90% of the talk IMO should take place before the hiring...of course, you want to discuss your dogs personality, likes and dislikes...but you know the two handers I mentioned can spend about a day or less with any Yorkie and know what they have to do to finish it...shoot, I am not that good and I can figure it out in a few days...pro's and con's of the dog, where and how...I am not a professional at handling and it takes me forever.
I would never hire anyone who treated anyones dogs in a way I would not treat or show mine...
I would perfer not to hire a person who did not breed and show Yorkies at some point in their life...they know the judges and everything inside and out...it goes so fast with the type handler...they may charge more, but less is spent in finishing the dog.
My handler used to calendar 3 mos...and she always did it in that time frame or less...but a good handler will not take a so-so dog to make money..
