I like you when I first got my yorkie thought it would be wonderful to have puppies but thank goodness I found YT before I jumped headlong into breeding. I pray that you have an easy whelping and that your babies do great and that you find wonderful homes for them. I really think one of the reasons people are so passionate is because if we continue to breed off standard dogs then before long our precious yorkies will not be yorkies anymore. Oh they may say yorkie on a dna test but they will fail to resemble the dogs we have all grown to love. Also you should consider the frustration that the breeders who strive to improve the breed must feel when they read posts such as yours. They are so helpful here on YT even when they disagree with what has already become a fact (that 2 off standards are going to already have a litter) they still will give good advice and try to help the owners in every way they can to save the mommy and litter. After all if you buy a book or go to classes they will not handle anyone with kid gloves and will give the same stern advice that you recieved here you just don't take it personally because it is printed for the masses. Good luck with your litter and God Bless  . |
Hi nanahas3! Thank you for your post!
I honestly understand the standpoint and intensity of the other members. My philosophy is if what you say doesn't edify another, then I try at all costs to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself. It is a matter of discipline and self-control...I am not perfect either.
Thank you so much for your support! I really don't foresee Sophie being high risk during labor/delivery, but I can say I am getting totally prepared for all case scenarios!
God bless you too, my friend!
