You don't have to delete the thread, but a mentor is someone who trains you to become a breeder. There aren't schools you can go to, you have to be an apprentice to someone to learn. If you want to ask questions, you can do that on a thread. Personally, I wouldn’t take the advice of just any breeder here. Some think because they have successfully whelped a litter, they are experts. The good thing about a question on a thread, is if someone’s answer is incorrect or dangerous, someone else will come along and clear it up. You’d be surprised how much this happens. If you literally have hundreds of questions, maybe you could ask for suggestion of books you could read. If you really don't have hours and hours of time to learn all you need to know, I would suggest that you put aside breeding until you do have more time.
