As a professional photographer I do see your point...it's like someone asking me how to take a great portrait with a point-n-shoot camera. Regardless of the skill level, when a person asks for my advice within my profession, my response is always helpful and in a non-condescending delivery. Just remember, owning three or more Yorkies, and having 9,504 posts on a public forum doesn't necessarily qualify you as an expert...about anything! |
Maybe your intent was not to come here and start a "flaming BS session" but your initial post did make it sound as though you were ready to start breeding. At least that was my impression with the statement about your cousin's dog being in heat. It was like, we're ready to go, except for a couple of questions here. I'm sure you understand with a forum of yorkie lovers, inexperienced breeders and the way they approach breeding can be a controversial subject here.
I do take offense at the phrase "hoarding in on your profits". Some of us care only about the dogs well being, have never made a dime off a dog, and would still give you the same advice that Misty did.
Sharing photography tips willingly is very generous of you. Giving advice in your profession though doesn't involve the life and death of dogs. With the number of dogs euthanized anymore because of over-breeding, people need to really think with their heart, before becoming a breeder. If there are too many photographers competing for jobs, you'll find another job. Sadly, dogs don't get that second chance (job) too often.
