I think I did that in Houston with Pam who lives in Houston...she was sitting alone in the restruant and I asked my friend Linda Thompson if she didn't mind if I asked Pam to join us and she said of course so off I went and asked her to join us  She readily agreed and come and had a nice lunch with us and also came and sat with us ringside to watch other breeds that day
I remember meeting you in Chicago and not sure I introduced myself as there were many people there but I believe we finally met I hope I was nice.
Usually at all breed shows it's hard to see where the new yorkie people are since most of us already have reserved grooming and especially if it's a "BIG" all breed show with everyone so spread out sometimes it's hard to find a newbie. Of course I try and introduce myself to anyone I think is new but I'm just speaking for myself only and how I try and do. I"m a chatter box usually except at ringside before I go in because I guess I'm concentrating on showing my dog. I even chat while I'm grooming when someone comes and starts asking questions even though I'm trying to get my dog ready.
I understand how a newbie feels not knowing anyone but like we always say here we are trying to get our yorkie or dog ready to show and once we are done it's less stressful and that is when we have more time to speak to newbies or anyone actually. Getting ready to show can be alittle stressful so I hope newbies or anyone can understand that and try to be understanding as we try to be understanding as well I sure hope that made sense LOL

I remember also in Texarkana last year when Carree Farmer showed for the first time...I went up to her and introduced myself before we went into the ring. I went to where she was set up and just introduced myself so I think for myself I welcome newbies pretty readily.
Roseanne Fett always welcomes newbies and usually one of the first ones to welcome anyone new
so I think Texas welcomes newbies pretty well, of course that is from my perspective
