I don't think it's fair for the client or owner to be out that much expense on a puppy. I as a owner handler, I will take out a puppy in the ring for experience and if we win then great but as I'm just now getting into handling I offer advise to put a yorkie with a handler when they are ready to win. Now with saying that...I wouldn't expect the handler to just put the dog out in a show without training the yorkie first and seeing how dog and human are going to mesh. That might take a month or two to be as one.
Again, this is how I see it and wouldn't waste my money on a handler unless my dog was ready to win and I as a handler wouldn't take a dog unless it was ready to win.

BTW....I'm a new handler in the Texas area
what I mean by that is I'm new to taking on clients...I've finished several yorkies and just having finished my first client yorkie this past March and my proudest moment with Morgan was getting a 5 point major on her in NY at the Progessive Toy Dog Show!
