I disagree with your assessment of Yorkie Talk (see Wylie's Mom's post).
Breeding living beings that are under our care is not a warm and fuzzy topic. That is the point many people are trying to make.
It isn't a matter of thinking only a privileged few should be allowed to do it.

The answer to the question is to find a mentor. The mentor(s) teach all of this. Mentors can be found through dog shows or social networking. Yes, it is difficult, and yes, most people will be discouraged. It's like any undertaking in life.
The moderators can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Yorkie Talk allows advertising for stud services or offers a "how to" guide to breeding. People offer help, but this help should not be considered all that is needed to mitigate the risk of breeding.
