Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | Where to begin... I want to look into showing MeiLing so where do I begin? Where would I find a handler? What is the average cost when paying a handler, show fee, associated fees? I have so many question but don't know where to start. Please any advice, point of direction, links, recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

| I would start by going to some dog shows in your area and talking to some other show breeders. How old is MeiLing? |

| puppy Since she is quite young, I would advise the same...go to shows and watch, learn, ask about a handling class...you do not want to put her out with a handler until she is in full adult coat, ready to take the points..otherwise you will waste a ton of money. You can show her in the puppy classes and get her started. Can the breeder advise you? AND...she is a cutie for sure!!! |

Handlers charge from $55 to $100 depending on who you hire and that's just taking the dog in the ring and besides the handling fee you have boarding fee and coat care and part of the handlers traveling expenses. I would defintely find a toy handler vs. an all breed handler to start out with. You, yourself can start in the puppy classes to get them use to the ring and the environment but I wouldn't put with a handler until the dog was in full show coat and ready to win. You can go to onofrio.com and start looking for shows in your area that are coming up. Again, before putting with a handler make sure the dog is ready to start winning.

| Find a local breed club and I think there is a yorkie club not sure and they should tell you where to find handling classes. |
