Thank you for the very kind words! Do you have pictures of CJ? I would love to see them.
His sire is from one of Georgina's litters. Diesel's breeders (with whom I co-own) are Bob & Tricia Stacy with Pastyme Yorkies (who apprenticed under Georgina). I always love watching Georgina's dogs in the ring--they are always so phenomenal examples of the breed.
Now that we've got some coat (but still not enough yet to hit the floor--thats gonna take another 4 mos or so) we are starting to get somewhere. We took a little hiatus from the ring for a few months because he looked so awkward. There were all of the pups in his class, with effectively the same length of coat as him, but being 2in taller than all of the dogs out there looked lanky and naked.
I've been wrapping and wrapping so now all of that time is finally paying off. His coat is growing and looking great. I am going to post another tread about putting weight on my dog. Before shows I practically have to hand feed him junk food (aka McDonalds chicken nuggets) just to get him to eat and beef up a little. He tends to be very skinny and usually just lightly grazes on his dog food. I've tried everything, including treadmill training him (which has really helped for the muscle development) but hasnt improved his eating habits.
Any advice?
Best,
