I read your question and the responses.. I think you got some very good answers...Yahoo! Answers allows you to ask thousands of people your question..You will, in reply get opinion, facts, mis-information, and expert advice..It is up to the asker to choose the best answer for their question...
/The answerers don't even know you, so there is no way that you should take offense to their answers, unless they are vulgar..For all they know, they could be answering the President's question...
However, there was nothing in your answers that should be construed as offensive, unless you are just reading that in to the answers..they were all simply truthful opinions..and some mis-information..
And to the person above..PETA could care less about the health of any companion animal..You won't find ANY PETA wannabe's here...but, there ARE many caring, dog loving people..I think all of the advice recieved was intended for the good of the dog..

I just read the answers you got to your other question about breading your Yorkie. Granted the one answer was rather perverted but I thought the other answers were trying be helpful and letting you know the dangers of Yorkies giving birth and finding a reputable breeder to find a male to breed with your female.

I am not being bitchy, offensive, and I am not inadequate. However, what are your motives for wanting to breed? Has your female been tested for any and all genetic or hereditary related issues? What is her pedigree? Is she AKC registered? Does she conform to the standard? Are you active in the Toy Breed Club? Breeding should only be done after thorough research, should only be done to better the breed. If you're determined to breed, then advertise, and make sure you're prepared for all of the expense. You'll also need a good contract.

SPAY OR NEUTER!!!!!!!!
1.Not all dogs are built to be bred.
Most pets, although lovable, are not of breeding quality because they have genetic defects and other problems that should not be perpetuated. People who breed dogs for a living are very careful about choosing which dogs they will breed together based on physical characteristics and behavior. Some people decide that it would be fun to breed and just start looking for a dog that has the proper equipment and is willing. This can be a huge mistake.
2. There are already too many dogs in the world.
Breeding your pet is a serious endeavor and should not be taken lightly. There are far too many pets that end up in shelters without good homes. If your breed of dog has large litters, what will you do if you are unable to sell the puppies? Do you really want to contribute to the massive problem of pet overpopulation?
3. Dogs that aren’t neutered face serious health risks.
Consider your dog’s own health. Male dogs that are neutered are less likely to be hit by cars, because unaltered males have a very strong urge to roam and find a fertile female. Male dogs will go over or under fences, through doors and windows, and will pull leashes out of unsuspecting hands in quest of a mate.
Additionally, neutering greatly reduces the incidence of prostatic disease and eliminates testicular cancer in males, and cuts down on breast cancer in females. The possibility of uterine infections is also eliminated by spaying.
4. Female dogs used for breeding may have unwelcome visitors.
If you spay your dog, you will not have to chase persistent male dogs out of your yard. Also, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up messy heat cycles.
5. Be prepared to work like a dog when your pet goes into labor.
Many people do not realize just how much work and expense is involved with letting dogs have puppies. Getting the mother through pregnancy is the easy part, but labor is truly laborious for dog and owner alike. Dogs usually decide to have their puppies at the most inconvenient times, like 2:00 in the morning when veterinary hospitals are closed.
If your pet develops a problem during delivery, it means at least the expense of an emergency call. If the complications are life threatening, you must be prepared, especially if you have a breed of dog that has a broad head like a pug, to pay for an emergency C-section. It is very distressing to have to leave home in the middle of the night, worry about your pet, get a large veterinary bill and then try to explain to your boss why you cannot possibly come to work the next day.
6. It can be devastating when the puppies die.
There is always the prospect of the loss of some or all of the puppies. A neonatal mortality rate of 10 to 30 percent is considered normal. And, it’s easy to lose a puppy if you don’t have the experience or knowledge to care for newborns. Because puppies are not able to regulate their own body temperature initially, you may need to supplement their environment with heat.
7. Not all dogs make the best mothers.
If your female doesn’t have enough milk to feed all its puppies, or decides that feeding her offspring is not her cup of tea, it will be your responsibility to provide them with nutrition every three to four hours, round the clock. And how many mouths are there to feed?
Another aspect of puppy care that you can look forward to if your dog wants nothing to do with her brood is the manual stimulation of urination and defecation. Until puppies are three weeks old they will only void if directly stimulated. If mom isn’t doing this, you will need to take a moistened cotton ball and gently rub the urogenital area until the babes begin to urinate and pass stool. Failure to do this can result in some pretty unhappy puppies.
8. Good luck seeing a profit!
Your last responsibility before they go to a new home is to have them dewormed, vaccinated, and examined by a veterinarian. You will want to make sure that you have budgeted a sufficient amount for this purpose. Needless to say, if you decide to breed mixed breed puppies, you have no opportunity to recoup this expense.
Puppies are a lot of fun and it can be very exciting when they are born, but more often than not, owners find themselves in over their heads when they decide to endeavor into breeding.

More likely than not, because you may, either advertently or inadvertently, hit a nerve.
However, that is in no way an acceptable excuse for rudeness.
Also, you need to keep in mind that no matter what you do or say, someone will always be offended, as some people it doesn't take that much to be offended. Ultimately, that's THEIR choice. They may not be able to have control over what others do, but THEY DO have control over how they respond, and becoming offended ultimately is a personal choice in the end.
Also, there is something you should NEVER DO online: And it is about seeking advice about breeding animals. I guess there are a lot of PETA wannabes on these forums who will eat you alive.
Been there and done that.

Sorry if this sounds rude or anything, it's meant to be informative.
People are bitchy because thousands of dogs and cats die everyday in shelters because of overpopulation. Also because you probably not highly educated in breeding and genetics. Even more so because a good breeder doesn't look for studs on places like this...

Because some people are concerned for your poor dog, even if you aren't (rather, it seems like you aren't, because breeding can be dangerous). You should apprentice under an accomplished breeder for quite some time before attempting it on your own.

some people are just plain stupid i once asked a question about how to stop puupies from crying and got rude responses, even though i play with my puppy, spend time and show lots of love and attention, they could have jsut said maybe it is spoilt and wants to get it's own way, but instead some dumb **** just assumed that i neglect my pups, so u know what do what u have to do and ask what u want to ask and forget about those saddos that all they want to do is just be plain ignorant and stupid.
