I campaigned Cammie and again cost me a small fortune, she had one litter and she's spayed. Both of her puppies will never reproduce because one is in a pet home spayed and Molly will be spayed in a couple of weeks. And when the next special yorkie comes along I'll campaign them and will probably cost me another small fortune and I might do the same thing spay/neuter and place. I'd rather show than breed actually.

I have known people that feel that way and gosh you should think about maybe offering to do some handling as there are people who would like their dogs in the ring but can't show them themselves for one reason or another, hard to find good handlers that are also kind to the dog and don't take on a bunch of clients at once.
Think about it anyway.
