It seems that every time I post in the showing section everyone starts questioning my experience and showing abilities. I am 61 years old and I had been involved in showing other breeds a number of years ago. I did show yorkies for about a year and then for personal reasons I had to quit showing but I would still attend shows to watch whenever possible. The basics of showing I understand quite well. I am not an expert on grooming yorkies but I am learning. Showing dogs is like riding a bicycle, once you know how it is hard to forget. Each breed is different and there are many different tricks to learn, depending on the breed you are showing. |
I've handled Border Collies and Dobes......way different than yorkies.......each requires a completely different set of handling skills. The art of presenting a yorkie to it's best advantage is a bit more difficult.
Mary Ann you've handled Afgan's and Doxie's...I know you've not been in the ring with a yorkie but, Phil has, didn't he say it was like apple's and oranges.
