YES! What happened? I thought this was a very good thread. Did someone offend you???

I also thought it was a good thread. I sure hope i never offend anyone.I'm a little green behind the ears when it comes to raising Yorkies or even talking about them. I just know i love them and opened to any info i can get to help me be a better mom to them.

Bigdog , you didn't offend nobodies .

Maybe this thread isnt the reason she is gone??? At least im hoping it isnt..I thought it was going wonderfully!:( I keep going back to read and it doesnt look as if anyone was upset or angry...what could have happened?

I'm relatively new to this site, also. We love our female sooooo much that we considered breeding her so we could have another. Her personality is adorable and she's a doll. It wasn't easy getting information from those in the know here. They told me to "do research" and that's what I thought I was doing here. Nonetheless, I bought another instead. I really feel like I should have bred her anyway, but I let everyone scare me out of it. I don't mind being told the pitfalls, but I felt everyone was treating me like some nincompoop! Are all breeders uppity with all breeds? Jeez, my dog is wonderful and I love her....what's wrong with wanting another? (Okay, let me have it!! I worked on my backbone.)

That happens to alot of people on forums devotedtoyou and that the reason I started this thread:) I wanted to get those that were thinking of breeding to post without worrying about being judged which is what happens alot unfortunately. Weather you breed or not your female is YOUR choice;) Some will try to talk you out of it by making you think that breeding is 100% negative and others will just say you are iresponsable,but I have learned that its better to think for your self and do what you think is right for you and your yorkie..also,not everybody will try to worry you,some will help and give you the info that you need;).I am going to breed Jess and I have been judged alot for this,but I love Jess and this is the reason I want to breed her..her personality is wonderful,she is totally healthy and she is just amazing,how could I not want more like her;) If you want to breed your yorkie,there are so many ways of finding info...books,online,vets,other breeders..etc,the list is endless:) You just have to make it clear that this is what you are going to do and in the end people will stop trying to change your mind and respect your desition:) Now,if you begin to doubt over and over after reading certain posts and opinions,then breeding should wait because you arent ready;) Once you can read the negative posts and STILL feel confident about breeding,then go ahead.
There is ALOT to learn on breeding,I started reading almost a year ago and Im STILL finding new info on the subject.I have my vet who gives me tons of info every time I visit and my oldest yorkies breeder who is in contact with me via e-mail and telephone so I feel very confident about this:)

Do whatever you want to do .
