LEARN HUMILITY, SON!!. IT WILL SERVE YOU WELL IN LIFE!!!... If nothing else, you MUST learn NOT to be a pompous bas*#@d!!"
That came from a world reknown cardiovascular surgeon.....and there are MANY people that can indeed learn from those words! Unfortunately, the people that need to hear these words and take them to heart, will not hear them as valuable or applicable to THEM!!!

VERY wise words indeed. I will do my level best to always remember them and to take them to heart. You never stop learning, that is so true! Thanks for sharing that, it is very meaningful to me

However, I don't believe that by doing that addresses the countless opinions and facts given that were from other forum members that were not helpful to me and I had made that known more than once that the information was NOT what I have been asking for in regards to my Yorkie.

The definition of helpful is "giving or ready to give help", synonymous with beneficial. I recognized everyone who was helpful to my OP. If this is a forum who declares that anyone has the right to post what they feel is important, then I also have that same right. I was asking for HELP, not selective off topic criticism nor passionate opinions opposite of my questions. Helpful criticism that is relevant to my question(s) were very welcomed, but intellectual Yorkie scholars who (because that is their right and passion to do so) felt compelled to give and continue to give their facts and opinions that were, to put it mildly, "less than helpful". I am not the only one that these forum members have done this to, which is why I had made that inclusion in my OP about being somewhat reserved to starting a new thread (paraphrased). These other members did to me what they have done to many others and from what I've gathered is that YT has been gaining a less than stellar reputation on its treatment of other members that may not be so schooled, such as those who have spent years and years and thousands and thousands of dollars that they have sacrificed to making the breed better....They started "somewhere".

I really do appreciate you being somewhat neutral on this thread, but if I'm the underdog here and my posts were the easy ones to separate from its context to "help" others down the road, then so be it.

Item number one of "New Users Please Read & YorkieTalk Guidelines", located in FAQS states:
"1. Please be civil and do not personally attack anyone or their opinions. If you disagree with their approach or method, feel free to reply, but do it in a civil way. Or you can choose to ignore their post altogether."

You stated above that no one can dictate who replies and who doesn't, then why does it state "you can choose to ignore their post altogether"? That tells me that the person reading posts can dictate their own choice to not reply. I do realize that this applies to me as well. My reason for responding was to continually insist the ongoing nature of my OP and to try to deter those members who felt so strongly a need to reply and cause my OP to become littered with answers/opinions/passionate beliefs/drama that did not help me (or anyone else that may have the same or similar question).

If the worst thing I did here was to symbolically portray other members "as vultures" regarding how they give their help/answers/opinions/passionate beliefs towards my OP, then I am at fault and truly ask for forgiveness. However, it seems a bit inequitable to use the one thing that I said to portray their behavior in how their answers were given/delivery of content and not address ALL of those members whose answers did not apply or were not relevant or helpful to my OP.

Wylie's Mom, I do sincerely thank you for all the time you spent to help moderate this thread.

I never say I am a scholar or anything like that but I do know if your not bettering the breed then you should not breed. More then just you read this post and my hope is someone doing research on breeding will see this thread and see what is not ok to do and what is. You say everyone has to start somewhere and yes they do but they try to start as right as possible which is with standard yorkies, testing done and so on and you didn't do that so I don't feel you can use that argument. You don't breed to make money, you don't breed to give you dog the mothering experience that they wouldn't even miss, you breed to better the breed and by breeding non standard yorkies you are not doing that.

I hate seeing all the dogs in the pounds and I do and have adopted from the pound. I also believe that not everyone that breeds there yorkies do it to destroy the breed. I to feel very strong about spaying and neutering. Yes I have bred and yes I am a responsible person (I feel I am). This person is asking for help the dog is bred and going to have puppies. So I feel we help the dog have the easiest time and the op to have the best advice to know when something is going right or wrong. Bottom line is we all want everyone's yorkies to be okay. No matter if they weigh 2lbs or 30lbs. We love them all and just wanted them all to live long happy lives. Unfortunately this does not always happen.

You thumb upped a post that was saying that when breeding dogs that are not show dogs that they don't need to be standard. It had nothing to do with what you stated above. The dog has been bred and everything but she still can learn from her mistakes as well as many other people who read this. What is so bothersome to me is that she feels she made no mistakes.

I owned a salon for 25 years and I saw this attitude a lot. People would come to work for me right out of school all eager to learn but had the I already know more than you attitude from the very beginning. They would ask me questions about the business and be shown but never apply what they were being taught. Needless to say they didn't last 2 years in the business. I think this applies to lots of people in all areas of life including breeding. Yes we all want the mom and puppy's to be healthy but we also want the breed to be bettered. If you ask for advice and really want to learn this is a great place to start.
