Look for a puppy that is at least three months of age if you want to consider to show. If you can get your hands on 5 to 6 months much better odds. You can not tell what a baby younger then three months will do.

Remember to be shown the dog must have an outgoing personality and want to be in the limelight. Hard to tell that on a 8 week old puppy. Go to some local shows and look at the type of Yorkies being shown in your area. Take a look at the mom and dad? Do they look like the dogs in the ring? If they do you may have a good deal.

Price on the puppy is not bad. Male or female? Remember showing is hard work and expensive- don't expect yo make a return on your investment for a long time. Often we place our dogs with handlers to finish them as Champions. At times a handler can finish them with less time and financial investment
