One must remember that Handlers are professionals....they are well known and there are judges that won't look down the lead. Handlers are well trained in the art of presenting a dog and can take a mediocre dog and Champion it. It's what a handler is being payed for. So, it's up to the breeders to breed and show the best respresentations of the breed and only take those dogs to the judges or give them to a handler to show. If we don't do this then the only ones we're fooling is ourselves, our breeding program and hurting the breed.

Since I've never shown UKC, I have a question for those that do. How many yorkie entries are present at a UKC show?
