I feel really honored to show with the greats but must admit it can be intimidating as well. This is a difficult breed to get right and they go through so many changes. Having fabulous people to mentor you really helps. |
I know what you mean Tami!
They help, because they really care. I have never met so many nice people that love the breed and so willing to share their knowledge and expertise. All you have to do is ask and some will help when they see you need it too. I was at a show once, shortly after returning and Gi was giving my daughter, who was showing her this day, and Gi was being a bit fiesty!Gi had already won Winners Bitch and had had enough of behaving. She was a teenager and hormones were out there. Well, a top yorkie person saw the trouble my daughter was having and actually came over to give her tips on how to hold Gi on the table. This person would go in later to compete with us and it came close for BOB. Infact the judge had Gi and this breeder's Special on the table together in the ring to make his final decision. She did not have to help, but because she was nice and cared, she helped. I will never forget this. Thank you!
I had to call another top yorkie person that I know late in the night for help and she was right there for me. I cannot thank this person enough. Thank you.
These people really care and I do not know what I would do without them. They are truly loved and greatly appreciated. I have met the best people showing yorkies. They are the greatest!!
