You learn so much from seeing a real show dog at shows and showing, as well as knowing what qualities and personality it takes to win in the ring. It is hard to put into words all that we learn by showing, seeing, feeling structure/coat quality, being with/living with a yorkie that loves the ring and has that attitude. There is just so much you must know. I hope this helps.

I understand what U're saying & I see U're reasoning behind it so I guess my option would be to send one I thought might be a Show Hopeful out with a handler then??? Or try showing myself. I've never been to a show and seems like every time I want to go or think I'm gonna get to go then something happens to where I can't.

I don't know what to do. I just feel kinda lost, I'd hate to have a baby that could of been a Show Star and then place that puppy in home as a Pet Quality baby and someone say well U should of NEVER let that baby go as it could of been in the Ring. If that makes any sense. I just don't know. I feel so discouraged now. Is it wrong for me to feel this way?

Sage is from a beautiful, good, sound line Connor of lady hawks is her father I know this doesn't mean she'll have a Show Quality baby. I don't feel I've made any mistakes by adopting her to help get our babies to the AKC Standards.

I just had such high hopes for Sage & Galahad having just one show quality baby maybe I shouldn't have those hopes or maybe I shouldn't feel that way.
Maybe if they should have one I could keep it and see what could happen by then U never know. How many times do U show one before U adopt it out as "Show Quality" or a "Show Hopeful" ?? I'm still trying to learn all this. Thanks for all U're thoughts. I went and viewed U're site and U have precious babies there.
