Yorkies are very hard to finish, because you have to know how to grow out a coat, train, and the competition is very tough. It takes a lot of determination and know how to finish a yorkie. There are other breeds that are a lot easier to show. Also yorkies go through such metamorphosis, that you have to learn to be patient and hope the one you have is finishable. You will have to go to many shows and let the breeders get to know you first.

Oh, just a suggestion in case you are thinking of this - I have very rarely found a good show prospect from a non-show home. Your best chance of getting a show prospect is from a show home - someone who shows and have champions already.
Good luck!
