| showing Don't get discouraged, no one was born knowing what to do...go to all the shows you can and watch, get books and a video if possible. Find a local dog club with handling classes for owners.... Listen, the first Yorkie I ever showed was in an AKC show, judged by Anne Rodgers Clark ( she was equal to the Queen of England in the dog world) I actually entered a 5 yr old male in open dog..his coat was no where near the floor and his top knot was just about taped to his head..Mrs. Clark treated me the same as if I was showing the best Yorkie to ever enter a show.. 35 yrs ago there was no internet, few books and almost no where to learn anything...I saw an ad in Dog World for the show and entered...and I am sure I gave those Yorkie people the laugh of the weekend..but I just kept doing it until I learned... Shame on anyone who forgets where they started...some were so fortunate to get a start near the middle of the ladder, have excellent mentors and were able to purchase a quality show potential...others come from the wrong side of the tracks and work every step of that ladder..some might even laugh behind your back, so you will need thick skin, but the results are well worth it..good luck |

| YorkieRose, you are an absolute sweetheart for all your encouragement!! It is discouraging to try to get into showing, because most who knows anything about it keeps it to themselves. Laura |

| I don`t want to open a new thread so I hope someone will read this question. Is there any video for sale where it is possible to learn from how to train yorki for shows? |

| and once you get your show jitters conquered, next you should try to handle your own dogs in the ring... it's fun.. here in the philippines we dont have a lot of show yorkies..once in awhile a yorkie will be shown AND will finish, then disappear..i actually show bull terriers, but a breeder friend knew i love yorkies (but had stopped taking care of one when i had gotten pregnant), gave me my first show yorkie (GAVE, with the condition that i show), to encourage newbies & wannabes yorkie exhibitors... charming is still a pup, and i am rediscovering on how to take care of a yorkie... |
