DianeSch- I am not a breeder, nor (to my embarrassment now) did I get my pup from a reputable breeder (pup was free from a friend). When I read your 1st post, like others I got the impression you were breeding the tiny. I'm glad I was mistaken. IMO, you are doing your homework and it sounds like you have a mentor that can help with the whelping. I understand (NOW) that breeders are in it to better the breed, not make $, and it sounds like you already understand that concept from breeding the shepards. Good luck and I hope that all goes well. Please keep us updated. Everyone on this site is all about the dogs, so I'm glad to see you didn't take anything said personally. Everyone on this site wants to better the breed and sometimes they-we-can be quite blunt in our opinions. It sounds like you are doing it right, to me. We love photos and hearing about each others trials, tribulations and joys of yorkie ownership (indebted servitude?-us to them, not the other way around). Keep us informed in the progress of the pregnancy. I am interested in how it goes for you, 1st time time little dog whelping.
