first of all. all of us started some where when we got started but the more i think about this maybe it would be better for you to start out with older dogs that are ready for people to retire that are already nuetered or spayed and you could treach these woman groom and so forth or maybe speak to some rescue people that have rescued yorkies that have issues and these woman that have had issue may beable to help those yorkies because they would understand them this would be a much better way to satrt your program then ounce you have learned about the breed you could think about breeding. Anyone that breeds yorkies can tell you this is not a easy job what so ever you have to be there all the time with these dogs and the puppies as well. Please don't get me wrong i realize you are just trying to do a good thing for these woman but i honestly think this would be a better way to start all of this.

I agree with you the only reason i was going to donate a puppy is because i have a big heart and i thought it would have a good home helping these woman but as you know all my puppies are sold on spay nueter contracts but after all these post. I think you are correct this is just someone trying to stir things up on yorkie talk.

I asked for teacups not about money. I asked about teacups because the women I work with adore them. Most of them live alone and have small homes or apartments that have a 25 lb limit on the dogs they can own. No point in working with them to bond with a dog they can't keep. These women find teacups useful as they can take them with them when they see their therapist, are in the hospital recooperating from a beating or rape and the nurses don't mind, and they can take the dogs everywhere when they go out shopipng for example without leaving them home alone. These women also suffer from a great deal of anxiety and I have seen how being able to have the teacup with them allows them to keep the dog by their side without people at even restaurants complaining. A big dog would not accomplish this. Besides, I do have a very selfish reason for asking for that also. I am on SSI because of bad knees and a bad back. I have to be able to lift these dogs a lot, especially to give them regular bathes. I can not lift a big dog over and over day after day without straining my back. Nor can I handle walking a dog big enough to yank me all over the park. So these are the reasons why I want a small, or teacup, set of yorkies.
