I just believe there are nicer ways to educatre a person than to belittle them for asking a question, using a term they have heard and read over and over again.

I had no idea that the word "teacup" was a NO NO I took it the same as the terms baby face or doll face. I assumed it was just a term used to indicate it's small size.

And to me 3 1/2 lbs. qualifies a teacup! So what if my terminology isn't up to your standards. How snooty are you guys anyways? I thought this was a forum for those who love their Yorkies!? Not a forum full of yuppies! Anyway Daisy looks like she would like to have some company cause lily is much older, so I thought she might like to have some pups. This is the reason why I asked my simple initial question..... Does anyone know of a breeder here in southern California? Daisy does have all of her papers so of course a stud withpapers and healthy would be the only choice. So help or don't help, but don't mock my intensions! I care a great deal for my babies and just cause I'm not too keen on your terminology and breeding techniques doesn't mean that I don't take proper care of my girls! :mad: :thumbdown :mad: :thumbdown :mad: :thumbdown

Most don't know the danger of breeding, but if they are brave enough to stay after they got black eyes, and their a$$es kicked, from some of you all, they decide to have them spayed instead.

Its sad some jump on new people like this immediately, before really giving them the time to change their minds.

Every one of you breeders started somewhere. Why not help educate folks, instead of beating the krap out of them. They may finally decide breeding isn't for them after all.

I know it takes someone special to be a damn good breeder! I know they weren't "born" with this ability. You all learned from someone, somewhere.

No sense in replying to this post to throw a punch at me, cause I won't be back in this section to read it.....seen too many people beat up and run off, before they can even decide if they want to breed after looking at the "pro's and cons" of breeding.

Then they breed anyway, not knowing chit, and sell pups that "aren't standard".

IMO It's like belittleing someone for no knowing how to play a musical instrument.

Theres some that dont know how to help people with out being rude.I would say try and learning every thing you can on breeding before you start. Once you did that then Id say Good Luck.
some of the people on here will be rude and turn around and breed their dog.....and I wonder where they got their small Yorkies? ..makes you think.
Good luck in waht ever you decide to do.
People Grow up gees.............The lol this and LOL that is so childish on a thread where someone is asking a question. If they dont ask how are they going to learn?:thumbdown

There are alot of un-educated new people in EVERY breed. The "breeders" on the forum should have a little more compassion for the new folks...because our breed's preservence lies in their hands if they are determined to become a breeder whether we like it or not. Why not lend a hand instead of ridiculing all the time. I for one try my best to help out new people all the time on the education of this breed. But in all honesty I do it in PM's and emails rather than have them put through the ringer over and over publicly. I'm all for education...and have a strong understanding that if I want to continue on in the world of yorkies to the best of my ability I MUST help those when I see a true need, if not it's doing NOTHING to help the breed in the end. Being a smart elic to a new person really gets no where and does nothing for our breed when all is said and done.
