This IS a public post, I agree! However my post was for people who would graciously give me MORE information than what I already know! Sophie is not a small animal, she comes from a pedigree that has very healthy pups and a mother who had NO PROBLEMS whelping. You wouldn't know this because you and others are insinuate that anybody who is not a "professional breeder" is a sub-standard person who doesn't care about their dog!
The FAQS section very openly states (this is paraphrased) that if you cannot post a response that helps the person who posted questions, then do not post. Let someone else post who IS trying to be helpful post!
I may be new in the sense of being a member here, but I am NOT new to the world of animal care. I believe that most of you in the breeder's section who have posted here have superiority complexes and no one will ever be good enough, ever...Keep in mind that EVERYONE started somewhere, whether a casual breeder or professional show dog breeder.
I am NOT looking for fluffy, sparkly answers...I am looking for helpful and relevant information regarding MY ORIGINAL POST, of which most have NOT provided.
I have much information, I have a mentor, I have a list of whelping supplies, I have tests, I have researched "worse case scenarios", I have researched the breed and history of the breed, I have a trustworthy vet! WHAT MORE DOES ANYONE WANT FROM ME!! You all want me to cry and beat myself up for being a "newbie"???? Forget it, that's not gonna happen! If you do not want to give me personal experiences and such, then quit posting replies! You're "help" is unwanted...most of you have poisoned this thread. Shame on you!
Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back if your intentions were to be unhelpful and without any support whatsoever. Regardless of your opinions and "strong feelings" against breeding a healthy, larger Yorkie who is non-standard, then continue breeding your way, but do not stomp on others who are responsible, but have NO DESIRE to breed to your standards or show dog standards! There are many above standard and qualified people who want a Yorkie, but do not want a "show dog". They want a beautiful and loving pet to join their family and to love them as long as they're alive. I will not be responding to anyone else's ignorant opinions, for that matter I will not be responding to this thread any further. Go celebrate amongst yourselves and I hope one day that you will have an understanding of real people.
Anyone who is actually willing to help as I have requested, feel free to PM me.
Otherwise, move on.
