Have you checked with your breeder yet? You could also contact the breeders in your area that show and ask them or go to AKC for agents (they have a list). Also go to the shows yourself and ask - handlers will be listed as agents in the show catalog. Just be sure they specialize in showing yorkies. With our breed coats - it takes an expert to present one in top condition. Also be sure they are very good to the yorkies they take out and very responsible. It is tough handing your baby off to someone and you want to be able to trust them. I am very picky and one should be. There are several breeders that do not live in your area, but do show in PA. You could meet up with them when there is a show. Just a few suggestions.

I would show your pup yourself till they are in full coat - usually 2 year old. And then if you still want to - place them with a handler you trust. Go to handling classes yourself too and learn. You will meet people there that also could recommend someone.

Best of luck - get ready to have a lot of fun! It is very exciting showing.
Who did you get your baby from? Share photos too! We love to see pictures! Love those babies!
