Monica~ I think Gus is one of the cutest looking yorkies on YT!! I love his look ...I know, I know, they are ALL adorable, lol, but certain ones just get me and he is one!!!!
Nicole~ I can tell that you are doing your research just from this thread alone and you got a baby to cherish and maybe you will get another one day and it may be different, but you will love them the same just as we do our children. They are all different and unique and have different things to offer.
Bamafan~ This is not a challenge and I ask with the utmost respect and with no intention of offending, but I hope you will understand our request to share with us your experience as a yorkie breeder (how many years, litters, breeding dogs, etc) and what your motivation for breeding is?
In fact, I agree with Irene that it would be nice to have a registry of sorts for the members here who are breeders where they give their stats and their breeding philosophies. I think it is important when one holds oneself out to be an expert on a subject for those who read the opinions of the experts to know the backgrounds and experience of those experts.
I mean I would tend to accept the advice and opinions of a breeder with 20 or 30 years of experience breeding yorkies over a different opinion of one who had only been breeding for 4 or 5 years for example. It only makes sense. On the other hand, I would also give more weight to the opinions of a new breeder who used a reproductive specialist in her program and kept her dogs in her home as opposed to in crates or cages, etc. over a show breeder with 15 years experience with dogs in crates in another building who are not family members but show pieces not allowed to be real dogs...if you know what I am saying. |
