| Learn from the Bottom up. Most just jump into breeding without really knowing about the Breed. These are people who obviously are money driven. It takes years of learning and loving this breed. Good Luck to you. Lissette |

| Your mentor is your guide. They teach you so much. From what classes to take, down to how to correctly trim feet and ears.

| If you want to learn any trade and do a job that is well done - you have a mentor/professor guiding you. I would not want my doctor to practice on me without having been with his/her mentor to see how they are doing and whether they are ready or not. My mentors were priceless to me for what they taught me. I could never repay them back. They helped me because of their love for the breed and they knew I was genuine about my intents. Therefore my first breeding was done with my female that was evaluated to a champion in which my mentor thought would be an excellent match. No reason why others could not do what I did - I went to find my mentor and learn all I could before my match was made. And I was only 20 years old. If I could do it, others should too. So sad today that so many are just breeding on their own and not really doing their best; not having their dogs evaulated by experts in the fields and no testing. A vet is not one to evalutate the standard quality of the dog, unless they too show yorkies and know this breed standard well. I think our breed is going to have a lot of trouble soon (more than what we have now), due to so many people breeding and not having a clue. Last edited by topknot; 08-08-2010 at 05:54 AM. |

I really don't understand this mentality. Since breeding didn't cross my mind until my mentor told me I was ready for the next step. I looked at her with a blank look on my face and asked ready for what?
