They should have a phone number in the phone book for your kennel club, you may want to try that.
We have had some come to the classes and try their hand at showing before deciding if it is for them. And we usually between all of the members have a pup they can practice with and always could use an extra hand.
Is there any show breeders in your area that you could help them train their dogs. It wouldn't neccessarily have to be Yorkies but prehaps another toy breed. Just some food for thought. If you were close enough to me I would love it LOL

I don't remember seeing a phone number. Their website doesn't have much information on it. I really don't think they are the most active group. They may have meetings occasionally, and I think they put on two big events each year - Responsible dog ownership day and an all-breed dog show. I'm really not sure if there are any show breeder around here either...I don't know who any of the show breeders are in any other breed (besides Maltese). And there are no maltese or yorkie show breeders closer than a couple hours from me that I'm aware of.

I thought if I took a handling class, I'd just use Rylie since I'm just doing it to learn and for fun. Lacy pulls too much on her lead, but Rylie would probably do a good job so far as practicing. I'd love to actually assist an exhibitor if one were closer...sounds like fun!
