I think its hard when you are on a computer to express yourself.
Some things are taken the wrong way because you dont know what 'tone' the poster is using or whatever.
I think this is what has happend here (in other replies), I honestly dont think the other members were critisizing you, I think there answer was just taken the wrong way
I have just gotten my yorky pup, she will be 8 weeks on Thursday.
I got her from a friend who owns 3 yorkies and one had pup's so I guess you could say he was a back yard breeder because he dosn't really class hiself as a breeder in the way some other people who have websites and everything do ( if you know what I mean
)
My Poppy is completley healthy (just a bit young) but he dosnt have the knowlege that some more experienced breeders have, which is why in future I would get a pup from a proper breeder because they would be able to help out first time owners a lot better
I havnt been on this site long but in the time I have been here I have learned a lot from more experienced owners and breeders.
So please dont let this one experience put you off this site because it really is a fountain or knowlege and I couldnt have raised my pup the way I am without it
Congratulations on your new pup by the way he is gorgeous
