Donna, you are right, the more you go the more you learn. I totally agree, yorkies are not an easy breed to show but I will still get out there and do my best with what knowledge I have. If I get out handled, which I am sure will happen, then so be it. I show when I can because I enjoy it and I do know some of the sneaky little tricks handlers use but I would rather win honestly than to know I won because of some sneaky little trick. |
When newbies are concerned, one has to be careful......It's somewhat like mentoring.....and unless there is some expertise behind, one can be setting a newbie on the wrong track. As was stated by the OP her confidance is waning......
Being in the ring has nothing to do with learning sneaky little tricks but honeing up on your handling and presentation skills
