Since showing I've learned more about the breed, than having my nose in a book studying and attending classes........The standard only explains so much, it doesn't explain, correct lay back, correct gait, single tracking, correct undercarriage, rear angulation......how to spot a yorkie that is to close in the rear, or wide in the front...... |
Is there much purpose in showing without breeding? I'm just wondering because showing does fascinate me and I am interested in it, but I'm not so much interested in breeding. I mean puppies are cute and fun, but they're so much work and finding the right homes with people you trust can probably be a nightmare at times. I know showing and breeding normally go hand in hand because you're breeding for your next show dog and showing to make sure it's the best and then breeding for more great dogs. I've just always thought it would be fun to have one or two dogs to show, but I just don't really want to breed
