i just wanted to say that BAMA had it right. no one is bashing you, we're educating you. you just don't want to hear it. if you've only bred one dog ONE time that's NOT experience. if you've read every stinkin' book on the planet about breeding that's NOT enough experience....a vet doesn't go into a surgery after reading 100 books about doing it...they work with another vet and watch and learn and then start to do it themselves alongside another vet until they really really get it....

research is one thing...experience is another. if you wanted to breed that's fine, but you should have mentored under a very experienced and "reputable" breeder that's done this for many years with the right ethics and perfection. and your reasons for breeding are all wrong. it isn't just because you want a pup from ur bitch and it isn't just because you wanted another puppy at all. it's for the betterment and future security of the Yorkie breed. to help establish perfection in your bloodlines and create as close to perfect dogs as you can. AKC or not, it's about perfection NOT about wanting another puppy. look at a shelter or yorkie rescue and go open their freezer door to the rotting smell of hundreds of dogs that are put down daily, weekly, or monthly because someone like you tried to breed puppies and couldn't sell them and they went to a shelter. if you wanted a puppy go find one in a shelter. don't risk ur dog's life on a ONE TIME experience with breeding for a new puppy. that's selfish, foolish, and uneducated and nothing you say on here and no amount of defensiveness will make any of the veteran members feel better about you or your situation. understood?

furthermore, as a receptionist at a vet's office i have to check the said "freezer" daily and i can tell you that though some are old dogs that's time had come, a lot of the dogs laying in trash bags in that freezer are the unfortunate cases of a breeding gone wrong or a dog from the local shelter that was labeled as "unadoptable" let that sink in a bit. bodies of dogs that no one wants. it hurts and it's awful, but that's the reality and the weight a person carries when they make irresponsible choices with dog's lives.
