I like everyone else has worked very hard for what I have and continue to strive to have..
But Kathy is exactly right.. I have over $4,500.00 in my Lupae alone! Would I just hand anyone a puppy from him for breeding purposes, the answer is NO! I feel that he is my gold at the end of the rainbow, my hopes and dreams! It is very hard to get your hands on excellent quality yorkies, but if you are determined and on the up and up with everyone you contact someone might just want to help you and mentor you!
What I have also learnt is it is very hard to get someone to help you and be that mentor that YOU and I need! I would love nothing more than to have a mentor and someone to share my hardwork with, but I have learnt in the show world there is to much jealousy and I never know when someone truly wants to help me or the complete opposite!
I wish you Good-Luck in your search for the perfect male and if you are being truly honest one day someone will see that and help you!
And if you were not referring to me Kathy, I apologize for mentioning that..

There are a lot of good people out there don't be afraid to take a chance. Don't worry about your ego or those of others. There are always those who think that they are better then you- just ignore it and keep a trucking. When you do make progress in your breeding program always remember to not be rude to others. There is always a way to be polite and kind to others.
Take it as a compliment that someone liked your dogs and inquired about them. I am tickled pink when someone contacts me- shows that I am on the right tract.
Here is my laugh for you- the person that I spoke of in the last post who was unkind to me would email me websites of folks who had my Ladylair bloodline that I wanted to recapture. The websites were clearly puppy mills. How insulting to do this to me. Very-but I chose to ignore it and did not confront the person. I thought about contacting the breeder who had bred thier dogs but decided it was not worth the effort and time. Went and found a breeder who has the line closer and was a friend of Sandy Lemire who used the line in her breeding program.
Be strong- be willing to learn- don't worry about those know it all's that you will meet- ignore those who have not done well and do not wish you to well beacuse of thier poor choices. Will you get hit on the head- sure will- get up and learn from your mistakes- try and help someone else so that they don't make the same ones. Above all enjoy the experience and the pleasure that you will have from the dogs and friends that you will make. Don't be afraid to take a chance.
