As I said before,I had no idea that breeding and showing had to go together in order to be something good
Jessies breeder is Ladys breeders sister and although she doesnt show,she is proving to be a great responsable breeder.I am intouch with Ladys breeder and Jessies too and they both e-mail me asking for pictures,news,health updates..etc etc,I couldent be more happy with them both.I am going to breed Jess in the summer and Ladys breeder is my mentor,and one of her males is also going to be the father of Jessies babies..so even though they are so called "hobby breeders" and dont show (although Ladys breeder did years ago) I consider them wonderful people who love and care for their babies and are there for the owners of their pups ALWAYS.
I have come across show breeders in other forums and to be honest they werent very nice,neither were they helpful or understanding towards other yorkie owners.Infact,all they seemed to do was pounce on those that mentioned wanting to start breeding,especially if their yorkie was a little on the large side,with the "wrong" hair type or god forbid had floppy ears..etc,just because all these nasty things would be passed on to the pups and the breed would be degraded and not improved.I think its great that hobby breeders exist because thanks to them nearly all of us have our babies that may not reach the standard exactly,but to us are perfect
I actually preffer hobby breeders
