I have just read this whole thread and I am very sorry to hear about everything that you have gone through! I feel so bad for all the puppies and Stella and Marnie too!

I agree with all the advice that you have been given about breeding and your current situation, but don't take offense to this. If you are on the right side of breeding, you will understand why you are getting the comments you do. I haven't read the other thread and I don't know everything that has been said to you, but in this thread the people have been very caring and supportive.

If you have learned from the situation that's wonderful, but if you aren't going to take steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again, it doesn't mean anything. If a person knows the truth and they chose to ignore it, they are ignorant and I'm sure you aren't.

If you really want to breed, buy the books, get a good mentor, get the show dogs (breeding quality) and do it properly. Do it to improve the breed and to leave an outstanding line of Yorkshire Terriers. Otherwise it's not worth it for all the money in the world.
