Hi Everyone!
I've been browsing around yorkietalk for a little over a year now, and I honestly can say I just feel like I cannot soak up enough information.

I have always loved animals. In fact, I have a little over a year left before I start Veterinary School. Apart from veterinary medicine, I am also very interested in working with, training, showing, and breeding dogs. Before red flags go up, let me say that I am NO WHERE near ready to begin this journey. I have read several books, websites, and a lot of information on here, but I still feel like I have more to learn and experience. I'm not even sure the yorkshire terrier breed is the breed I'd choose, but from what I've read and researched a lot of you are very reputable breeders. So I'm wondering if any of you have any advice. I know a lot of you recommend getting a mentor. How do I go about doing this? I want to breed because yes, I love dogs and I enjoy working with them, and I'd honestly like to better the breed (whichever breed I choose to work with). I also would not go into this lightly, and I definitely don't want to do it to make a buck. So if any of you can offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
