Hello all!

I have never been here before so its my first post. I feel very sad that some of you are so judgemental of me without personally knowing me and my family. I have even read a post suggesting I get a normal job? Well for those of you who dont know, my husband has a stroke and he is 75% blind. So for me to work outside the home would mean hiring a babysitter full time for him. With the 5 kids around then its quite impossible. And now, my husband is now loving to take care of them with me as we now share a lot of the work together.

I have read a post about the Yorkshire Terrier being crossed before for a specific purpose. In fact, the Yorkshire Terrier was originally bred to kill rats and vermine on ships and mines. It was not the same size as it is today. Later on, the ladies wanted a little lap dog so they crossed the Yorkie with a maltese. This is why now when you have a yorkie puppy you can see some with white markings on them. To say it was bred for a specific purpose, I dont think size fits into this category.

As for dying the maltese hair. If you can read you will be able to see that these dogs were not hurt in any way. In fact, we used a special dye made for dogs which I order from a groomer. In my opinion I think its funky and nice but why am I being fingerpointed for doing it. If you dont like it thats fine but dont bring me down because of it.

You see, I have not read all of the postings as they are quite long. But I applaud some of you for your nice comments on not judging me before really knowing.

I also resent the fact that this Elizabeth Ensor sent me a private email with my private response and posted this on this bb. I wish she would have invited me first to come here and have a debate of some kind instead of going behind my back. I really have nothing to hide but would have liked the fact to be notified or asked before posting this on this bb.

You see , I dont know what is wrong with people having something against a breeder that breeds for the love of dogs and to make money as well. I love my dogs so why is it so bad? Contrary to some show breeders who subsidize their show rings with the selling of their dogs in return for recognition and/or prestige. What is the difference ? Who am I to judge what is the right thing to do?

I am an honest breeder who is trying to survive and I would NEVER NEVER hurt my dogs in any way. As for the morkies, well I breed them because of the demand. The first 4 who were kind of accidental in nature are now the results of numerous enquiries and demands. So now they are not bred accidentally. I find them absolutely adorable, extremely smart and affectionate.

All I can say now is how sad I feel reading some of the posts which are truly hurting to me. I doubt that you will find any of my puppies in a shelter. I would take back any of my dogs at any time.

Hope that some of you find it in your heart to see that I am not as bad as depicted. I do it for the love of dogs and to survive.

I resent being fingerpointed by this lady to later find my post on this bb. I would like to thank the lady who emailed me privately to let me know what was going on. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but to make their opinions and criticize someone specifically without their knowledge is low. We call this a backstabber.

What kind of person would email you personally, await your response to later post all of this on this bb? I think you all have the answer to that. Hope it never happens to you.

Wishing you all the best!
