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
He would be just fine for you to test the waters. Thats kind of how I got started although at the time I didn't know the one I had wasn't even close to show quality and was a very poor representative of the breed but I sure loved her dearly. I took her to handling class and even entered a few shows. Gosh I was sooooo green!
I was kind of like Pat and kept going to shows and watch the Yorkies, talked to the breeders that were there. I did that for years before I finally had a bitch i could get a start with. And I found when I approached reputable breeders, yep they recognized me from hanging around the dog shows for a couple of years.
