[mmyorkies]

One other thing you need to remember is, the only stupid question, is the one not asked. If you are going to be intimidated by some of the replies, you just have to put your flaming suit on and stand tall. You will always get replies you don't want to hear, but if you are willing to get through them, you will also get replies from those that understand where you are coming from. I was very much like what you are describing when I got my first yorkies and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to start showing yorkies, and it is just as hard to get into the show scene as it is to breed them. With determination and not letting the negative replies get me down, I finally got there. Eventually I even decided to breed for my own show line. You have to be able to stand up to the negative and learn even from them.
