If you go into things defensively and thinking you already know it all, you'll waste your time and theirs. If you think peole have been snotty to you.. girl, you're going to have to grow a real thick skin real fast if you want to play in this playground!  If I threw in the towel every time someone was mean to me, I'd have a mountain of towels 10 feet high and would be into underwater basket weaving by now instead of yorkies.. LOL (a good use for all of those towels..lol)

the thing is becki that the people you mentioned last night were all standing around in a group talking to each other when my friend and I tried to join the conversation that about ten or twelve of them were having, they turned us a cold shoulder. The problem is not finding a good dog but finding someone to mentor me. One of the people you mentioned said he would come to my conformation class three weeks in a row to help me but he never showed after I drove an hour and a half each way to meet with him. I have researched and studied all kinds of things but when I decided to show, I just had to jump right in with my limited knowledge about showing and no one to help . But that's alright. I have learned to go to shows and keep to myself. Several people have mentioned those you did because they are in kentucky but they are not a friendly bunch at all and I don't even want to be like them and think I am so uppitidy that I can't help someone who is just learning. I am always willing to share what I know with new people.
