I love the forums as they keep us updated and thanks for being there for us on many matters. On a topic you have addressed I wanted to say that there seems to be several "yorkie rescuers" out there wanting money to fund their individual desire to "breed" yorkies. I once did breed 3 females twice each with excellent males and had nice puppies and interviewed prospective homes. I did not do it for money because the cost outweighed
the potential profit. I stopped breeding because I found very few people put the effort into care that I expected. Additionally, I met so many people along the way complaining to vets that their 11 or 12 year old was beginning to have problems so they were considering have them put down as if they were a mechanical device! That stopped me in my tracks. I then "fixed" my six yorkies and ended up rescuing a family of 3 yorkies that were ill. I lost one of the males last year but got him to almost 2 years old. It never occurred to me to beg others for funds. I now have 8 yorkies and that is very challenging but I love them everyone, keep vaccinations, yearly check ups, and flea/worm intervention on all. They roam freely & are fixed. Two of them r over 13 & I can not imagine life without them. How does one believe taking on a few extras and breeding to be a reason to beg for funding. Thanks for keeping up about the woman on FB.
