As stated above, go to as many shows as possible.....subscribe to YT Magazine and Top Notch Toys.
I've only used a handler once, but he handled exclusively for my breeder/mentor....I wouldn't use an all breed handler.....would only use one that only handled toys and at best yorkies.
Kirsten McGregor is probably the top Yorkie Handler in the Country. She's handled and taken yorkies to the # spot several years running now.
Barb Biessel....is one of the best and Kirsten trained under her....
Trish Kuelessa- only handles yorkies....handles only 1 Bitch, 1 Dog and a Special. The only time she handles more is at a specialty. But, she does have an assistant and at times her granddaughter travels and shows.
There are several others...Molly is on the west coast, handles for Pastoral and Yorkboro
Tara Martin pretty much handles Maltese....but, also handles Yorkies.
Florida....Mark Chilcut.....breeder/handler.
You can also look on the AKC website for Registered handler.....ask questions, find out how how and where the dogs are housed, whether or not the use your dogs for fillers, etc. Ideally it would be best if you could visit their facilities.
