i have been quietly following this, but feel that somethings need to be brought to everyones attention (including your own Tammy).
there is so much that i dont agree with you on Tammy. you were more than unnessesarily rude to many YTers and IMO that alone shouldnt be justifiable. the question was answered, although not the way you wanted it to be worded, so you then got on the defensive- as many before you have- but if you enjoy this site enough to still be posting on it then you will have to learn to apologise when you offend and accept critism, advise and information when it is given in a factual substanciated form- and i have never seen anything less from the members that you are arguing with (in particular Mary).
also, yes, we are all human and deserve to be treated as such, but some people do have more knowlege than others and therefore deserve more respect. i know that i have countless superiors on this site and would never argue otherwise- afterall, i'm only 19 and many of the respected members have owned/bred/showed dogs for longer than i have been alive, so of course i am going to look up to them on the subject of dogs in general, never mind their own specailised areas of expertise; and some day i hope that i will be the same to less experienced/younger yorkie lovers who decide to take the ethical route of breeding- but that is MANY decades down the line.
so as i say, i have many superiors here, but i am superior to many dog owners i have come across- people who simply stick two dogs together and hope for the best with the puppies health & temperment etc, people who let their yorkie have puppies on their own or outside, people who breed 'teacups' to sell for top$ no matter what the real cost, people who kick a dog out onto the street to fend for herself only to end up starving and pregnant in a pound (kill shelter) that is so filled to capacity the staff are wary of mentioning her pregnancy in the risk of her not being adopted by her 5th day (btw, Callie and babies are doing wonderfully if anyone remembers that thread in the breeders section)... that doesn't make me a snob, just honest and observant.
Tammy, you say you don't care what people here think, then why are you still arguing and defending yourself if no ones approval here matters?
i think its time for me to rest my case, and OP, go with your gut on that woman, there has been so much helpful info posted for you to help with your search for a puppy (whether via breeder or shelter)... i wish you the best in your search!
