Best advice I can give you as a beginner is to see if your local kennel club offers conformation handling classes and enroll when you get your yorkie. Sometimes a professional handler living in the area, will also offer handling classes. Then take your yorkie to matches to get them use to the environment and having a judge go over them. Practice at home setting them up on a table, and have someone check their bites, feel legs, etc. Practice the different gaiting motions in the ring. Some judges do down and back, other prefer a triangle. Lots of Luck, Barb  |
Thank you so much for the advice. I look forward to reading your posts and possibly meeting you at a show some day. Have a great day!

SOME FOLKS SAY MY YORKIES ARE JUST DOGS. I SAY THEY ARE MY CHILDREN AND SMARTER THAN MOST FOLKS!!!
