DsKeeter - Don't take people's opinions personally. Most of us don't even know other posters personally. We are just reacting to their ideas and the words they post.

I think you are a loving young person and are doing a great job taking good care of your pets.

As far as papers go - I could get my pup registered, but am choosing not to waste the money as he is only a pet and will be neutered soon. (I do, however, appreciate his parents being registered - and my having the right to register him if I want to). If I intended to breed my pup - I would definitely register him. I think that dogs that are breed should be registered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTING YOU --- I would breed her with another yorkie in two years or more but that would be an expeirence for me and my kids nothing more . . . "
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that most of us would disagree with your thinking here. Breeding for the "experience for yourself and your kids" is, for most of us, the worst reason in the world to breed a little dog. Putting a little mother dog through this often painful or even life-threatening experience for herself or her puppies can't be justified for this reason.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTING YOU AGAIN --- ". . . and i would not sell them i would probly give them away to people i know that are less fortunate then others."
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a wonderful, generous, idea - but in all reality, not feasible at all. Breeding and raising a healthy litter of little pups should, if you do all that you should do, cost you a good amount of money....as much as several hundreds of dollars per pup - or more, if your mother or pups have any problems.

Few of us could afford to do this without (at least) being partially reimbursed for most of our expenses.

------

Please don't take any my remarks personally - I am only stating my opinion. I think you are a great person - with a better than average heart. There is no doubt about that! I always enjoy your posts and enjoy the stories you share with us.

I think it's important that we all feel free to agree or disagree with one another. And - don't think for a minute that I have never had a lot of people totally disagree with me. This has happened several times, and, I am happy to admit that often I have learned or altered my own thinking because of it.
