I just want to say that I agree with everything Donna said in the above post. I first started showing yorkies over three years ago. I had no mentor and so I jumped in and made some mistakes but I have learned a lot and I have lots more to learn. There are many good breeder/exhibitors out there that are willing to help but sometimes you have to reach out them and show them that you are serious. No matter how many books you read or how many shows and videos you watch, there is nothing like real ring experience. While most of my showing experiences have been very good and positive, I have has some disappointing experiences also but in showing you do have to be tough and take the good with the bad. |
