I just wondered of each of U Show Breeders here on YT that have puppies, females and males how do U do it all?


How many Yorkies do each of U have now?


I have 11 right now, and I also work full time


Do U have certain days sit up for baths?

I bathe every day, so that by the end of the week all of mine have had baths

Do U bath all U're Yorkies on the same day?

Do U have certain days for training?

Training is done each day for about 20 to 30 minutes, unless something comes up


What days do U groom/brush coats (every day, every other day ??).

Do U do all U're Yorkies grooming/brushing on the same day?

Grooming is done whenever a dog is on my lap, they are brushed, otherwise they get a good grooming after bath time.


And then U're shows, how do U all find the time (U make the time don't U.) to do it all?

When we have upcoming shows it is real hetic at my house during the week, because I have to get the showdogs bathed, my other chores done, and shopping for the meals in the RV, but somehow we manage.

How many of U have small children that show Yorkies too?

Isn't it hard to raise small children and show Yorkies to? (I have 2 small girls 9 & 12, & 5 Yorkies & I have a hard time keeping up. I don't see how in the world U all do it)

No kids here, I did not get into this until my children were grown and out of the house

Does U're hubbies help U?

Hubby is just as involved in this as me, he shares grooming and feeding, along with household chores. He loves showing the dogs.

How in the world do U all fit whelping into U're busy lives? I go a look at all U're photos of U're beautiful babies and I think how in the world do U all keep up. God love U all, it must be so hard to do it all. I bet U get so tired, don't U?

Seeing as I only breed every couple of years, there is not much problem with the whelping aspect. The bitches do most of the work and care of the little ones, when everything goes right. If there is a problen, then it takes a lot of devotion to tube feed every 2 hours, and make sure pup stays warm, and tended.

I know to many questions right sorry, just trying to learn.

Hope this is some of the information that you are looking for.
