Starting with a healthy good quality foundation for breeding!

[Suncera]

My last post was quite lengthy and didn't post so I will make this brief. We had three mini schnauzers that I regimes to friends and family. We have had several Shih Tzu's that were rehomed to family and friends one of which we still have and spayed, she resides in our second home office. Yorkie poos, poodle, and two of the Yorkies on
My site are not mine advertising and sold for a friend, maltese is being rehomed, all of these were CKC other than Shih Tzu, CKC yorkie is possibly a present to family. Current poodle is being spayed. AKC Yorkies female looking to rehome, male yorkie keeping to breed when I'm ready, Sasha and blue ivy being spayed. Our American Bullies are my husbands show dogs in which he handles. Again he has told me that we are well off and respectful people that I need to explain our lives and business with no one, but I'm different, I care for others feelings and opinions. If you want to talk to me like Kendre did you can, my number is on my website. Also some of my last post can be read as well. Friends are always good to have. It's not right to have enemies!!!

I really do believe Suncera has learned a great deal and is REALLY trying to make changes. She is open to our opinions and I believe is taking them all in and truly thinking about each and every one of them. I am very proud of her and the changes she has already made. I feel she is also going to do the very best she can for "Blue Ivy" too. So, Suncera...I'm proud of you!

Knowledge is good to possess and put to work for you. You cannot undo the past, in this case for certain, but you are not doomed to repeat it either! Congratulations on everything you have done so far to make your breeding ambitions meet the needs of the pups you hope to bring into existence. I hope everything works out well for Blue Ivy, too...it certainly sounds like you recognize that it could be a 'trying' experience caring for her. {{{Hugs}}}

I dont mean my poat offensively. I always am about the reaolution more than the problem or issue ...ans am self admittedly nosey.

Again no offense but I come from just to my perapective I have 3 dogs and 3baby kids Id love more of each but even with a lot of people on here that have manu yorkie pets I wonder how thwu have time for each of them, and let alone the cost, then again all of mine have issues requiring meds special ddiets and are spoiled.

In some ways once you post here you are opening up to being judged. So in all fairness my post was allowing for that. The last breeder in a similar situation as you just sold her dogs to other breeders to be bred...it seemed so wrong considering she knew they should become just pets and put the choice of altering or continuing to breed them on the buyers.

Thats really wonderful that both you and your husband share the passion for showing.

If you are approaching breeders to just buy a couple of puppies telling them you want to show, they will turn you down flat.
IF you are lucky, you may find a breeder willing to CO own one with you usually a male. You can start there and it will give you something to show. YOu also will not be getting a 3 months old if the breeder is reputable. A puppy can be potential at 3 or 4 months but a show dog is not easily determined until at least 7 or 8 months old and then it can still go 'off'.
For showing, you have to learn grooming the show Yorkie, handlng the show yorkie in the ring if you want to show it yourself.
Many many approach show breeders, say they want to show and want to buy a puppy for that purpose to eventually breed. What has happened most of the time is puppy is raised, bred over and over, puppies sold as 'champion lines' and the dog has never seen the show rings and buyer never shows up at a dog show again if they managed to gettheir hands on a puppy.
There is not much a show breeder hasn't experienced or heard before, what catches their attention more is what you do and what you are willing to agree to in their terms for a show dog.

Sounds like some solid information, I have nothing to add but wanted to see what kind of feedback you received on this completely out of curiosity. My dogs are strictly pets for me to love and care for to the best of my ability.

I didn't know this, well I wouldn't know this, what reasons do they give Yorkie1mom?

I haven't seen any comment especially from the OP about what is required from a reputable show breeder to ever hope to get a dog from someone on open papers to show.
The show world is worldwide. But it is also very small. Now with computers it is very easy to check out a prospective buyer wanting a show dog or a pet. It doesn't matter if the person is involved somewhere int he dog world, even showing a different breed. they will still be checked out by someone reputable before they will agree to mentor or work with someone new to the Yorkie.

Inherant risks of the profession! Yorkies are notoriously difficult breeders, fraught with difficult whelps...nothing an insurance company wants to be responsible for.

Thanks guys, blue ivy has all of my attention towards her and three insurance companies have said that they can not insure her, I guess me telling them the situation I am inow dealing with. I still have along ways to go and I am willing to do what is required. My husband says to just hire and pay a handler to show for me, and might consider when that times comes. But right now I'm going to spoil and love the pets that I have and care for Blue Ivy, time to shop for more clothes and bows. I blushed today because my Daughter graduated the 9th grade with honors and when she walked across the stage when I called her name, Bandit started to bark ass well with his werf werf little bark. So of course all attention fell on him at the end of the ceremony. They want him to come back for tonight's pep rally. So headed to find school colors for him.

The handlers we know and the two mentors that I know, know that I am not ready educationally, financially yes, grooming almost, but they feel I need more and have a good ways to go. I've had offers of buying as a pet and even co. But I myself have a lot more to learn, oh how I won't to jump right in, but know it doesn't work like that. Every day I learn something different. Everyone tells me to just go in with your husband and show your American bullies, but I feel that's manly stuff, it's a bunch of men, some women and half naked girls that be at the shows, I still enjoy all the beautiful bullies, but not for me. I can and will be patient.

There isn't one reputable show I've ever seen with a half naked female unless she was a bitch-literally.

What shows is he participating in-I have a friend who was once very involved with the showing of bully dogs until he turned his efforts into rehabbing and specific training for pit due to the negative image they have-and over breeding.

Maybe we are somewhat connected through that circle?

The naked is a figure of speech, they are models very pretty girls that models with the dogs. The are American Stafford Terriers, which the call is American bullies. So no they aren't literally naked, very professional group of ladies and sponsors.

I looked at your site and you have BEAUTIFUL dogs
