I do not think $3000 is that much to finish a Yorkie at all..when you figure you are paying the handler a ring fee for each show that runs as much as $65/85, daily boarding fee, all entries, traveling expenses (RV gas)
A good handler like I had knew exactly what judges to show my dogs under... there were no wasted entries...some judges perfer a type and I did not always know what judge wanted what...rarely did she come home without the pts...

If a breeder shows their own to championship, I would be surprised if they did not spend about $3000 or more..they must travel, hotels, some have RV's to save hotel costs...my handler took 3 months, that was her time frame...I have friends who take 1 to 2 yrs..even 3 yrs to finish their dogs...so those TIME expenses are hard to calulate..
