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. |
Well Barb things in the ring have changed and they keep changing all the time...I'm sorry you feel that you are being questioned BUT you really have to stay in ring to keep up with the changing times. And to do that and gain knowledge and experience you have to keep at it. If I didn't continue to be in the ring I wouldn't know some of the tricks I pick up by watching the professionals in the ring. When you are out you can't pick up little ring tricks or even sitting on the sidelines. Trust me you have to be in the ring to be able to know those little tricks
