Some shows she looked better than the others, except just too small. I finally asked the last judge I showed her under (Tampa show) why she gave the points to another yorkie and she stated it was because she did not want to waste the points on my little girl. She was just too small for breeding and better to give the points to a bitch that would be bred someday. I learned a very valuable lesson that day - to always look at your dogs with a critical eye!

Hard lesson to learn, wasting our money on entry fees, traveling expenses, etc....But, it seems those dinky do yorks just are so perfectly structured.....wonderful color, beautiful faces and we get blinded by that and forget the reason for showing; to gain approval of our breeding stock.
