 showing
Good advice..visit a show..at first do not take you dog. Watch and learn..meet a few people, after the showing of course...people are too busy before hand to chat and may appear nasty...of course many are just plain rude to non-exhabitors. Ask a few to look at your puppy...do not take one persons advice as gospel...if you ask a judge, make sure the judge is a breeder judge...or at least has many years of Yorkie juding under their belts.
Even if you are not interested in showing Amber, you can have someone go over her and you will learn from that evaluation..showing is not for the thin skinned. It is a cut throat world and not a sport as in England, but there are many wonderful people, you have to sort them out..like anything else in the world..perhaps you could apply to join a regional canine or Yorkie club..we had several non-showing supporters in our club..best of luck |
