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? |
mary, it depends on the region. There are states like Virginia, North carolina Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Indiania that have as many yorkie entries as AKC shows and more than some AKC shows. Then there are areas where it is hard to get competetion wins unless you take a group placement. kentucky and Tennessee usually have low yorkie entries.
