I think its hard when you are on a computer to express yourself.
Some things are taken the wrong way because you dont know what 'tone' the poster is using or whatever.
I think this is what has happend here (in other replies), I honestly dont think the other members were critisizing you, I think there answer was just taken the wrong way :)
I have just gotten my yorky pup, she will be 8 weeks on Thursday.
I got her from a friend who owns 3 yorkies and one had pup's so I guess you could say he was a back yard breeder because he dosn't really class hiself as a breeder in the way some other people who have websites and everything do ( if you know what I mean :) )
My Poppy is completley healthy (just a bit young) but he dosnt have the knowlege that some more experienced breeders have, which is why in future I would get a pup from a proper breeder because they would be able to help out first time owners a lot better :D
I havnt been on this site long but in the time I have been here I have learned a lot from more experienced owners and breeders.
So please dont let this one experience put you off this site because it really is a fountain or knowlege and I couldnt have raised my pup the way I am without it :)
Congratulations on your new pup by the way he is gorgeous :D

I haven't been on here in a while and I want to let everybody know that we are doing well. Buckley is doing great and is cute as ever. We have nothing but unconditional love for him. He is up to date on all his shots and has been microchipped. He will be getting nurtured in August when he is 6 months old. He is over 7 lbs now and is almost trustworthy in the house. Thank god he likes his crate. His hair is getting thick and staying short. I'm happy that he is low maintenance. LOL

misspelled word
 

He is getting nuetered.
