After reading this issue of the Yorkshire Magazine, I made a comment to my husband how some of the dogs looks so different and still win. One or two of them were really unique. Round eyes, long looking neck, and long legs. Maybe it was just the picture, but I had to show him that picture.
I had to copy all of the information that you guys gave on topknot poofs, for when Sasha's hair is long enought to put in a topknot.
I emailed a lady in my area, who used to show yorkies and I think maybe judge them also, to see if she would put her hands on Sasha to see if she has what it takes to make it to the ring. Especially about enough leg under her and reach. Hopefully, she can help me. I also asked her which vet in our area has she used in the past when questions of dental concern arrise.
My breeder lives 2-1/2 hours away, so when I have a question- like about her teeth, I have to do like YorkieTalk and take pictures and send them. Seeing a dog in person is way better in giving help than pictures, but you here on this thread are great.
Exhibitors, thumbs up as you are willing to help those of us who are so interested in showing a Yorkie to keep the Yorkshire Terrier as close to the standard as possible so that our loveable Yorkies will continue to live up to the standard for many centuries to come. |
I prefer a dog that is up on leg, they look so elegant when their in show coat and gaiting around the ring. However, they should be balanced, not appearing to be on stilts....I prefer a neck that doesn't appear to be sitting on the dogs shoulders....again my preference, just a more elegant look. Although it won't look elegant if it doesn't have the correct head carriage, hence again that has to do with the lay back (should be at a 45 degree angle). Round eyes are definately not my preferance....I prefer almond eye.
Start training your lil Sasha to handle a topknot....just take a small amount of hair and band it......make sure you take it down at night....she needs to get use to the feel.
