I'm missing some posts

Do you really want to go through all the highs & lows and WORK. Most show dogs don't get to sleep in your bed. Are you sure you want a show dog or a loving pet? All yorkies are wonderful.

My show dogs do sleep in my bed most of the time. Sorry. They are my pets first. I know, I spoil them. Oh well, they still show well though. And coats are very nice and long. I just wrap them. Yes, it is a lot of work to keep a dog in coat! But well worth it.
