I won't keep you in suspense. I met Bente today and I chatted with her for awhile and she was able to point me in a starting direction. I met several other great people there that had great info!! There are handling classes that she suggested I start out with. I need to have a dog, so I'm going to work with her on that. So, it may not be that long before I get a pup!! I just need to be lots of homework and find a show prospect. Bente has a litter, but all the puppies are already spoken for. I'm going to work with her and get the best dog I can to start out with and learn to handle with it!! Even if he/she doesn't turn out, I've learned to handle and am that much closer to the ring!! She said it may take up to 2 years to get a ""Good"" show dog. But that's okay. I'll start out with handling/grooming, and at least I'll have a YORKIE!!! Oh my gosh...at the show with all those adorable yorkies just makes you not want to wait one more minute!! I just want to kiss every face there!! The top Yorkie in the US was there today. He was gorgeous!!

So, today was GREAT!! I'm so happy!!!

Sounds like you day was wonderful!!!
Now to find your furbaby to practice with. I'm so happy for you and I just know its going to be great to get such wonderful tips and experience. I wish you the best.
