He has a couple of Champions in his pedigree but I doubt he would be show quality in y'alls eyes. That is why I would just test the waters so to speak before I go in too deep.
Also I am new to the breed so I don't know any show breeders here close to me. Just thought it would be fun to give it a whirl.... I already have him so what the heck  |
Yes, it is worth it!
You will have a lot of fun, meet new people, and learn a lot. No, it is not easy - but just remember to have fun and let Wolfie have fun. I started out as a pet owner too. We all started somewhere when we all started, even the top show people, but if you don't get out there you won't learn.
Wolfie and you can start handling classes when he is about 5.5 to 6 months. He needs to have all his shots first. That is how my handling classes go. In my class there are beginners and veterans that just want to expose their new puppies to the sounds and smells of class. I have learned from them too. I am the only one there with yorkies. The class I attend is for table top breeds (toys) and then the next class that night is for larger breeds. But how they do the classes depends on how many sign up for that session of the class.
Have fun and let us know how it goes. Wolfie is a cutie!
And also go to the shows! You need both.
