Can I ask how U know U've got a puppy who might turn out to be a show dog? I was just wondering what U look for. I know Sir. Galahad has that prance I see when I watch the dog shows, really that is his walk, he prances everywhere and all the time, I always say he'd be a good in a show ring with the way he strides and prances. Once again they are so precious and beautful! How long have U been breeding Yorkies? I love the color of their coats!!! Hugs, Lee |
When evaluating for potential show I take a good look at them at 8 weeks old. I watch them on the move as well as stacked on the table. I consider attitude and temperment, topline, tailset, earset, bite, reach and drive, and coat texture. I start working on getting them used to the table, having their bite looked at, paying attention to me when asked to, and of course the lead. So much can happen between puppyhood and adulthood, it's really hard to judge but one of my mentor's told me to take a good look at 8 weeks and don't look back until 6 monthes. Danali looks really good at present, we'll just see what the future holds.
