I am still struggling with growing coat. I do have hopes to get more involved in showing some day but I do love just going and watching when I can. My dream is to one day have my own bred by owner champion. I know that won't be easy but I can dream. Hopefully we can meet someday. Right now I mainly go to shows in the Houston area. You do have beautiful dogs.  |
Thanks Bjh! Yes, yorkies are a lot different than the other breeds. So much can go wrong on a pup as it reaches adulthood and then not finish. I believe it is one of the hardest breed to show.
Grooming is very hard on a yorkies and may take years to learn. This is why some with practice on a nice yorkie and then wehn they have learned how, get a fantastic one for showing. I just have the knack for growing coat, but I have to give the credit to my yorkies since they have great coats. Keep practicing and trying and someday you may get there. It takes a lot of work and determination, but one can do it if they try. Best of luck!
