitude you find.
But I love the dogs and I have meet the breeders in person and went over my dogs before i got them. Not sight unseen.
I do plan to CH them and they will be health tested before i spend the money showing them. Then and only then will they be bred. but as far as finding a mentor here, that will depend on if someone is open to the fact that I have imported mine and i am not looking to buy their lines.

No, I don't think coming on here without introducing yourself and giving some sort of insight as to why you're asking some personal questions is being misunderstood. You were offensive and rude! You were demanding and judgemental! You were disrespectful! These ladies have been on this forum for years and for you to come on here and question them about how long they've been newbies or experts.... You're the one with the ATTITUDE!

And the reason you can't find out too much about some of their lines is because they don't need to advertise it on the internet! If you really did some researching you would be able to figure out a few things.

I don't know why you have an issue with your dogs being from Europe. I have never heard anyone say anything negative on here about Eur/Mex/Can lines. They have beautiful lines.
